Some pics here….Thanks for that, and as I haven’t followed it, this is new to me.
So just had a look on the map, are they gonna build it on the same site as/alongside the existing Citi Field stadium then?? Can see any other space there.

No time for them as a club, but i imagine it will be an incredible stadium when its done. It looks like it will be huge when you see how big they are building up around it.
Just an example showing that some developments are, or partially are, just covers rather than totally new constructions.
The newer stands at United for example still have a lot of old workings underneath which is one reason why they want to develop a new stadium - there’s only so much you can polish a turd after all. Anfield will be in the same position in 20 years time.
It's becoming more and more common even in new buildings. Build something simple and basic and then just stick a shell or wrap around it to make it look modern and quirky. I'm not sure Anfield will last 20 years either, the stand they've just done already looks shite!
Would still love City to do something to modernise the look of the side stands. The South Stand looks smart enough, but a bit concrete and grey on the sides. Not sure we'll ever expand them because of the logistical issues, but we'll see. More about how functional it is and what it's like inside.
When the pitch is stowed it is in an air conditioned environment. Also equipped with LED and Ultraviolet lighting.It’s impressive what they’ve done with Madrid’s stadium. One observation is the pitch was awful last week, Pep highlighted it after the game. You could see big yellow lines where the joins in each segment of the pitch were. It’s got a new roof but you can get round that with artificial lighting, wonder what all the building work has done to the ventilation that the pitch gets?
