Stadium Redesign?

[Frosty Jack]

From the way they're talking, does that mean the one similar to the Reebok stadium design isn't going to be built afterall? would take a long time to draw up new designs wouldn't it?

They said they'd start building within 60 days, so if they're changing it, they'll need f***in' rocket-powered architects.

they were talking about 'fan experience' so it's probably internal design rather than anything structural.ie: number of coors light booths and burger stands.

they start digging a hole in 60 days, be a while before anything resembling a stadium emerges

I'm loving all the American jokes. Do we Americans on the board get upgraded to Owners now

If they're going to change the design in any significant way they have to get it re-approved and they will have to adjust any civil plans they had..

i bet £5 it has a Kop

[McBain]

The original designs are already about 5 or 6 years old. by the time they're built they'll be about 9 years old

 

If it's at all possible i'd hope they alter them. Even 5 years ago I didn't like the plans much

[Guest PaulMcC]

I thought the design wasn't finalised. Only how tall and wide the structure could actually be.

[honourablegeorge]

Exterior is more or less finalised, interior is limited by safety regs, but I think they can change it within that framework, sort of thing.

 

I'd say they'd be minimal enough changes, to be honest.

[magneto]

I'd like them to build a 120,000 capacity.

I thought Hicks mumbled something about using his experience to improve the plans within the confines of what was already agreed...

Which means we'll have the same overall design that was approved originally, but Hicks will make sure all the seats have a vibrate function and a coolbox in the arm rests - like proper 'muricans have. So that there is ample leg and belly room for all the stadium will be reduced to a 5000 recliner capacity.

I think the main thing is that wherever you are in the stadium, but especially in the pitch side recliners, you should be able to watch the game unfold on a giant TV.

something along the lines of this?

Yes - we've covered this before - as long as they stick to the agreed capacity, footprint, H&S regs etc, height and other restrictions, they can reassess the internal layout and most 'non-structural essential' aspects of the design. There's a fair bit of leeway in that.

and any new design would need to be resubmited for planning approval.

the big question is, will they have one of those men walking up and down the ailes selling beer, and how will he do it without blocking the view?

the designs aren't that old at all.

the 61,000 seater design is about a year old and its constantly re evaluated. i know the council wanted to add more bogs to it only recently.

We must now call seats 'bleachers'

They kept looking at that bloke who always seems to appear on the back of the LFC mag...

Is it an overhual of what was originally announced or just some tweaking?

 

Haven't seen anything released by the club that talks of major changes
