North Stand Construction Discussion

When did the prototype look like the finished item

Prototype?

As HelloCity explained, it was just a one off trial. I thought the trial was pretty useful. There were some positives to take from it.

Again, going off the PA, sorry for constantly going off that, fans won’t be allowed to stand at the back of NSL2. I can’t remember exactly what is planned for the back of NSL2. Think it’s something to do with the hotel/guests? I‘ll dig out the docs this week showing the NSL2 seating layout.

It is but there’s a big gap and wall from the back of the tier seating to the hotel bar/ seating area if I remember correctly which I may not to be be fair.

Same here. I can’t remember. It’ll be in the docs somewhere. :-)

It wasn’t even a prototype.

A few people just went a sat near the back to see how the sound would travel.

I may chose the wrong word but how do you make a judgement about something about a small trial that apparently failed. Who judged how far the the sound travel and what equipment did you use to prove the distance. So you can't say it is not going to work when the North Stand is completed just on a whim of JRB. I think we used to make a lot of noise in the Scoreboard end And the Popular Side (Kippax Street Stand) before they were covered, more about the size of the crowd than cover. I wait the wrath of the usual suspects who think they own the club.

Why did it apparently fail?

It’s not a whim. It’s my opinion given what we know so far.

That doesn’t mean I’m right.

Believe it or not I‘m trying to play Devils Advocate. I want the new home end to work. To be a success. To be the best, loudest and most atmospheric home end in England and in the PL.

I don’t own a share of the club anymore, even though I’ve still got my City share certificate to prove I once owned a very small share of the club. :-)

This is what City should have been looking at doing for the NS expansion. Instead they decided to go in another direction.

As it was explained during last week's presentation, the goal is ”more tickets in the lower price segment”. With many young people in Frankfurt being eager to chant but priced out from the more expensive seats, expansion of the standing area is key both for a more vibrant atmosphere and expansion of the fanbase.

Currently Deutsche Bank Park has some 9,000 standing places, of which 7,435 are located in the lower north-west end (remainder in the away block). Demand is far greater and Eintracht is famous across Europe for the large fanbase of active fans. Once the upper north-west stand has seats removed and rows added, it will bring additional 12,909 standing places.

This in turn means Eintracht's standing terrace will reach 20,344 (covering all the space shown above), becoming the second largest worldwide, only behind Dortmund's Südtribüne (24,454). And Eintracht's representative did admit during last week's presentation that Borussia was somewhat of an inspiration for the changes. While in Frankfurt it would not possible to create a single-tier terrace without extremely costly demolitions, removal of skyboxes dividing the stand is an economically viable way to almost merge both tiers.

Off to cut the grass and to enjoy the nice weather.

Well said @jrb Pep wants atmosphere but the nameless execs seem to want to go the other way ....

people make the noise not the ground, look at the Dortmunds yellow wall what would that be like if it wasn't for the robotic Germans. Do you want to jump up and down like that for about 70 minute. The posnan only last about 2 minutes at the most.
