JT24 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Just now, LFEE said: https://archive.ph/D1ivB Quote Newcastle Confidential can today exclusively reveal the first image of the club’s ambitious plans for a new super-stadium in the city. The drawing, one of two obtained by Daily Mail Sport, was produced by KSS, the architects leading the project, and shows a cross-section of a new stadium. The bowl-like design has two tiers and hints at a bubble-wrap facade, like Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena. A second working drawing was so detailed that we have agreed not to use it, for the blueprint revealed the exact layout from an aerial vantage and could compromise a future development. Sources have stressed that both architectural images have been updated, and that plans have since evolved significantly. That, however, is a strong indicator of the club’s preference being a new-build. Following the Matfen Hall summit in front of PIF last month, it is understood chief executive David Hopkinson and chief operating officer Brad Miller were sent away with clear instructions from the Saudi owners to return with specific information on both a new build and a St James’ Park renovation. PIF did not make a definite decision on which option to pursue, but a new stadium is said to appeal to both the executive team and the ownership. The drawings, and the subsequent improvement and development of them, show the extensive and detailed work that is going into exploring the new-build option. Leazes Park remains the most likely site were that to happen, with a capacity of at least 65,000. That was the number thought to be attached to the drawings we have. The birds-eye view shows surrounding parkland and there is a hospitality entrance and designated hospitality area within the stadium on the halfway line. The project – new-build or renovation – has moved beyond the exploration stage and, while supporters and some inside the club were hoping for a clear direction of travel post Matfen Hall, work is intensifying to provide ownership with the specific details they need to make the call that will shape the future of the club. Meanwhile, the announcement of a new £200million training ground at Woolsington is expected in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 In the article he claims that the plans have moved on from those designs. The 2nd photo isn’t shown as he says it’s too detailed to be shown. Says that it’s in a park surrounding and heavily hints and the location being in Leazes Park which I suspect is what is too detailed to be shown.

Lazy and wasteful use of AI from whoever did this. the diagram in design in the article is a quickly done longitudinal section drawing, it doesnt shows us anything about the exterior design.

Danh1 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I have said on here many times don’t want to move. If we do though, I have warmed to the idea of a design similar to the Allianz Arena. Think inside (not been, but from videos etc) it is far more imposing than a lot of the other new builds. Shame we’d lose that tremendous view you get from level 7, and also would hate for it not to tower above the city akin to SJP. All lit up, visible from miles away, it would look class.
