rubecula Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 dunc it could have plastic whistling pigs but a track ??? I can not see that, as moving the fans away would ruin the atmosphere before it gets off the drawing board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think if it has a track facility it'll be different from the Etihad and the London Stadium in that it'll be designed as a football stadium with the facility for a track to be laid rather than designed as an athletics stadium that can be converted into a football ground. Don't ask me how this would be achieved, presumably the stands would have to be somehow movable; anyway I'm not too worried about it personally. Â Another thought, there was a permanent dog/speedway track around the old Wembley pitch and the atmosphere in there wasn't too shabby.

Meis has previous experience of designing stadia with movable stands to accommodate different functions. I wouldn't be suprised if this is the case here. To cater for Football (primary), athletics and other functions (secondary). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Even if they design it so that seats can be removed to lay a running track, there will still be a significant gap between the touchline and the crowd, (see London Stadium). A 400 metre 8 lane running track takes up a fair bit of space. Hope it never happens. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Wembley had about 100,000 capacity though didn't it? Â Indeed but I don't think atmosphere is just down to crowd size (eg the Emirates is a church most of the time with 60,000 while Selhurst Park can be a cauldron with 25,000). rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'd have no problem at all with an athletic track if it means the price is subsidized and there's the possibility for generating extra revenue going forward (concerts, etc.). There are several ways to accommodate a track without affecting the atmosphere of the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
