My guess is scaffolding and another big screen will be going up in that corner soon. Otherwise it’s gonna look odd with just one corner with no screen.

Yes, seats are missing, I sit with mates in block 220, second to last row. They did mirror those in the SE corner where the new screen is going, are we losing those seats under the screen?,
There are pubs in those corners, hence the seats.

What if they was to reinstate the 1100 or so seats that was lost to the double advertising boards?
You would have 1100 extra seats
I wonder if City will be using Resuflor HB high build epoxy floor finish on the new concourses?

The Etihad Stadium used Resuflor HB as a flooring solution for a tough bright floor finish to concourse areas providing anti-slip performance and cleanability.

without diverting the thread, as a compare this is latest Camp Nou construction video . The thing that amazed me is they plan to have first Barca fixture back at the stadium on August 10th 2025. No sure on Spanish H&S protocol whilst stadium under construction

So many of those are not going to happen. That Leicester stand was proposed years ago, since then their owners seem to have lost a bit of interest in the club, and they have been relegated to the Championship twice. That Millwall new stand looks great, but again it’s an old concept that I...

I wonder when the new seats will be available from?
I imagine there'll be a time when it's "finished" but yet to be signed off, but they probably need to know before they do the ridiculous "let's sell all the games at the same time and throw people with 1000s of loyalty points into the same lottery as people who couldn't find Maine Road on a map" thing they like to do these days for those of us without season tickets. (Not that I'm bitter or anything.)
Unless they just release them in a separate batch once they're sure they can sell them. Actually it's probably that isn't it?

I think it was around 1500 they removed as Capavity went down from 55060 ish.
Then they added those seats (about 160) in the corners.

As I remember, the seats in the South East and South West corners were added at the same time as the South Stand was extended. And they also dug down and added some extra rows at the front which were subsequently removed when higher advertising hoardings were added.
Whether or not

Forgive this not being a technical construction contribution. But, as a pen pusher not a builder, I was at CO-OP Live on Sunday night, and the whole thing just looks huge, particularly the hotel, which looks at least the size of The Lowry. Queueing up to get in there were a lot of people staring somewhat in awe and asking what was being built. It makes me more confident than ever that the club know we are getting exonerated, because it is a massive investment and project. The likes of which you don’t start if you are genuinely concerned about potential sanctions.

I moved to 105 row 1 and was there for a couple of seasons until they were removed. There were pros and cons in sitting there. You could get drenched and you had to check the weather so as to know whether to come in your rain-proof trousers.
