Nightmare Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think that was the point, yeah... I was never a fan of the Stade de Gerland. It's a fairly unique stadium, which is a bonus, but it seems like there's barely any incline in the seats. I much prefer to see steep stands, which imo make grounds seem a bit more intimidating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nightfly Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Atletico after what seems like an eternity have finally moved to their new stadium. Confirmed as the hosts for the 2018 CL final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks alright imo and better than just "completing the bowl" tbh. They are building that on top of existing stand. In it's baseball days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'd put Spurs down as a rebuild rather than a move. Had they played at Wembley last season and demolished the whole thing before rebuilding, rather than having the building work going on at the same time as the demolition, no one would suggest it was a move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Indeed. Shades of Charleoi during Euro 2000 when they had an additional two tiers of temporary seating, scaffolds and all, that were ridiculously steep at the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Sensible solution, IMO. "Downsize" to smaller capacity afterwards. e.g. Sao Paolo, 2014: Edited October 4, 2017 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That monstrosity would not get a safety certificate in this country. I'm amazed that FIFA has approved it but money talks very loudly in football! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) In both cases there appear to be access tunnels partway down the stand. Do we know there are only toilets and serveries on the ground, or is there any intermediate deck? There are monster stands here e.g. at Newcastle: Edited October 5, 2017 by HibeeJibee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I highly doubt the top half of the stand will be used, it'll be purely for number of seats. All the wee sweetie wives having a meltdown over safety can probably relax about the chances of folk plummeting 100ft 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
