That amount of Tarmac isn’t going to resurface the area around the North stand, Joe Mercer Way, and the rest of the Etihad Campus.

Couldn’t see where he was putting it but he was doing it by wheelbarrow and shovel

Thinking of the last major outdoor parts to be completed. The roof walk will need some heavy duty lifting cranes, would imaging in two parts with the bridge between the quad pods being done from the square before the roof is fitted. The other major part of the sky walk, being the platform at the pitch end of the roof, was thinking this may need to be lifted from pitch side? Last game of season is May 24 the first gig is June 11th so not a lot of time, maybe they will only need a week? If they start pitch protection straight away then bring in the sub assemblies for lifting into position then final fitting on the roof.
The square roof can be fitted as soon as the square is clear
Any thoughts?

The area around the stand, including the square, is going to be properly paved as part of the new development.

Guessing they’ll put a temporary tar mac surface down until the end of the season so that they can do the test events and Villa game.

Fingers crossed they’ll do Joe Mercer Way once all the construction has been completed.

They have concerts on this summer so they will have board's on the pitch. Not looked up the dates of the 1st concert. I think they will have a crane on the pitch and in the square.

The screens looks ok

I expect there is a height difference because the club shop is on 2 levels, so this will be higher, with access to the terrace via the club museum.

The hotel restaurant is on level 1 above Market Hall, so it has an indoor /outdoor terrace there to help cater for people who want to eat outside

A shame there isn't more City branding on it. Look at Hill-Dickinson with the Large Everton badges and the nicely done personalized brick surrounding the stadium.

Na, they are both the exact same height off the ground, it's the hotel vs office proportions that vary it.
