CJGJ Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Perhaps we are trying to get something like this in the new stand They have been busy at the Etihad Stadium this summer. Tonight's game against Everton gives Manchester City a chance to show off the improvements they have made to the main stand this summer. This includes new dressing rooms...circular ones at that And, having had a tour on Friday, I can confirm if manager Pep Guardiola wants to get his point across, and stands on the City badge shown in the picture, his voice will boom around the room. And, fans who have shelled out for Tunnel Club hospitality will see the players as they head on to the pitch, and leave it for that matter - pay close attention if someone is unlucky enough to get sent off. At the end, they will even be able to watch them conducting their post-match TV news conferences. It is not quite as open as sports events are in the United States but is about as 'access all areas' as you are likely to get in England.

The way you first wrote it, it sounded like the Skyline was going to have two hospitality levels, but what you're of course referring to, is simply the stairway up to the top of the stand...which is, as far as I know, internal, offering no views, which is indeed a shame, if that's the case. .

Darkwhisky7 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I am pretty sure they are stairs to get from the Sky lounge into the stand itself, in other words you leave the lounge, go up the stairs and there are entrances at the very top of the stairs straight into the top of the actual stand. Fans will make their way down to their seats for the game and then at half/full time will head back up the stairs from their seat to the top of the stand and enter the stairs back down into the Sky lounge. Its an exclusive entrance to the lounge from the top of the Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, earlier plans appeared to show that they could also be accessed from lower levels in the stand, so perhaps upper row patrons in the central 4 sections, not necessarily using the sky lounge, might access their seats from these stairs too.

Perhaps someone ITK can confirm. (I guess it has to be Thomaso!). I don't know for certain, but the fact that we can only see 2 of these staircases from all the photos of the development so far leads me to believe that it is an exclusive entrance as you would get hundreds of fans trying to get down these stairs at full time causing horrendous queuing and delays for people exiting the stadium and punters trying to get back to the Sky lounge all at the same time. I could be wrong though, hopefully Thomaso or someone else will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon a couple of coffee/barista stands would actually do quite well. The better stadia in Australia have the same approach - but we can have outdoor seating areas etc. because we sell better food, beer and we have warm weather - all of which are things that Scottish football is not blessed with. Outside the grounds we have activities for the kids (and not just face-painting shitey stuff, but real fun stuff like playing football, having a session in the cricket nets, beat the goalie, or whatever it is for the relevant sport). In the USA I have only gone to sports events in LA, Dallas and Chicago (Chicago in the summer) - and again all of them had the weather to make the day out more enjoyable + tailgate parties in Dallas. I'd like to see what the colder places in the US do in the winter months. There is a reason in Scotland we normally just go to the pub before the game (to keep warm and drink), go to the game, leave at the end (because there is nothing to do at the stadium) and go back to the pub (to keep warm and drink). All in all, in my opinion we need: warmth, drink (and maybe some food or something fun for the kids to do). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
