New stadium

[lets all have a disco]

Lets build a big fooker like this,proper classic design big terraces masses of people.




Stick a retractable roof on it made out of solar panels to power it.

This is Capacity 78,741 im sure we could squeeze the extra 2k in.



This is the new one,which is top shit aswell. I like the classic design in a lot of NFL stadium.

We need a standing terrace behind one of the goals like this

Now thats a stadium for football Fidel, awesome sight. Closest to it in the UK for an end like that would have been the old Holte End at Villa when it was standing.

Tickets are dirt-cheap too, think a season ticket on the Sudtribune costs about 90 euro's!
Only problem is, you can never buy loose tickets for the Sudtribune. Last time I went, 2 Germans had to go in, one came out with 2 season tickets and then I could go in. If everybody does that, I suppose there could be a risk of overcrowding but nothing has ever happened so somehow they must have it under control.

If a Government would have the balls to bring in safe standing & we could adapt one end of our ground to be like that, with the players we can watch there now, it would be just like being in paradise.

A rule came in a few years back, where the was no more standing allowed in England!

Last time I stood up was at Stockport County years ago!! Got fucking soaking wet!!

I stand at every game.

But you have a seat to fall back on you little so and so ;-)

Im thinking of asking for some tools so i can take it out.

Its so 90's seating.

How about instead of building ours up we dig down again - a new tier all the way round and it would be closer to the pitch so a better atmosphere.

[Blue Blood]

i think we should just invest in increasing the capacity of our current stadium. i think it already looks the business.

more importantly i think we should level sportcity or whatever the reserve stadium is called and build one of these bad boys.



:D

Never mind expanding Eastlands.....let's build ourselves one of these badboys (the new Dallas Cowboys stadium)

Like Wembley, Cowboys Stadium was over budget (it ended up costing nearly double the projected $650m , and was partially funded by a half cent rise in Arlington sales tax), and is aesthetically defined by a doublearch design that towers 300 feet over the pitch. Unlike Wembley, however, the roof is fully retractable, and the world’s largest glass doors at either end zone can be opened up on particularly stuffy days. It currently holds 80,000 (10,000 less than Wembley), but will be expanded to a capacity of 100,000 in due course.

Ant...i work in Dallas a lot and checked this out on a recent trip. fuclin out of hand. most amazing american football stadium outside of the one the Steelers play in well because they are my team. But seriously, i hate and i mean hate the Cowboys, but theyve done the right thing with this facility. it's big time.

cheers

EDIT: changed "footy" to uhm er football so's this made some sense.

Apologies Piccs but I originally thought your post about building a new ground was ridiculous. (it still probably is).

I got to thinking...If we attempt to increase our present capacity, how many more will we hope to increase to? It seems a lot of cost for a little reward.
When City considered Hyde Road, with a capacity of just over 20,000, too small, they decided to build Maine Road. It was the original intention of designing it to eventually hold around 100,000 and be the Hampden of the North. A potential increase of capacity of almost 80,000. In a time when successful clubs were attracting around 30,000 at most, it showed a massive ambition and a lot of imagination. Maine Road hosted a gate of over 85,000 only around ten years later.

We are now the richest club in the World with the potential resources to become the World's best. With a little of their forebears ambion and some of their imagination, is it so ridiculous to consider a stadium holding 100.000. We are not building for today's market but for the market we could achieve in 10, 15, 20 years time.

How would we fill it/...easy....if money isn't a problem then reduce the ticket prices to a rate that is affordable to all. We boast we are the community club. A ticket price of £10 per match should sort that out. It is done in other countries...why not here?

I just don't like those American stadia at all - they've got no character and are ugly. Give me Eastlands any day - its a great stadium, that has potential for another 10-12k seats.

Far too small mate.

Mase,i like your style.

Looks like some big flash office block, no ta

[s1ty m]

westfalon stadium in dortmund, as pictured in this thread, is one ridiculously magnificent stadium.

i think dortmund regularly attract 80 or 90k as well. the deal for the world cup was that ticket prices would be reduced across the bundesliga and this has caused a surge in attendances across that league.

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

I think ours looks better than any in this thread.

All this about American stadiums being poor every single one on this page is better than 90% of the premierleague stadia.

Obviously in IMHO.
