Found this at 442 with the comment under it "This is the model of the new Nou Camp stadium. It looks like a crap birthday cake to us. Where are the candles, eh? WHERE?" ;D

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, ba-zing. ;D On the subject of stadiums and modern architecture - I want to know what these crazed Eastern European architects are smoking/taking when they come up with these designs....... laced absinthe in a Bratislavan nightclub perhaps?? Honestly, I'd be embarassed if that new Nou Camp was my club's home ground. Some of the best stadiums in the world are relatively simple. Look at ours, it doesn't even have four sides!!! |

UEFA ranks it a 5 star stadium, meaning it is able to hold UEFA Champions Leagues finals. Also, the new expansion of the stadium plans to add another 10,00 seats to the stadium. |

Honestly, I'd be embarassed if that new Nou Camp was my club's home ground. Some of the best stadiums in the world are relatively simple. Look at ours, it doesn't even have four sides!!! foster and partners are a london based british firm. but i have to say i think the design looks teriffic. stadia often look completely generic from the outside. if you stand on the concourse at most grounds around the place there's nothing terribly distinctive. with this design, it won't just be inside the ground that you know you're somewhere a bit special, it will be everywhere around it, inside and out. i think there's a difference between 'complex' and 'bad' - you can have complex designs that are awful and conversely some simple designs that are terrific but the link isn't absolute. i think the seating areas of our ground are lovely but the concourses are too narrow, there are too few food and beverage stalls, there's too little cover from bad weather and acoustics obviously didn't even come into consideration. ...but our ground was built as a slap-dash effort on a tiny parcel of land nearly 10 years ago for $30 million compared to the hundreds of millions for this upgrade of an already state of the art facility... |

And that post is the reason you work in politics and I ignore it completely. You can spin like a mofo - a true stousher if I ever read one.

that's not spin - i actually believe it. my first thought when i saw the models was 'coooool'. ditto when i saw the allianz arena, a similarly, er... avant garde design. or the new anfield. don't even get me started on the new anfield...    these are clubs that can afford to do it though - they're gonna have big crowds and big noise (well, not so much noise at barca) and therefore big money, so they can afford to go for the big statements with their grounds. for grounds in the a-league (most particularly the new tard dome) i reckon we should have bloody simple but good flatpack traditional football grounds. simple stands, 'goalpost' rooves (full length rooves supported like goalposts by columns at the ends) and as much noise as possible. we've got too many grounds that are too open and you don't keep enough atmosphere in the ground. imagine say the northern end of CCS with a low flat corrugated iron roof that worked as a speaker cone to drive our sound out over the pitch. when we get our shit going well, the noise would be deafening. more people would join in as well, because they'd hear us more clearly. even better if it was standing room and you put as many voices as possible as close together as possible. we'd hear each other better as well, stay in time better, coordinate better and generally sound tonnes better than we do now. just the other day in the kendall the noise when we scored was crazy, and that was maybe a quarter the people we'd have around bay 16. i reckon the best possible million bucks anyone could spend on the mariners would be 1) a bar and food service area behind bay 16 and 2) a roof over the northern end. 1) we'd buy more food and beer and 2) the difference in noise would be phenomenal. |

What Dibo is saying is that we should have terraces in bay 16 and a roof over the home end with beer taps running from the bowling club directly into the bay. ;D
