New seats vs faded seats
View attachment 172590

I prefer the lighter shade of the faded seats.

The seats at the Etihad have never been the right shade of blue.

That makes complete sense , but who knows ??

It's on the plans I think, I'll have a look when I can.

Edit: hmm, maybe not?

Would a control room in that corner of the stadium offer a proper view of the away section?

They'll use CCTV cameras and monitors for that.

The preparation for the screen in SE corner, lots of scaffolding and a number of seat rows removed contrast that with the scaffolding in the SW corner Think this proves that whatever is being built is not an additional screen

Looks like it could fit a multi-storey row of executive boxes in that corner all stacked on top of one another.

THat seems to be a very midlandsy ground thing to do rather than a nwest thing ( i know burnley do it )

I hope not.

I absolutely hate that.

You see that at some other grounds across the country.

It looks absolutely dreadful.

Reminds me of the San Siro and Luigi Ferraris from Italia 90

Or La Bombinera.

Todays look about, they have started on the remaining rail seats

Anyone remember a random Derby when they put United fans in the section below the control room between the North & Main stands?

It’s the new Gene Kelly standing stand. :-)

3 viewing platforms across the scaffolding.

I think the metal frames going in is for the glass panels overlooking the fan zone, now minus the badge. (I could be wrong)

You can see the thin metal frames in-front of the much larger steel cross supports in the CGI.

It's not a 4th screen its a control room being built to move the existing one and add a large hospitality box in its place.

Where is the existing one, and why would it need moved?

Won't be on the plans as it not North Stand related.

They would then presumably need to cover it elsewhere with an approval or an amendment to the 2014 approval which at the time would have included for a screen there. So far though not seen anything in the public domain.

Aside from the faded issue there are also different types of seats that make the color look different, padded seats in the corporate area and the safe standing seats. There is also a contributing factor such as different suppliers and batches so no way are they all going to look identical. Would also ask what is the Pantone of the blue?

SKY BLUE
PANTONE: PMS 292
HEX COLOR: #6CABDD;
RGB(108,171,221)
CMYK: (55,16,0,0)

That roof joining looks so ugly.

 

[Blueknows]

Anyone know what or why the reason to drop the badge from city square ?
