You know, with all the debate that surrounded this stadium, I forgot just how fantastic it looked.
Thank you, Jarbury for reminding us what we all that fighting was about!

This is from the design docs to indicate a vision for the area rather than actual developments ...

You can imagine the roar from the crowd on this pic
![]() Just wondering if they aren't going to get massive problems with dust from the quarry across the road. It could play havoc with the roof potentially

Some renders here show the trusses above the ETFE (Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) layer, which is how the stadium roof is styled now. Forget the early views with the trusses inside the roofing system.

From the CST website:
The material proposed for the roof cladding is a transparent membrane technology, formally known as Texlon. Texlon comprises several layers of a space-age thermoplastic called ETFE that will be clamped to the roof structure and then filled with low pressure air to form large ‘cushions.’ The resulting ‘cushions’ are extremely strong and stable, and will allow large amounts of light – particularly in the photosynthetic UV light range – into the stadium, and therefore allow both the grass to grow naturally all year round and provide a sheltered venue.
ETFE is a close relative of the common compound PTFE – also known as Teflon and shares many of the same properties. In addition to having a ‘non-stick’ surface that will keep it clean, it has an extremely long lifespan and is not affected by salt water, acids, alkalis or other solvents present in the environment. Items of interest:

ETFE has a melting temperature of approximately 260°C...
Hmmm. At the stadium plan change hearings we were told by one of the DCC expert witnesses that if put under high heat the ETFE will not 'melt' onto the crowd - rather it vaporises. |

I'm trying to be an optimist but the proposed cost may be optimistic.

There is an Extraordinary Council Meeting for the DCC this afternoon at 3pm. Here's hoping the contract gets signed today ...
