Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread
- Thread starter Danamy
- Start date
No doubt the club will be on to it IF possible and don't forget we were the first club to install double height led pitchside advertising and that was/is controversial.@Keeper! this is what I meant, The Sphere that you posted above makes this in advertising a day, The Cube at the New York City FC is seven storeys high.
Football clubs now make money from advertising steps in the stand with LED signage, imagine how much money is to be made from outside a stadium using this technology

It’s likely that football’s TV audiences never actively notice the stairwells of a stadium whilst watching a match. Yet, one company is working to change this.www.soccerscene.com.au

There are issues with LED's in terms of light pollution and the Etihad is very near to a lot of housing.
But the development of the Stand and all that goes with it is a huge advert for the club and and that will be getting millions visiting in person every year.

Does the etihad have this new steps advertising that I’ve seen elsewhere?
It does - in the East stand level 1. It's very obvious from CB stand as the logos change

Having been to the squash centre in the past when there’s not been a game on and the screens were permanently on, I’m not sure I’d wanta live in one of the apartments that’d be overlooking (this idea) of a 7m LED display that would inevitably be permanently on.

I think this is short term pain. When the development is finished many will hold back for a pint and stay around the new City Square. I’ll be one of them.

This is why I am suggesting using the roof of the fan zone for this then use City Hall which is indoors as City answer to the Cube this would stop light pollution.
I do not know if City are still going ahead with the massive LED screens on the hotel ends ?

Coop Live
Co-op Live fans to get free bus and tram travel in opening season
The Co-Op Live is opening this year
www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk
· Travel on Metrolink included for Co-op Live ticket holders from 20 April to 30 June 2024, in first of its kind initiative.
· Introduction of a shuttle bus service from the Etihad Campus.
·A dedicated page on Transport for Greater Manchester website to make fan travel to the arena as easy as possible.
Co-op Live and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) are today announcing a ground-breaking initiative which will see travel on Metrolink and new city centre shuttle buses included in all arena event tickets from 20 April to 30 June 2024, during the brand new venue’s opening season.
As part of Co-op Live’s commitment to sustainable travel and funded by the venue, fans will be able to use Metrolink from four hours before and up to four hours after (depending on the timing of each show) with a valid arena event ticket. The initiative will be active across all four Metrolink zones, allowing people to travel at a time most convenient to them.
The introduction of trams every six minutes, all-day from Monday to Saturday, and later trams on a Friday and Saturday, promises increased capacity between the city centre and the Etihad Campus tram stop. By offering all-zone travel on Metrolink, fans travelling to the arena will be able to make the most of one of Greater Manchester’s many Park and Ride sites.
The next step in Co-op Live’s considered approach to travel to and from the venue, this initiative fully complements the development of the ‘CityLink’ walking route - a 'significant' upgrade to the existing link between Holt Town tram stop and the Etihad Campus. A joint project between Co-op Live, Manchester City Football Club (MCFC), TfGM and Manchester City Council (MCC), it has been designed to create a vibrant pre-event experience with proposed features including interactive lighting installations and busking spots for performances by local musical talent.
Co-op Live and TfGM will also be introducing a city centre shuttle bus service. The number of shuttle buses available will vary by event profile, with a maximum of ten buses per show. Buses will depart from Joe Mercer Way at the Etihad Campus and arrive at Piccadilly Gardens.
Including tram and shuttle bus travel with all event tickets will help to ensure fans can make a quick and easy getaway at the end of the night, whether they’re heading back home or into the city centre to enjoy further attractions. To claim travel across the network, all fans must be in possession of a valid event ticket, which they will need to show on request.
Fans will be able to access relevant event travel information on the dedicated page on TfGM’s website.
Commenting on the offer, Gary Roden, Executive Director and General Manager, Co-op Live, said:
“We are dedicated to ensuring easy and accessible transport links to and from Co-op Live and are delighted to be working with Transport for Greater Manchester to offer this inclusive service for our fans for opening season.
“Coupled with the planning application submitted for a new ‘CityLink’ walking route from the city centre to the Etihad Campus, we are further demonstrating our commitment to the environment by encouraging more sustainable transport choices, and providing additional neighbour-friendly options to support increased footfall across East Manchester.”
Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, said: “Co-op Live is an exciting addition to Manchester’s already buzzing music and entertainment scene and this travel offer will mean people off to enjoy a night out watching the biggest acts in music, comedy and entertainment can do so knowing they will be able to get there and back without any hassle.
“As we build the Bee Network we want to make it easier for people to make all kinds of journeys and this pioneering partnership between TfGM and Co-op Live is showing that in action.
“This is a big step to ensuring everyone can enjoy the city’s unrivalled nightlife knowing safe, reliable and sustainable travel is all part of the package and I can’t wait to get down there myself when the new arena opens in April.”
Fran Wilkinson, Customer and Growth Director, TfGM, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with Co-op Live to bring the people of Greater Manchester this groundbreaking travel offer ahead of the UK’s biggest arena opening its doors in our city centre.
“It’s vitally important that there are no barriers to people enjoying everything our city region has to offer and initiatives like this - together with our plans for a new walking route from the city centre to the Etihad Campus – demonstrate our commitment to a thriving night-time economy.
“This new offer will provide safe, reliable and sustainable transport to and from Co-op Live and I hope everyone gets on board as they head off to enjoy a show.”

Remember there is outstanding planning permission for two massive screens at the end of the two legs of the new development and one on the hotel

Requested planning permission rather than agreed, it could be awhile before that's sorted but they have to build the extension (and then the hotel) to hang them off first so there's no rush. It's going to be interesting how the COOP Live billboards affect the area shortly.
Excellent!! The wife has bought us tickets to watch The Eagles on 31st May, so we’ll be able to use it!!View attachment 110196

How does this work? Is it a projection or does it have screens integrated into the steps?

They're integrated into the risers are they not?
Not heard anything to say they are not and people I knew suggested a long time ago that the stadium would be led wrapped after the expansion was finished.
