I’m all for a hover stadium or a sliding East stand though. The most disappointing option and would fuck the atmosphere at St James forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Forgive my ignorance, is safe seating actually safe standing with seats? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what it's like in Orlando: No seats, but there is only one spot for one person. They don't pack them in or anything, it just brings the energy up. Not sure what the laws are like over there though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clubs have it so the seat is locked on match days when you can have standing, others have it so you can just flip the seat down and seat if you wish. The latter is what SJP park, minus the cup holders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well devils advocate if you just do L7, and move all the east stand season ticket holders up there, and redo the east stand you could turn the whole east stand corporate and get most of the income. Swap season ticket holders paying hundreds for boxes earning thousands. Easiest way to boost revenue, as it’s the corporate option that is lacking compared to other grounds. You said you think a new stadium would be multi billions, that won’t get paid for out of season tickets costing thousands. It depends on what the Board decide the aim of the stadium is. Atmosphere or cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you think a new stadium would be multi billions, that won’t get paid for out of season tickets costing thousands. It depends on what the Board decide the aim of the stadium is. Atmosphere or cash. The East stand used to have boxes in it, and to be honest if there is 100+ companies on the waiting list for one, it still isn't going to put a dint in taking that list down, especially if the club becomes successful. With a new stadium, they will build a venue that can host other events, with a Gallowgate extension they are simply maintaining a stadium that hosts 19 football matches per year. In all honesty, the price won’t be an issue to the owners. The value of the club so far has already tripled since they came in. A new stadium, some success, the value of the club could triple again. Run NUFC right, and the club alone will have a £5bn price tag in the next 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing most modern super stadiums are built outside of the cities where there's more open ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
