Guest bwfcdan Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Bored, thought I'd start one off. Anyway, first up is Atlanta's new stadium for the American Football and new MLS soccer team. Looks pretty smart, should do though for the cost. Going to be around the $1.2 billion dollar mark. Will hold around 65,000 expanding to 75,000 when required. 8/10.

Guest bwfcdan Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Whilst not a new ground, Marseilles Stade Velodrome has been refurbished for the Euro's in 2016. 3 sides have already been completed, the 4th and final side is almost done. Looks amazing to be fair. Will hold around 67,000 once completed. Interesting floodlights, kind of 'old school'. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COYW Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I saw a programme about the building of the Dallas Cowboys new stadium on Channel 5 last year. It holds 150,000 and has a massive screen that is almost as long as the pitch. All the behind the scenes facilities made The Emirates look like Gigg Lane.

COYW Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Interesting floodlights, kind of 'old school'. I'm guessing they're temporary. They'll probably be adding lights to the roof when it's completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bwfcdan Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Real Madrid are hoping to redevelop the Bernabeu over the next 3/4 years. Going to cost around £330 million apparently. From the current renders, I'm not that keen. 4/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Texas Motor Speedway is putting in a new videoboard - To be nicknamed "Big Hoss" It's dimensions are 214 feet long x 95 feet high For comparsions sake the screen in the Cowboys stadium is only 160 x 72 feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valencia's planned new ground is impressive on the plans but it has lay dormant for years as theyre skint, Mestalla is crumbling to bits around them.

COYW Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 West Ham's new ground with retractable seating. There's going to be a very big gap between the upper and lower tiers. The lower tier will be accessed via a bridge which will span the gap. They're incredibly fortunate to be inheriting a stadium in a setting like the Olympic Park. Can't wait until we play them there!

COYW Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) 60,000 seater too. They'll never fill it. There's talk of them giving away free tickets to local schools and offering the bigger teams double the normal ticket allocation. They'll probably be able to offer fairly cheap season tickets as well since they're practically getting the stadium for free. You can see why Barry Hearn is concerned about Orient's future.

Valencia's planned new ground is impressive on the plans but it has lay dormant for years as theyre skint, Mestalla is crumbling to bits around them. This article was from November last year. Looks like they're going to try to finish off the new ground, but just on a scaled down version to the original design. http://m.espn.go.com/soccer/story?storyId=1616276&src=desktop Edited April 10, 2014 by bwfcdan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bwfcdan Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The new San Jose Earthquakes stadium, due to be completed in 2015. Folk of WWays may like this one, it's going to hold the largest outdoor bar in North America. Will hold 18,000 on completion. 5/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc505 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Theyve had problems with their Ultras at San Jose, only just been allowed to travel to away games again. I didnt think there were away followings in MLS apart from the close derbies. Much prefer these smaller purpose built grounds for MLS teams rather than using the giant NFL ones. The Atlanta one looks impressive but it wont do when theres 13,000 inside it watching real football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
