Wonder how much it costs to make one of those seats, compared to you know, the contract cost... but effectively putting in 77k seats instead of 62k is probably going to be quite the cost for the manufacturer that fecked this up.
Levy probably got 50% off and will know demand a full retail price refund.

Think I read the seat contract was worth 10 million all in first time round.

Is the NFL logo, facing the wrong way, I though the East Stand was the NFL stand with larger changing rooms etc. Might be wrong.

TV coverage is shot from the west stand so facing the cameras.

moussa on coys, nothing itk here but interesting read:

dmb111 and I had a new WHL tour last night. How can I say this... WOW!!!

We went just about everywhere, all 5 levels, south stand, west stand, tunnel club, tunnel, boxes, press room, concourses and ran in to Mr Levy...

Cant express how amazing the stadium is! Its just a monster. The size of it is immense, the steepness of the stands are amazing, the closeness to the pitch everywhere you sit is really apparent. The screens - I cant begin to explain to you how big the screens are (even if they are mostly obscured by the roof when you are sitting high up - bit of a design flaw!). And the level of details that has gone into the build is incredible.

I have been asked by the club not to post my pictures, but there is nothing you haven't seen already anyway.

The thing that stood out to me the most is how intimidating the north stand is (south stand impressive too). And also just how steep, close and big everything is. It is going to be immense!

I did ask a few questions, mainly will it be done by 5 August, especially seeing as it didn't look like it would! Our guide reassured me. She said that Levy is very calm about it all. A lot wont be done by 5 August, like corporate areas but we have till September to finish these. Also, the workers are going to be cracking on with the outer veil, which they haven't touched for so long, in the coming weeks. She said in the last week alone, she has seen tonnes of progress internally.

There was also lots said about the logistics of handling 62k people in free-flow around the stadium - They are anticipating every scenario on match days in terms of crowd movements. They are going to have so many staff on match days, in terms of stewards, catering and bar staff etc... Everything is going to be super quick (for home fans anyway!),If you want a beer, one of the 1000 of staff will serve you quickly, the bottom-up filling cups will pour your beer in seconds and the cashless payment will ensure you are out before you can say I love Harry Kane.

There is a huge range of food outlets as you know, and there is complete free movement of fans, so everyone can sample everything, and from the thought that they have put in to everything, I honestly think they will be able to manage the crowd movement. dmb111 especially liked the 'Tap-Inn'!

The toilets are very nice too!

There's so much more I can say, it was just all incredible. I cant wait till the first game!!! COYS!!!!

Pfft, it's seriously affecting my calm ;p

Also, they seem to have wheeled out some of the pitch trays today and seem to be soiling them real good.

Third tray is coming out. Faster than I thought I'd be to be honest.

By my reckoning the stadium sponsor obviously cant now be AiA as theyd have done a new shirt deal and stadium naming deal at the same time.... has there been any talk of who it may be? This is where Blue from the old gaff was able to shed a wee bit of light on what I knew absolutely fuck all about. It has to happen soon, you'd imagine before the season starts so that we can be marketed more effectively to foreign and new fans.
