If the concourses are being expanded on the N & S stands, the roofs should be higher to balance the new stand visually 

[Spudulike]

Open for public comments (4000 characters). Stand by for some shite nimby stuff. They'll be sharpening their keyboards.

I thought this! From the early pics it looked like they would put a carbon on the outside of the ground on top of the shell that’s already there. Promising because they may be able to extend on top of that…

[Stevosevic]

So glad they're covering the external of the stands behind the goals. 

 

Looks very league one today.

Target decision date 19th Jan '22.

Also there will be a sensory room in the new stand. Great news after reading that on what Arsenal provide!

Looks like they’ll be a fair few seat relocations from the lower east stand.

 

L1 and SK1 both remain general admission and the upper tier will be general seats too

 

Middle of the lower tier is all corporate above the entrances and normal below so similar to the current west stand

 

                           

[Spudulike]

Is there an area on Foxes Talk where the plans can be downloaded?

But if I went to the Emirates sensory room would there be much going on?  I sometimes worry that architects all read the same guff and meanwhile there are long queues at toilets and tea bars (not to confuse the two).... and post covid turnstiles

Woof

Wow that looks massive compared to the current stand shown in red.

[Lako42]

IMO it looks ridiculous from this view 

 

[iancognito]

That's a big-ass tower block. Looks like they finally made provision for the Bentley's Roofers!

SO MANY DOCUMENTS

[urban.spaceman]

Easy to miss tidbits, part 1

 

Match Day Use

On match days there is opportunity for events throughout the proposed fan zone, building fan atmosphere and excitement leading up to the match. These events will have an emphasis on sports/football based activities, and interaction with the club retail shop will be vital.

Non-Match Day

Further to its match day uses, there is an opportunity for the proposed fan zone to function throughout the year, creating an exciting new civic hub within the city. The facilities provided by the surrounding buildings allow the fan zone to accommodate a range of potential non match day activities, such as,

1. Sports Events

   • Street football

   • Basketball

   • Drone and robot events

2. Food Festivals

3. Artistic and Cultural events

   • Festival of lights (Lumiere London)

   • Diwali

   • Ramadan/Eid

   • Easter

   • Christmas Market

   • Ice Rink

   • Colour Run

4. Cars and antiques show

5. Exhibitions -Open Air

6. Exhibitions under temporary cover

7. Concerts

8. University events

9. Fashion and Textiles shows

10. Carnival

11. Marathon - Start and Finish point

12. Riverside Festival potential extension

Enjoying looking at all these documents, very detailed. 5 floors in total, a large corporate area although didn't notice any executive boxes?

 

Doing a very rough seat count I'd say its around an extra 8200, not sure if it says it anywhere in the document though.

 

Very impressive but looks like it doesn't leave much scope for adding a smaller tier in the North and south stands.

They said in the webinar that it would be under way during first quarter of 2022. The enabling works must start imminently although I don't think the approval has been formally announced.
