Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

The only thing he would give up was 8,000 seats, museum, plaza & hotel, but no photos or indication of whether the hotel was part of the stand. His description - WOW!

Yes same with my pal in the club , he did say hotel would be part of it though.

I think the skys the limit to what the area around the ground will eventually look like

Thanks.

A few on here have gestimated 8000 extra seats that would take the Etihad to 61,400.

A hotel and museum won’t fit on the land between an expanded NS and Joe Mercer way, so they’ll probably be located on the Collar site.

A plaza (which I mentioned yesterday), would mean the redevelopment of City Square, the souvenier store might go, along with the current bars and restaurants.

Any info on the souvenier store?

Suggested to me that museum one side, hotel the other, with the plaza space where the club store is now. He's trying to get me some stills, but I suspect if he gets these he/I won't be able to share. That would suggest the store might form part of the extended stand.

That makes the most sense in my opinion. Get hold of the stills and just describe them (exactly) on here so we can mock them up!

I doubt he will get them, to be fair.

I was told the store will be includes in the stand itself. The plaza area will link the ground to the arena

Cracking photos @HelloCity you can see from these photos that a new expanded North Stand would basically go all the way down to the club shop, so a new city square will be needed and the club shop relocated, I totally agree with @jrb that the best place for this would be the land where the building units area for COOP live are. If you were to build here you could have an expanded City Square/Plaza area that could then lead to a new area that was the land the former super casino was to be built on, this area could feature the club shop, museum, hotels other shops and pubs restaurants and offices for city staff that would be relocated from the stadium and the office block next to the Mercedes garage, Spurs have done this with Lilywhite House.

Looking at the pictures there is not a lot of room for parking, If you go to Wembley you will see that they have been clever with parking by using multi-storey car parks even one for buses



This is Lilywhite house at Spurs new Staduim it sits on top of a Sainburys supermarket the same could be done for City the club offices sitting on top of the new club shop etc in this building. As you can see from the picture of the former super casino it fits nicely to land that would then join up with Etihad Campus. Having something like this would help both the Staduim and COOP live as it would give people a place to meet and have a drink etc before attending a game or concert this would help make the area a destination all week round as this building could also feature a hotels,club shop,offices,themed resturants and other leisure activties like a cinema etc.

Looking at the below pic, it’s easy to imagine the following.

They could build the stand.
Have City Square where the club shop is.
Have City Square under a roof with supports in each corner of the square.
Have a covered path from the square to the stand.
Have a covered path from the square to the arena (top of Joe Mercer away).

It would then all feel like one interacted venue.

Highlight would be under cover:

Hello City.

Thanks for posting.

Don’t know if anyone else noticed from the pictures?

Last time I did a picture update I noticed a digger on the Collar site near the bridge? I didn’t take much notice of it. Thought it had just been parked up there.

If you look at one of the aerials pictures (not dated) Hello City posted, it shows a large hole has been dug. Possible utilities, etc? TBH I’m not getting too excited as it’s just a hole. Soil testing rigs would be much more exciting.

I’m nipping down that way later on so I’ll take some pictures. Hopefully a piece of cladding has been attached to the Coop Live Arena since my last update?

Zoomed into the picture via my iPad.Click to enlarge.

PS. The pictures look quite old as the trees have leaves and the outer Steel frame is much further along now and almost finished?

Looking at those think the Squash centre could really do with relocating.
