New Stadium Details And Discussions

I don't care what the sponsor is, as long as its the superdome.

Tallest in Europe apparently.

I'd heard that but didn't realise it was that big. Could watch the game from up there.

Not the Thunderdome?

I am optimistic that whoever it is they will be aware of British football fans' sensitivities and it won't be anything cringeworthy like 'Field'. Will be 'stadium' or 'arena' I reckon.

After committing all that money the last thing they will want to do is shoot themselves in the foot and damage their own brand.

Well using "arena" would certainly not be American as they don't really use "arena" for outdoor stadiums in the US. Arena usually is used for small, indoor venues that host hockey and basketball.

I'm sure its just coincidence, or just me lol but to me the new west stand entrance don't half look like an inverted Nike logo.
Gets my coat......

I think it has to be an actual dome (New Orleans Saints)

I can't believe how huge it looks, I'm guessing the pictures don't do it justice. Can't wait to see what it looks when i visit the bastard

We've had more than enough roller coasters there over the years thank you very much !

31 Stadiums:

17 "Stadiums"
10 "Fields"
2 "Coliseums"
1 "Center"
1 "Superdome"


The last stadium to include "Field" in the naming rights was in 2003. The last seven that opened, are all "Stadiums"

Though - in most cases, the "Field" was replacing an iconic "stadium" and the naming rights partner probably wanted a clean break from the old name...

You been staring at the Yellow Wall?

 

[Grey Fox]

I'm often found staring at walls it's an age thing

Funnily enough it actually looks bigger and more impressive than I had pictured. I guess it's all a matter of perspective (both in terms of expectations and how/from where you view the thing in reality).

It is a bit deceptive as it is a shallower rake than the top tiers of the other stands but it's footprint is huge in comparison.

From the other end of the stadium it looks 'small' as the curved slopes have much more space than the other corners. Think once the corners are finished it will look better.

I'm quite tall

The view from the paxton camera shows what looks like steel terracing being installed at the front of the stand. Does anyone know if this is indeed an extension to the stand to take it to pitch level? Its been hard to make-out the levels up till now.

The Levyathon surely.

When’s this roof lift start or has it started?

Monday is the latest estimate, but no one can be certain.
