This stadium rocks

Looking at that video I hate the outside but love the inside. If they could make it look a bit smarter from the outside, and a bit less "villa park" then I'd be happy with that. You need to imagine a huge dominating Kop stand at one end though.

This is what NYR is saying on YNWA now:

Strike that. No brick at all. The Kop is awesome. I'm clarifying what I can reveal.

It's like no stadium I've ever seen in my life. I don't know what to think.

[RedProf]

Take it that NYR is in some way related to the architects - sounds either fantastic then or very ominous!

I liked the Cloud thing that was going to be the 4th Grace but most people seemd to think it looked like a glass hamburger.

As long as I can afford to get in and watch the game , I'm not really sure I give a **** what the stadium looks like

NYR just posted, the new stadium will be similar to the new Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, pics:
Very 1920s retro-style:

Back to mini ST's: -

I understand the concerns raised by The Glove and I would certainly want the stadium to be full for every game but I think you've missed the point.

I'm saying anyone that has a full season ticket and wants a full season ticket at the new stadium gets one.

Of the extra seats that we have whatever allocation was going to be for season tickets we use to create the mini ST's so that more people on the waiting list can get to see Liverpool.

Any seats that they planned to be available on a per game basis would remain like that.

The problem of people only going to the big games is a ST ticket problem, not a mini-ST problem. Are you telling me that those people with full ST's go to all the small mid week games? Of course they don't.

I agree this is a problem and maybe we can find solutions for this problem but it's nothing to do with the idea of a mini-ST.

Regarding the specific problem you raise I think we need to have a standby policy, if you haven't showed up at the stadium 30 minutes before kick-off you lose your seat and it's resold to whoever is lined up at the ticket office waiting for a standby ticket.

If there are 5,000 empty ST seats 30 minutes before kick off you might decide to sell 2,500 standby seats. Then if any ST holder turns up late they need to go to a special line before entering the stadium and they will be allocated a seat which might not be their normal regular seat.

This would fit into one of the RTK objectives of getting people to go into the stadium earlier.

Anyway, I think the mini ST is a good idea and the problem of owners of all types of ST not turning up to the smaller games is a different issue.

Have you all been to Indianapolis? That building is a PERFECT fit for the downtown area and the architecture of the Midwest. It screams rust belt, but the inside is a state of the art football and basketball arena. The exterior is relatively anonymous, but that looks like a perfect building for Indianapolis.

I like all the HKS stuff and have every faith that they will deliver a unique, first class stadium. If people bothered to look at their website then you can see that they are excellent at what they do. Just IMO of course but it's bound to be far supperior to the other design we were going to get.

The guy is very relaible.

Think he knows one of the ppl that designed it.

He also said on the stadium:

Stunned. Very futuristic.

The question is - just when do we get to see these plans?

What I'm confused about is that the 1st set of plans cost x amount of money. Is it now beyond doubt that those plans have been completely binned and HKS have started on a clean bit of paper? If so how much more would a state of the art futuristic looking stadium cost, compared to the budget of x that the 1st set of plans would cost?

Is it not more a case of the stadium plans being tweaked so we'd stick with the same design but improving it here and there?
