Again - no data to provide proof of this turn away from corporate boxes.
I'm not saying it's not happening, but people cant just say it and hope to have credibility.

The changing face of venue hospitality - International Venue Management
Times are changing in the world of corporate hospitality. The traditional corporate box at a stadium or arena is giving way to more casual dining experiences. Shared spaces are the theme. This seems to be a global phenomenon and it's as true in the US as it is Europe. New baseball parks in the US

If anyone pressed me on it I'd provide it or say I dont have any. There's be an answer at least.
It's not a moot point either. There's a stadium being built here which includes some corporate boxes, maybe a mistake has been made in design?

Can't be BMD, mate. Dave said nothing was happening down there.

Pretty sure the phrase "premium seats" was used when the seating plans were unveiled. How many, not a clue.

I didn't say there wasn't any progress, I asked if there had been much work done and whether there was time lapse video of it.

Yes - including a 'Tunnel' club where you can see the players walk by as they go on the pitch.
There is also proposed lodge seating (armchair type seats) and then thousands of premium padded seats that have access to the hospitality lounges. As Tom has validly pointed out we have less boxes than most, but as said that is kind of dying out for the informal (& cheaper) settings.
There will also be space to add more boxes/lounges as not all the space between the tiers is being utilised. Of course if we don't sell out what we have then there is little point. So good to start with a base amount and see where we go.

It certainly is a valid point but you don’t think the stadium will be built due to lack of financing, so why are you interested ?

Where have I said I hate this? Safestanding was discussed extensively at the consultation and on various forums since. None of this is new information.
However, it was a slightly contentious issue at one of the consultation stage workshops.... People posed several questions about the proposed capacity, asking why it wasn't 60k etc as voted for by most respondents. The spokesman said after doing the modelling of people-movement access/eggress/circulation, the site was considered a tight fit for just 53k nevermind 60k.... (It was unclear if he was referring to transport modelling) Obviously the next question was how then will we ever get to 60k even with safe standing? Which made him back track saying 60k should be ok too..... he may have just fluffed his lines under pressure, who knows? Of course the next question was along the lines of what if legislation stops at 1:1, or at say 1.5:1, whereby you would need 14k rail seats to reach 60k capacity (with 39k seats). It was also noted that the club chose the absolute minimum tread depth for rail seats at increased ratio (I can't remember if that was 750mm or 800mm to give 750 clearway)..... which is slightly surprising if we're chasing the highest ratio possible. So yes, there will be some future-proofing if increased ratios are allowed and are sufficiently high. If not we'll be stuck at that capacity or will need to eat into more seated sections to increase capacity.
