Stadium Thread

It's a statement, I suppose, but it doesn't look like it'll age well to me. There's a sort of 80s big hair and jacket sleeves rolled up to the elbows equivalent feel about it somehow. Not a look you'd imagine will be making a comeback any time soon.

I dont like it. I think its awful. That said, at least it is a statement and not just a generic bowl.

As much as I love our development, Id be lying if I said I loved the looks. So far as generic bowls go its a good looking one, but thats not the same as "good looking". I love what it is more, the thought that has gone into its development and the approach to it. The Kop, the bar, the retractable pitch, the skywalk, the all-day attraction - all that is what appeals to me. From the top it literally looks like a toilet seat. I suppose at least that cant be said of the Vikings development.

It reminds me of the Jawa sand crawler from Star wars.

At one point it also made me think of this:

Levy's yacht.

(or is that a submarine??)

Its a stealth boat in the (I think) American navy. Looks like something a bond villain would have, so I wouldnt be surprised if Levy got one.

Pretty cool stadium. It cost $1.1bn and took 3 years. This site is worth a quick look

The former, but no matter how many times i see it i can't help but think it's the latter.

Just like the wall/lake photo

Hah! Thanks for posting this. I remember seeing something like this at the south coast of Sweden as a kid, but didn't figure out at the time what the hell it was.

I think we could have done something with the screens and not just jumbo trons lumped in the corner

A wraparound screen above the stands like this would’ve been cool and might’ve helped persuade bands to have concerts at our gaff, rather than the other stadia in London...
