What do you think? Personally, I don't like it at all. |  |

Soulless bowl.
The small dips at the 'grandstand' ends of the end-stands look like they're trying to detract from the bowliness of it, but aren't fooling anyone.
They gave up a lovely characterful stadium for that!?
Oh, and the multi-coloured seats intended to disguise poor attendances are fooling nobody. |  |

Shame, I thought it looked cool on the outside from the original mock ups. |  |

Have watched its construction from passing on M4 from a demolition site to whatever stage they were at late March.
I like it, but more individualistic than identikit stadia out there....
What exactly do people want from stadia to make them acceptable? |  |

I read the other day in the last 4 or 5 years they have brought in 64 million pounds worth of profit from transfer dealing.
I suspect a chunk of it will go towards the stadium without knowing the ins or outs of their business.
That's incredible for a club of that size and surely a model we should be looking at if replicated, that would stop Evans having to invest at his current levels each year and is surely the way to go.
It's obviously very easy to say we should do it but harder to implement but the evidence is there that it works. |  | | |

Reminds me of the Keepmoat combined with Ashton Gate.
It's a no from me, although I hate Griffin Park to be honest. |  |

Decent location not to far from the old stadium.
And just one tier allowing for a much better atmosphere, what a shame we didn't think about that 20 years ago. |  | | |

From memory it's a really odd shape because it's crammed in to a plot that way, and they seem to have used that to get away from the bowl feel. My cousin lives just up the road so I looked at it being built last couple of times I was down there.
It's really weird seeing a tiny little club like that having a boon whilst us and Sunderland loll about in the gutter. |  |

I didn't realise that about the plot shape. I thought those stands just reduced in height, although looking at an aerial view I can see that they taper in depth as well. | |

I might be wrong but I seem to remember standing at a high point looking down on it and being really baffled how they were going to fit it in. I presumed they have had to upgrade access and redesign plenty. | |

Doesn’t look great which is a shame as I remember seeing the plans and while ago and it looked quite impressive. |  | | |

The worst new stadium I've seen. Griffin Park is class, this is terrible. |  |

The main stand reminds me of Orient's (which has a healthcare facility in it's arse, which is a nice touch imo). |  |

Doesn't offend me as much as it seems to the rest of you. There's some strange isolating of little pockets of seats going on though. |  |

To be honest, I wouldn't dislike it so much if it was replacing an absolute dump. Tearing down Griffin Park, on the other hand, to replace it with this seems almost sacrilege in comparison. | |

Tbh I’ve seen a lot worse! It makes a pleasant change to see a new ground that ISNT the soulless
“ bowl” shape. |  |

What's with the multicoloured seating? It looks sh1te and should not be embraced in this country. |  |

It's designed so that empty seats don't look so obviously empty. | |
