I can't seem to insert an image of it from the arsenal site, but i was wondering whether the clear space under the roof of the new emirates stadium is empty space or glass. If there is going to be nothing there then i imagine it would be uncomfortable sitting near the top with exposure to the wind. I think it looks like glass on the picture which would be okay but can anyone verify this? Thanks. This site has a clear picture of it.

Two condradicting views. You mean the space where all the wind would be sucked in over people is clear? If this is true it would be very bad planning. The reebok stadium is not enclosed either and a few people have told me it is uncomfortable sitting near the top.

Looks like glass to me but I'm not sure.

From here it looks kind of obvious which bits are glass and which bits are going to be not glass.

The section will open to allow wind to come into the stadium to help the pitch with the glass section protecting the fans from rain and the strongest winds.

Thanks, that picture shows the detail a lot clearer. If it turns out like that picture it will be one fine stadium and it's about time a London team had a decent stadium for visiting vans to come to.

The proper thread for this has been lost. This is topped out now! Photos taken as I sped past on the train yesterday. A good view point would be from Ally Pally if anyone can get down there:

for the love of god, this is the 3rd thread dedicated to emirates stadium.
Glass or space?- What a great way to fly off on a tangent!!!
