North Stand Construction Discussion

[Ban-jani]

San Siro is an old run down stadium not fit for the modern day. Seen a few vids and photos on the facilities and how bad they are.

Thought these were sneak previews of the new North Stand for a second.

That’s the Cross Bar GA+ bit as well.

 

[Corky]

That's great

The obvious concern is that people/fans will apply for season tickets there because they are cheap and not because they want to sing and to create a better atmosphere. How the club stop that is pretty much impossible, sadly.

That is a reality. Got to ten list the rest, and even if hardly any sell it is still a very good deal.

Are there likely to be lifts/escalators in the new complex? And will fans who sit in the North Stand be able to access their seats from the new complex without going outside again?

I only ask because me and my mum have sat in the North Stand for years but it's getting harder for her to do stairs now she's in her 60s. They didn't put any lifts or escalators in the South Stand, did they? If I remember rightly.

If there was a lift or escalator in the new North Stand that could get us up to the 2nd/3rd tiers, from where we could find our seats, that'd be much better for her. It'd be nice for her to look forward to.

We don't know yet, unless somebody on the forum can answer those questions for you?

The South stand has lifts.

There should be lifts. I doubt there will be escalators, but you never know. Escalators are prone to breaking down, and they are a nightmare to fix.

We'll probably find out at the test event.

There will be loads of pictures and videos posted during and after the test event.

There will definitely be at least 2 lifts servicing the sky bar but whether these serve the new GA seats is doubtful/unclear

I’ve been on a tour of the San Siro in 2015. It was amazing what a shit tip it was. Imposing but a shit tip.

Coming out of the metro station walking towards the ground was a crumbing concrete hellscape that literally looked like something from a nuclear apocalypse horror movie.

There are two passenger lifts either side of the new stand, behind the new stairs. And a goods lift on each side too. Separate from the vip/skybar dedicated lift.

I'm not sure there's going to be panoramic views over the city centre either.

I think he was saying from the skybar though, rather than the end of the claw suites.

(Awaits picture from the skybar ;))

It was in response to a post about the penthouse.


I think you can see the city centre from the Sky bar too though.

While we are at it. That shows they stuck with the glazed balustrade on the office terrace, but changed it on the hotel. Which is why it looks fine on the office but clumsy on the hotel.

Said something very similar today, Commercial looks much better, but there is lots more privacy on the penthouse.

People that hire penthouses aren't after terrace privacy.

If I was guessing I'd go with their reasoning was largley more structural anyway, because it was built as a concrete upstand.

"I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an 'Escalator Temporarily Out of Order' sign, only an 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.'"

Probably charge more for people who want to sing.

If it means you can't see Piccadilly Gardens, shirley that's a bonus?
