First off, it wouldn't cost £150 million. Secondly, nobody is claiming every seat would be at £300 (if anyone is then they're idiots). The return on costs won't be purely down to selling season tickets in it. Sponsorship and other events will bring in additional income.Investing £150m in a new stand to then charge £300 season tickets for an Elite team is never gonna happen. Would take 100 years for the stand to pay for itself at those levels.
It’s delusional to think City will offer tickets for £15 a game for a whole stand to see the best team in the world.
And as was mentioned earlier in the thread - if in some fantasy utopia land City did build a new stand and offered tickets at a level similar to what non league fans pay - then all that would happen is existing seasoncard holders would move and leave their more expensive empty seats empty.
No doubt that existing season ticket holders would move there but absolutely zero chance that the expensive seats left empty would remain so.
