New Stadium Details And Discussions

Hasn't that gap always been there?

We may still pull it down that way - but I don't believe we've taken a section of the roof out have we?

Where's some ITK on the demolition method statement when you need it!

The video feed showed men up on the roof and a crane taking parts away.

Fair enough, I've not seen that.

It would seem to make sense to remove the roof in parts.

Removing it in parts? Boring!

I can't believe Levy rejected my plan of hiring a kaiju from the Pacific trench and going Godzilla-style on this stadium's ass.

He didn't reject it. He's just trying to haggle the price down.

I'll tell you what I told Mr Levy, my kaiju's do not work on credit...

I may have been wrong about the roof. Might just have been workmen up there doing something else.

I've asked this question elsewhere, but not had any replies...Do we have any idea of the proposed lifespan of the stadium?

As in when is it expected to fall down?

Well, I would hope it wouldn't be allowed to go THAT far.

 

[Sweech]

I like how it's not even built yet, but we already want it expanded.

@davidmatzdorf may be able to answer as I am now curious as well.

I've no idea. I'm not even sure what the question means. It's not the sort of thing you plan for. So much depends on macro-economic factors that are impossible to forecast 50-100 years in advance.

Who would have thought, in 1988, that every stadium in the top division would have to eliminate terraces?

It's not primarily about the building wearing out. That's subject to maintenance. It's about obsolescence due to changing regulations, expectations and culture.

A capital expenditure worth half to seventy five percent of the value of a LLC is expected to last indefinitely as it is something a company can not easily finance or replicate. Commonly available estimates of THFC's value are between one and one and a half billion dollars. The stadium is supposedly a half to three quarters of a billion dollar investment. This stadium will be the home of THFC for as long as anyone posting on this board will be alive assuming no drastic expansion of lifespan or change in the way sports are viewed.

Its really based on materials used I think. Lifespan of concrete is generally 50-70 years I believe if maintained regulalry. Steel obviously longer. Plus the foundations can play a part. Concrete buildings can go a lot longer if built on good foundations.

The problem with concrete is it actually dries out over long periods. You often notice on concrete the corners and pit holes are dusty and crumbled in appearance, and this is due to weakness after the block dries. The water is what keeps the shape and gives the enormous strength. This dryness can also lead to fractures inside unseen.

This is also a good reason to knock down 60s high flats, or replace motorway flyover support props. If you look on the underside of the m4 or westway they have huge nets to capture falling concrete.

Just seen that they have re angled one of the cameras on the live feeds so that we can see inside whl! Looks as though its progressing very fast in there!

Looks like the Paxton roof is just starting to come down...!
