The City store needs to be moved and the whole area needs to be redeveloped.

The City store in it's current location won't tie in with the new arena.

A new large glazed building covering the whole area housing different bars, catering venues, a stage, etc.

There is so much more City can do with that area with the arena being close by.

I think they were meant to be moving the Store when they planned to do the North Stand. Think it was being moved to the side directly opposite where the arena is going.

Completely agree, but if the plan is to start when the arena is finished, any work they do now would only be a temporary 3 year thing so doubt they would spend too much on any strucrural facilities or new shop.

Thought this twitter link was interesting.
Shows how the new advertising boards can be adapted depending on the viewing country. All means scope for better targeted displays which of course means more £££

It's already used widely in the Bundesliga and the PL are apparently finalising how it can be used for PL matches. For example, betting/alcohol restrictions vary from country to country.

Clever stuff. ITV tried it a few years back, with less advanced technology obviously because it looked dreadful and only worked on the main camera. Is it definitely our advertising boards though? We've got two banks of them to create double height but they will only appear that way from the main tv angle. That's going to be tricky working out the maths on that.

I don't know the answer but I'd be staggered if we weren't using the new technology.

Alas.

It looks alright there, but fitting in 10 people at once was a push...
