Like how you've added something meaningful to the thread. Does it matter what it looks like, it is an old stadium that is being renovated at least it has history. Where are you from probably America where there are huge monstrosities of grounds.

The mods need to do something about people like imbee and others on here. It's no wonder so few bother posting now in this section of the forum. Ah, the old days on here without trolls like imbee and Axelferis.

Forget imbee... should be on a site dedicated to six yr olds...
Anyway. Im not sure which way this stadium faces, but if they have got it right, during mid day matches hopefully this design will allow a lot of light into it. From the picture tho it shows shade with the sun behind the main stand (not what u would want), but we obviously dont know what time of day this impression was modelled on. It's unusual, but quite pleasant on the eye..

The virtual "camera" in the last render is facing South-East - the stand on the left is the North Stand.

Axelferis · February 7th, 2011, 07:19 PM

it's obvious that money leads the design...in this case

Luka Loopy · February 7th, 2011, 10:49 PM

I think this is a tidy little stadium. Its not going to revolutionise stadium design, but if its a choice beween this and the bog standard one tier bowl typology seen up the road at the walkers stadium I know which one I prefer.

Absolutely agree with you - the same can be said for the likes of Thomond Park with the two large side stands and lower terraces. The thing I particularly like in both are the terraces in the lower tiers (I assume they're terraces anyway in the three stands opposite the larger one)

the stadium is completely amazing from a crap stadium where everyone was and now into a big grand stand how about going around the stadium building huge the seat cap* will be around 50,000-60,000..

I've lived in Leicester, and believe me, there is barely enough space to build the proposed 30,000-seater, never mind anything bigger. The stadium has two major roads at either end (one being Welford Road itself), a car park behind the new Caterpillar Stand, and a college and car dealership behind the remaining stand. The site is landlocked. Even if that weren't true, the cost of building a 50/60,000-seater stadium is massive, and there definitely isn't the demand.

but it amazing

Maty Imperial · March 16th, 2012, 03:22 AM
