That would be very very nice

My first post was meant sarcastic. Would be great if it ended up looking like that.

2028:

it will take 3 years to colour it in?

Just realised you'll be able to swap seats with someone you know to a completely different stand for a game or even at half time, seeing as the concourse on a given level lets us have access to 75% of the GA seats. A good chance to see a few different views inside the new stadium.

ya wha?

 

[davek]

Give him 2 billion he could have done that.

Doesn't cost that much.

No idea realy but he must have had financial constraints.

He's compromised at every turn. No principles whatsoever. Always pacifying the client.

For £700M we could have got an iconic stadium from HKS.

As it stands we have a very striking stadium roof + a world class location.

This could have been a hell of a lot better. It's not an act of betrayal to say that either. You have to speak your mind on these matters.

Utterly livid that the Stadium you said would never happen is nearly done.

Frothing.

Like the good old days you'll be able to swap ends at half time (to a degree).

I've heard that was the case in the mid 60's. I was in nappies at the time. Must have been great.

I'm not livid. Far from it.

Take a look at my comments about the stadium setting and how this build looks from some angles. It's going to be difficult to screw up the look of a stadium at the water front, and for that reason it's always going to be a very striking stadium.

But I've always been consistent in criticising the hybrid nature of the design. That futuristic roof does not blend in or compliment the industrial architecture of the stadium walls.

That's why I think we have to get the lighting on this stadium perfect. We need to claw back some of the lost ground Meis settled for.

I hope one day they remove those lights and put LEDs behind the barrel cladding so that it can all light up. Still, looking amazing and what a step up for the club.

I was thinking that, but as it's metal sheeting I don't think that would give the effect you're after. It would just create lots of coloured dots rather than lighting up the whole thing

I think the lights are actually better as they are in terms of position, but the beam from them seems to be too narrow. I imagine that will be quite easily changed

 

[davek]

Honest to God, the extreme reaction from people if you express any view other than ecstatic reverence for this building is off the charts mad.

 

[wearethefamousefc]

Agreed on this, it would be even better if it could all light up like the Allianz Arena.

That stadium is covered in a translucent material so the effect is from internal lighting shining through.

We need external lights shining onto the surface, which we have. I hope they are able to fine tune them

Pots and kettles Dave. You're the Leonardo da Vinci of "extreme reactions"
