Possible new stadium - some interesting information

[masterwig]

I have just had a thought. The stadium could conceivably hold say 70K seated but when some of those seats are converted to standing (as seen in Germany) the capacity could rise by thousands because of the extra room it would create. I reckon I have cracked it.

The stadium (would have to be new) would be built with the ability to be converted to standing when extra capacity is needed/standing is allowed in England. Dortmund's capacity goes up 15K when the seated areas that can be converted are changed to standing.

If ADUG think we'll ever get 100,000, they haven't done their homework. We'd never get that, ever, no matter how succesful we are. Infact we'd struggle to fill plan b, (72k), in my opinion. If they want a bigger stadium make COMS 3 tiers all round and if they want a 'wow' factor, decorate it with tinsel. I can hear the slaggings off from EVERY club in Britain if a 100k stadium was ever announced to be a firm plan.

Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. Expandable from 80k to 100k with a retracting roof.

That's one serious f*** off tv too.

If they want a wow factor, replicate this stadium with this tele and put half-time porn on for the boys.

If there is some secret stadium pm's going round I'm more than happy to exchange your information for information I have concerning someone I saw yesterday at a potentially career altering location near Stretford ;)

 

[Why Always Ste]

ADUG want something iconic, something eye catching that people can affiliate Manchester with.
COMS doesn't provide this, a 100k stadium won't always provide this either, the bigger doesn't always mean the better interms of iconic architecture.

ADUG want the corporates, the people who may not be City fans but want some form of entertainment for themselves and their customers, COMS doesn't provide this at the scale inwhich they want it.

A iconic structure that held 15,000 would look more immense than a building that held 150,000

I'm not saying they wouldn't build a 100k stadium but they'd rather build something under 80,000 that is more eye catching and has immense corporate facilities.

I can see them building something new....
