MySpazz Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Would love a new ground. Think McD is tired, and it's not a modern stadium any longer. Football has developed so much. Imagine a stadium with a retractable roof? Why not? Multi sports? Put the new ice rink there? New swimming pool? Big fan of this wee ground , love the look of it https://gotevent.se/en/our-arenas/bravida-arena/ ANY NEW GROUND MUST HAVE OUR ORIGINAL FLOODLIGHTS!!!!!

Just have a permanent roof over the stadium and you completely eradicate any issues caused by rainfall, snow, frost etc. Believe there are a few grounds in Scandinavia like this.

RandomGuy Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Think the smallest one in Norway, with a permanent roof, is 15,000 capacity and cost €65m. A stadium in America simply added a roof to theirs and cost around $20m. Know the chat might not be totally serious, but interesting how much a permanent roof pushes the price up.

Just have a permanent roof over the stadium and you completely eradicate any issues caused by rainfall, snow, frost etc. Believe there are a few grounds in Scandinavia like this. I may be wrong but I think there is a type of permanent roof over some stadiums which have slats (similar to venetian blinds) which open to let sunlight, daylight and rainfall in when the stadium is not being used. This type roof would also save on the cost of undersoil heating. The groundsman, of course, would still be watering the pitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne Saint Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I think we're barking up the wrong tree with opinions on retractable roofs/ fixed roof... I wouldn't be surprised if they put in the dreaded astro turf.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitchy Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Very surprised that no names have leaked yet. They perspective new owner/s were apparently sitting in the directors boxes at the Ross County and Hearts games with Saints scarves on! The only thing I have heard is that potential owner is "one of the top lawyers in the states". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware of the names and having done some reading up on them all sounds pretty positive if it happens to go through, which it looks like it will. garydavidson and Aitchy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
