with fans in it - looks awesome

without fans - the corners feels lacking

Some people are never satisfied ! :-D

60,332: The Etihad’s Highest

Yesterday Manchester City’s final home game of the season saw the Etihad stage its record crowd for football (any sport actually). It was also City’s highest home attendance for 54 year…

The view from the 3rd floating tier. (the first picture of the view)

From the Upper Brook Street Car Park.

Talk about after the (test) event. :-)

The pictures have been broken down, so it isn't one long picture post.

Anybody who attended the last game in NS2 tell me what it was like getting out? We’re in 315 SS3 and it’s a PITA at full time

Seriously thinking about trying to move when the window opens

The fan zone, walkway, and steel roof supports.

 

[jrb]

Turnstiles, entrance, and stairs.

 

[jrb]

Level 1 concourse, 1st section.

The doors leading to the stairs.

Self-service.

The food and drink bars.

Part of the concourse, and the view of the city centre.

 

[jrb]

Level 1, 2nd section, and the toilets.

Seating and the stairs to the stand.

Luckily, nobody was in the toilets when I took the pictures.

 

[jrb]

Level 2 concourse.

It's huge and really impressive for a football stadium concourse.

The pictures don't do it justice.

 

[jrb]

The tier and the view from it.

Looking up and across the tier.

Seats and safe standing seats.

The padded Hotel balcony seats.

Your executive, padded stadium seat will be located on your own private balcony outside your room on Level 4 of the North Stand

The views from the tier.

For those of you thinking of relocating to the safe standing section.

The view from pretty much the back of the tier.

1st picture.

The walkway leads to the roof walk.

OK.

I know the stand isn't finished yet.

When it is finished properly, it will look great.

It was a rush to get the stand ready for a safety license and the Villa game.

I'm sure all the work on the stands, concourses, etc, will be completed properly before the start of next season.

But there are a hell of a lot of snaggish and finishing issues across the tier and courses.

To be honest, some of the workmanship is pretty poor.

Just a few examples I picked up on.

I could have taken plenty more pictures.

The Guy working on the statue at height isn't wearing a work helmet and also no scaffolding, pretty dangerous if you ask me.

What's the event? Looks like an Oscar!

Just shown my H&S consultant son and he
confirmed it’s all wrong, working at height should be a platform or scissor lift he said not too concerned about hard hat as there is no work above him, looks like he is wearing something though Issue with the step ladders is they could easily tumble despite them being held at the bottom Madness as there must be pant on a the site they could have used

These dark navy seats look shite and spoil the look of the entire internal bowl. The new padded seats on the Sky Lounge are all in light blue so why can’t these be too?
