Will there ever be big screens on the south stand corners or will that never be possible?

Did you look at the last page?

The plan was to have a screen in each corner some while back but it might have changed think the SE corner has the Ardwick Pub seating

Ardwick seating would be below any screen, which actually looks like it’s about to be installed. Fingers crossed.

Great work ssskies. Impressive equipment. What are the specs of your drone/camera?

Hopefully they do SW as well

Thanks "HelloCity" it was a weird flight as the controller was different to what I was used to and was trying to test some features, shows the roof at a different angle on the southstand.

great video. what's the model of the new drone? I assume DJI from the start up beep

Hi "rowarta" it is the new DJI Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo package. Very first flight, no testing so ultimate test flying around a stadium. Cheers

Serious piece of kit and investment.

Prep for a screen?

Screen being installed, going to be some massive scaffold build over the next few weeks if they are taking out seats.

one of my builder contacts said that it's just this corner as something else is happening in the other corner a new box or something like that

My OCD is going to be absolutely wrecked by 4 corners and 3 screens.

Thanks rowarta, that's why my previous drone is up for sale, to part pay for the new one. Cheers

It'd be great once it's finished if City then somehow worked on making all the corners seated and turned the etihad into a bowl type shape stadium. I'm sure they've thought of it and I'm sure it could be done.

The corners can’t be fully developed due to the cable net which means they won’t be developed until the sides are expanded. At a minimum, that’s probably a decade away - if it happens at all.

1. What does GA seating mean?
2. How will rain water run off the new stand as it slopes downwards towards the pitch?
