ponsaelius Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It's a completely new structure internally, they've just retained the facade and cover for architectural value. Brilliant effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 http://www.kumb.com/story.php?id=131616 Just hearsay...for now. That stadium is becoming more and more of a joke as it goes on. The whole Olympics was just a big dick waving event for London, billions spent on temporary structures and a half built stadium that had no real plan of purpose afterwards. Meanwhile elsewhere in the UK you have city regions begging for funding to keep the public transport running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Atlanta United's new shared stadium. I should love this stadium, it's new modern, has a funky roof opening thing. But every time I see it both inside and out, I want to through up, so soulless and so ugly. Of course watching the Bama destroy the Seminoles there last week didn't help, I'm a big Gators fan but have a soft spot for all the Florida schools and can't abide Saban and Bama.

I don't think the Spurs bid was ever serious. I think it was just them trying to get their local council to support it and to push them into pursueing a CPO for an industrial unit that stood in the way. Even if it was serious, their bid involved in a total demolition and rebuilding of the Olympics stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's an American football stadium, but my favourite (aside from SJP) is the Lucas Oil stadium. http://www.walterpmoore.com/sites/default/files/styles/img-project-slider/public/imagery_20/Imagery/%21Best%2009454_066.jpg?itok=hxzCz1Nt&c=a208e4e1fe84355e13f40bcaa8ee5fc2 http://derrisbell.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/tom-strickland-indianapolis-colts-lucas-oil-stadium-indianapolis-indiana-lucas-oil-stadium1-640x500.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm watching the Vikings right now, I love a big glass roof me like. I dislike most modern stadiums but there's something about playing football in a greenhouse that appeals to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was serious their bid involved in a total demolition and rebuilding of the Olympics stadium. that'd make sense. No, I think it was serious at first. Levy's no fool, he knows what a great opportunity it could have been. We have been consistently held back by infrastructure issues when looking to increase the size of White Hart Lane, and Stratford had the transport links etc in place. We just recognized that trying to shoehorn a football club into that stadium wouldn't work. The offer was to revamp Crystal Palace as the premier athletics venue and build a proper football stadium at Stratford. When Coe et al decided that they'd much rather make some money themselves from Crystal Palace (https://insidecroydon.com/2014/10/15/lord-coes-company-behind-plans-to-bulldoze-athletics-stadium/) and West Ham's "plan" was preferred, Levy just wanted to make sure that the structure of the deal was such that West Ham wouldn't be quietly given the Olympic Stadium some time down the line - the "athletics legacy clause". I think his original bid was serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Personally don't think it looks so bad. Can definitely see the Emirates comparisons mind.

ponsaelius Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 But it just looks like the Emirates, is in the middle of nowhere and that bowl shape is a killer for atmospheres. The Calderon had a fuckload of character and was in a city locale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
