sbnufc Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 So just removing the running track? Pretty much turning it into a football stadium from what it was. 78k to 81k capacity, plus corporate boxes as you see. Closing it in too if that makes sense. If you look at where the back row of the top tier meets the roof on both pics you'll see what I mean. I think they've done a great job in keeping the stadium shell as it was but completely modernising it at the same time. West Ham should have done something similar but I suppose they're not/werent allowed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Needs to be over 80,000 to host the WC final IIRC too. The stadium external is a superb. Not sure they have listed buildings in Russia but if they do I'd be surprised if it wasn't hence why they're doing what they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We promised to make it a footy stadium, then upgrade Crystal Palace to be the premier athletics stadium. Now it looks like CP might end up being demolished.

It only had one end (the one closest to camera was temporary) http://squashmad.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/manc2002.jpg They added the other end and dug down to add a 3rd tier/pitch below ground level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Good effort. Man City and Moscow are both great illustrations of what's required to turn an athletics stadium into a proper football stadium. And it ain't easy, or cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Sunday's match between Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton will be the final match held at a full capacity White Hart Lane. The club confirmed in a statement on Tottenham's website that in order to move forward on a critical element in the foundation of their new stadium, which is being built adjacent to White Hart Lane, part of the North East corner of the existing stadium will need to be demolished. The demolition is necessary to install one of the concrete cores that form needed "to stabilize the stadium structure." Because it sits within the footprint of White Hart Lane, and in order to avoid construction delays, it's necessary to close and demolish part of that corner. The work will result in 4000 less seats for the entirety of the 2016-17 season. Spurs are already in the process of notifying the 1800 season ticket holders whose seats are in the affected area, and have assured fans that those with seats will be relocated to equivalent seats elsewhere in the stadium. This is obviously not an ideal situation, especially in what is expected to be the final season at White Hart Lane before its full demolition in 2017-18. Moreover, the reduction in seating could put Spurs afoul of UEFA regulations regarding Champions League stadiums, which is one reason why Spurs are currently in negotiations to play Champions League football matches at Wembley Stadium next season. It also means 4000 fewer fans who can attend matches in White Hart Lane's final season, which is a shame. With a sizable season ticket waiting list and more fans who wish to attend Spurs matches than who actually can, it's likely that this will also affect the ticket resale market for Spurs matches as well. Nobody's happy about this, least of all the club, but it seems as though it is a necessary evil in order to debut a shiny new stadium in with a minimum of delays in two years' time. http://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com/2016/5/6/11605462/tottenham-hotspur-confirms-upcoming-partial-demolition-of-white-hart-lane-stand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 EVERTON majority investor Farhad Moshiri has a Blues vision which includes Champions League football and a new stadium. The self-made billionaire bought a 49.9 per cent stake in Everton in February. And chairman Bill Kenwright has revealed some of the Iranian’s ambitions. “Farhad absolutely has a vision for this football club,” he said. “It involves the Champions League and a new stadium.
