New Parramatta Stadium Revealed

nine news said we are getting european styled terraces, safe standing? i doubt it but you never know

You would hope a bit of common sense might prevail to take the opportunity to build a dedicated football stadium with safe standing

The video showed a VIP parking area bahind the western stand so you'd have to assume the corporate facilities would be on the west side.

 

Either they're showing the angle of the sun in the morning or the architects have an alarmingly poor understanding of how sunlight works.

The convention for showing shadow in architectural drawings was to have light coming from behind/above to the left at 45 degrees.  Its only in the last few decades since the advent of CAD that realistic shadow has become used.

Posted this article in the other stadium thread.

Now we just need to get it from 'safe standing section' to 'safe standing stand / terrace', the aim should be to have the entire stand from corner to corner, front to back as standing.

Attention to detail in the animation is impressive. 

Notice the obvious drop in crowd volume when they switch to the Eels home game.

:rofl: :popa:

Quote from A-league Live

"Western Sydney are set to get their long-desired A-League safe standing section after it was included in the final plans for Parramatta's new stadium.

...

But it's also understood the club have been told their request for a section of safe standing seats behind goal has been approved and will be implemented."

How many people do you reckon think the "Kop" end will hold? I'm guessing like 8k.

Don't call it that

Holy Cow!!!

What an amazing Stadium in that video.

It's that really for us?!?

Christmas has come early this year.

And what a present we will be getting.

Even if the reality is only half as good, it will have exceeded my expectations 10 times over.

The Cherry on Top would be if they make it easy to upgrade in 10+ years, when we need 40,000+.

Finally a modern sports Stadium for the people of Western Sydney!!!

Kop Kop Kop

Just rewatching the video, my only gripe (and it's small), is that the stadium isn't enclosed at the ends between the roof and the seating. Meaning noise from the RBB can escape out the back below the roof. It'll still be amazing, but if it had trapped all the sound in it would be truly epic.

Many many UK football grounds had a 'kop' stand, not just Liverpool. Most grounds were built around 1900 when the battle of spion kop (big hill on the battle front) took place so the clubs named their big terrace behind their goals 'kops'.

Liverpool's became famous, but far from unique to them

Couldn't care less if it is called a kop at our place or not, seems to be a word that has caught on around other stadiums in Europe, especially Germany because of Liverpool.

Here is a picture of the kops last stand at Elland Road Leeds just for Lloydy

That's the ventilation area so the flare smoke has somewhere to go

From the Lend Lease media release:-

 

The $300 million stadium redevelopment project will bring Western Sydney a brand new rectangular stadium with all 30,000 seats under roof cover, plus an additional standing area with 1000-person capacity. 

http://www.lendlease.com/-/media/llcom/investor-relations/media-releases/2016/20161208_lendlease-to-deliver-western-sydney-stadium.ashx

I assume the standing area referred to is the areas in the western grandstand not safe standing but it does take capacity up to 31k.

^^^^^ There was mention of a platform in the focus group meetings, located under the screen that could be used for watching the game.

Just remember that it was mentioned by a recent discussion from twitter that safe standing would always be regarded as 1:1 as opposed to 1:1.5 as we were hoping.

Thank goodness they are putting some safe standing as well in the stadium. This stadium is going to be awesome. 

What's a corporate hospital suite? Lol

i love how ******* salty eels fans are that the video mostly showcases us

our stadium now ****ers

Safe standing reported but The Word Game too

They say it will be done in 2019. Is that enough time to build a stadium in Australia?

Then again, if it wasn't planned and they have confused it, it might ramp up the pressure to include it!

• Decent roof... CHECK

You sure that's Leeds? They all look well behaved and paying attention to the game !!

The kids were so excited when I showed them the video of the new stadium.

Until they asked 'But where's the pool?'.

Followed by 'Where are we going to have our swimming carnivals?'.

i love how ******* salty eels fans are that the video mostly showcases us

 

our stadium now ****ers

 

 

Yes alot of unhappy peeps....at least theres a few that have a bit of perspective about the whole thing but alot of whinging about the Red/Black bias of a single promo video...

Followed by 'Where are we going to have our swimming carnivals?'.

Has anybody heard if the planned move of the pool to the old Parramatta Golf Club will happen?

All I've heard is that a replacement pool will be built on the next couple of years. Current one looks a bit dated anyway but the Govt could have done a better job of selling that idea and not piss off the residents.

Just tell it to them how it is.... no more swimming carnivals, no more Parramatta pool, its over. I hope that this pool protest thing doesn't go on too long, can't stand the whinging. Just **** off to another pool and stop getting in the way of progress, get the bulldozers revved up and roll on in.....

Tbh would you want kids in a pool which is going to get covered in dust maybe asbestos?

Safe standing gets the go ahead. Wonder how many bays in reality.
