New Stadium Details And Discussions

[DanielCHillier]

Does anyone know whether the waves are finished look of the stadium or is there another covering to go on when the roof is installed? It is not clear from the renders I have seen of the finished stadium

Waves?

Not sure either, but I assume the gaps will be covered, doesn't make sense aesthetically or from a weatherproofing stand point if not.

Have they started installing floodlights as well as the screens? There seem to be some on the south stand.

Yes, it looks like it. Some were definitely spotted on SkyscraperCity a little while ago so they have definitely started adding them.

As I understand it from the plans my company put together, yes, these gaps will be covered.

There are some tabs / fixing points between each eave which suggests that something will be attached to them.

hard to tell, but the "tabs" look like that is where the eaves are attached to the stadium structure.

Or a Gary Glitter comeback night at the new lane

I hope that pitch is retractable

The eaves were attached to a sub frame that was then fixed to the cranked steels that were fixed to the compression ring. Those tabs are more than likely where the capping strips will be fixed in to.

Put the pressure on trophy and now this! What a time to be alive.

That 1000 ton crane cant work at windspeeds higher than 10ms (iirc), maybe a bit of a delay with the Skywalk lift, was only supposed to be here for the duration of this week and for that purpose only.

Cracking crane knowledge!

We need to talk about those eaves....

I’d happily take playing in the stadium in it’s current state than at Wembley.

Love a good rim.

You’d think if it was a concert it would have to be announced pretty soon. Big artists normally announce 6 months in advance. Unless it’s a one off maybe Adele with her Tottenham connections and be great PR.

How about the guy from the Go Compare advert....?
