Your Own Stadium Design

Letchworth AFC

A new team has been set up in Letchworth, which has applied to enter the non league pyramid at Step 6 and has had it's application accepted on the basis that its ground is built in time for pre-season. Building works commenced in the summer on the new stadium, which had been built after being given a grant from the Letchworth Heritage Foundation.

The barriers and pitch were used from the original youth setup, with a new stand, clubhouse and floodlights to be built around it. Fencing would then be put up so the club could charge entrance to the stadium.

The new capacity of the ground was planned at 500 seated, with space for another 500 standing around the perimeter fence.



The next step was to put in place the foundations for the main stand. The main stand would be situated at one end of the pitch (along a longer side) with the clubhouse right next to it.





After the main stand had been built, the foundations for the clubhouse went in and the seats for the main stand were ordered. 536 seats could fit in the new stand and they would be blue to match the clubs historic colours.



The floodlights and seats were put in just in time for pre-season and the club were accepted to Step 6 of the non-league pyramid.

Something like that, but with a shape like the shape of arena!

[Kaijday]

I agree. The way you currently plan to do it does not match the arena at all. Looks like the roof of a larger arena added to that!

And the interior of the stand

[ressy14]

you mean concourse? like this: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/1504/sonstige08q.jpg
coz i haven't made it. There are just pillars behind the stands (except the stands behind the goal lines).

what do u want to see? the main stand's facade isn't finished.
i want to make 4 stadium lights to the corners; subs benches and 2 parking areas.

i agree, i'd say let him finish it before criticising, could end up being a great stadium

I should elaborate further - you end up with more space in the corners, where things such as merchandise/club shops, restaurant, bar, child-minding facilities, toilets or whatever can go, without making the concourse restrictively narrow. I used the same basic design for my ARENA project last year, links http://pompey2j.blogspot.com.au/2011...ng-nicely.html, http://pompey2j.blogspot.com.au/2011...ena-issue.html, http://pompey2j.blogspot.com.au/2011...ena-walls.html, http://pompey2j.blogspot.com.au/2011...na-update.html, http://pompey2j.blogspot.com.au/2011...rtainment.html, plus more.
