BRIGHTON | Falmer Stadium (The AMEX) | 22,000 >> 30,750 | U/C - Page 5

Which is Falmer similar to, internally, then?

Not sure about the Hull comparison. I agree in that it will probably be the stadium MOST similar (in the UK), but that's not saying a lot, with all the identikit bowls. It'll still be noticeably unique in its design. Far more so than stadium:mk.

The KC is far superior to the MKDons stadium, as well as the majority of other new grounds in the country, so if it is similar, or better, Brighton will be on to a winner.

This is the one you want. It's from the wrong angle, but you can see what it's meant to look like.

Schmeek · September 16th, 2009, 12:05 AM

Ahh, that's more like it - I can see it now! Cheers for that.

Awesome news guys, I am a student at the University of Brighton Falmer Campus, which is having a couple of buildings being knocked to make way for this new stadium. I will try to take photos for a monthly update.

Brighton are going to go from the worst stadium in league 1 to one of the best.

Small world, I lived on the Falmer campus last year.

Unfortunately there wasn't so much visible construction work going on, so you've probably timed it better!

League 1? Make that the football league.

Its good to see this stadium finally underway after so many years of struggle. Perhaps Brighton & Hove Albion should replace the seagull with a phoenix. Finally there is enlightened club ownership and management, and with that the team will once more rise up.

Some good photos there, the steal frames you going up have been lifted so quickly, feels like it was done in a day.

Here's a video I made today when coming out of the University of Brighton Falmer Campus where I live and study.

Sorry about the quality.

Absolutely superb stuff! Good old 25 bus, literally lived on that thing last year!

You can really see the shape of the stadium start to come together, with the low curve of the South stand, and the steel slowly progressing further towards the recently built East stand.

Technicalities · October 29th, 2009, 01:58 PM

Another video I'm sure some of you might find quite interesting..

Great video. Thanks.

Also the crane we currently have down at the site, which will be used to raise the arch (and roof) into position, is HUMONGOUS. Apparently there are only 4 as big, or bigger in the UK.

Credit goes to Everest off NSC for the photo. The arch(es) are also going to look fairly impressive once completed!

It is MASSIVE, will try to remember to take a pic if it, I see it on the way to my lectures, the thing is beyond words.

2005 · November 12th, 2009, 11:39 PM

Took some photos of the site on Monday.

Technicalities · November 13th, 2009, 04:12 PM

MAGIC! Top work, greatly appreciated.

gertero · November 18th, 2009, 07:22 PM

Hi everybody. I am a new resident in Hove, and I like football and stadiums. I am very happy with this proyect, and now with the new Manager Gus Poyet former uruguayan like me).

Who knows the final cost? Or the original?

redTom · November 18th, 2009, 10:57 PM

Former uruguayan? What nationality is he now then?
And you for that matter?!

Technicalities · November 21st, 2009, 02:48 AM

Cost - supposedly within the region of £90million.
