North Stand Construction Discussion

I’m sticking a tenner on for this to win the Carbunkle Cup when finished. It really is an ugly design.

I’m not saying anything apart from the Redrock in Stockport has already won the Carbuncle Cup back in 2018.

The boxy structure, known as Redrock Stockport, was today announced winner of Carbuncle Cup, an annual award recognizing “architectural sins.” Designed by British architecture firm, BDP, the complex cost a reported £45 million ($58 million). It features a 10-screen cinema, as well as restaurants, bars and a gym.

I thinks that’s fair. It’s an extra 8000 seats. I did put ‘on a regular basis’.(not just for the big games)

The extra 8000 seats gives the club some wiggle room on ticket prices for the less attractive games, midweek games, and rearranged games, whoever those less attractive teams will be in 2 years time.

My only concern that after all this effort and investment the ground still will be to small.

70K would have been far better.

62K will be full for a VAST majority of games and I am amazed your questioning that JRB.

That's a shoe in for the Arena.

In a week or so that will be a year it has been in, and still without a recommendation or a committee date. The planners won't be that slow, they are either be waiting for further information requested i.e technical detail, or consultee responses, or both.

I agree it spoils the look of the original iconic stadium, the south stand fitted in well despite the corners There appears to be no symmetry which offends the eye. I do maintain that considering the cost of the two extensions, with so many compromises to extending the CoMS a new stadium should have been built

The Cube at NYCFC are seven stories high which is 70 ft tall and will bring millions of pounds in sponsorship because basically you can advertise anything on it.

These screens are 63ft tall according to the plans which will only be allowed to used on Matchday most properly because of light pollution

But if you changed the roof of fan zone so you could accommodate a Printworks style roof you could advertise in there for along as you want as there would be no light pollution, you could also use it for variety of other events planned for this area when football is not on to help create a immersive area for concerts and events.

It would become a destination for fans before the games.

Please see video from the Inspire Entertainment Resort in Seoul which is the same as Printworks but use some LED panels down the side to create effects also

Things dont have to be symmetrical but there are a lot of negative plaines..no amount of window fins will change that.

Particularly if they build it in yellow….
