New Stadium | 100k Stadium to be built - design visualisation released

[UnitedSofa]

Here’s the video!

A standard massive bowl in a huge tent. Concert venue with a bunch of chain stores and a huge court area outside selling overpriced food and drink.

Can't wait.

I actually don't think it's that bad from a design perspective

That being said, there's a lot that is still concerning. I'm a broken record on this but there's still feck all on how much fans will be charged.

I'd also argue that we need more around the ground but I'd agree this is not gonna be any good. This will just be a load of shite "street food" outlets charging over a tenner for a few bits of fried chicken.

 

[Dobba]

Get ready to Butlins!

 

[AaronRedDevil]

Damn it I was hoping they'd avoid the toilet bowl design. Looks like a damn circus tent aswel.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Hideous

 

[jojojo]

I like it and I'm not even sure why I like it, but I do. I reckon it's the sheer bravado.

It's certainly not anyone else's stadium.

I'm having trouble orienting it in the area though - I'm not sure what it's assuming as its footprint, with respect to the existing Old Trafford or the freight yard etc. I guess we'll soon see.

 

[Gaidal]

All stadiums are pretty ugly, especially new ones.

But i like the "trident" look of the spires, and the mesh is nice since its always raining.

 

[Solius]

I mean that's definitely different.

Looks like the Space Needle poking out.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

 

[Cutch]

Umbrella over the stadium should definitely help stop any leaks.

Looks class

 

[stevoc]

As sad as I am to lose old Trafford, getting 40,000 more fans in the stadium than any other club in the country is a pretty cool thing to have.

Basically the Emirates plus Villa Park every week.

We'll need a decent team playing decent football by then to fill it every week.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

With a new stadium I think we should let go of the Old Trafford name. It won't be OT.

New stadium, new name.

yeap I agree with this, 100% the stadium naming right will be sold for a huge number.

 

[CraftySoAndSo]

I'm all for a new stadium but that design is an absolute eyesore

Agree, not a fan. Wouldn't look out of place in somewhere like dubai.

 

[JonesyUk]

Sad day.

 

[kps88]

Why does the center tower have that little extra stuff on it?

 

[Sied]

Is the outer netting for Dalots crossing?

 

[youngrell]

Certainly striking. Think it will look much better from ground level. The outdoor areas look very good.

 

[Lennon7]

What about current stadium? Have they said what happens to it?

17,000 homes will no doubt include apartments. Can’t see why they wouldn’t make old Trafford in to a Highbury style apartment block, where water leaks are expected !

 

[Godfather]

Looks amazing

 

[stevoc]

Well it looks unique I suppose. I'll give it that.

 

[matt10000]

What about current stadium? Have they said what happens to it?

They are going to create a hologramatic simulation of the match being played next door so people can still watch from old Old Trafford at a reduced price.

 

[Dobba]

Why does the center tower have that little extra stuff on it?

It's a King Kong prevention measure.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

It looks beautiful inside.

Can't wait to see it once a year.

 

[Lennon7]

Would probably try and avoid paragliding in M16

 

[Spark]

Glad leaky roof was in the brief!

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Five years!

 

[Sied]

So how does financing this work in terms of PSR? Does it mean we can't sign anyone for a decade or are stadium expenses outside of PSR's focus?

 

[Vault Dweller]

I think that looks absolutely crap.

 

[LARulz]

Looks crazy at first from the outside but then when you see the inside it looks pretty cool to me

 

[WakeAndBeek]

Why are modern stadiums always so boring inside? They make the exterior unnecessarily fancy but the interior is just copy paste.

 

[acnumber9]

Ah, a stadium with no history. Can’t fecking wait.

 

[Lennon7]

It looks beautiful inside.

Can't wait to see it once a year.

Tickets are already right up, they are lying if they’re saying this will be affordable

Would expect a ticket with say a lower upper tier type view to be at least £140

 

[RonaldoVII]

Where does the £2b come from?

 

[LukeChadwick36]

Im horrified.

Looks like something a liverpool fan has asked AI to generate for us.

Laughing Stock FC

 

[OverratedOpinion]

Five years!

I wonder who in our current squad will play there.

Lindelof obviously, but who else.

I wonder if I can back an Obi hat-trick on opening day.

 

[Eugenius]

So how does financing this work in terms of PSR? Does it mean we can't sign anyone for a decade or are stadium expenses outside of PSR's focus?

Doubt the club will fund it. Will probably be a financial investor of sorts taking some form of equity/revenue sharing.

 

[Smores]

Yeah I'm not a fan of the external of that at all. The inside and plaza looks very nice but it's a bit of an eye sore.

 

[AdamColeBebe]

Looks like a fecking circus. Which is apt.

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

The inside and surrounding area looks incredible! However the outside looks like a circus tent, which is rather fitting given our current state.

 

[ItDoesntEvenMata]

Is the outer netting for Dalots crossing?

Elite comment - deserves more love
