New stadium

by Top Flight » 12 Jul 2016 09:08

Check out Orlando City's new stadium plans. It is a 25,000 Madejski Stadium style arena. I love the emphasis on atmosphere and crowd noise. There is a big safe standing section behind the goal.

As if someone's seen our stadium and decided to copy it. Besides, who's to say it's not in the style of Leicester or Southampton or Doncaster or Cardiff or Colchester...

Generic new build bowl? You obviously didn't go away last season.

I did, actually.

It's not a bowl shape as none of the corners are connected, maybe you didn't go?

Obviously it's not just Madejski style because there are many of these types of stadiums in the UK.

But, they seem to be building a purpose built, proper, English style football stadium with a similar capacity as the Mad Stad. I love the emphasis on noise and atmosphere and the safe standing terrace is great. This is how I would like the Mad Stad to be. The Eamon Dolan stand should be a safe standing terrace. Let all the passion and atmosphere come from the Dolan stand.

Aye. Unfortunately for you, there doesn't seem to be a forum for non-RFC football related topics.

Wait...

Would say it's old hat in that it's more like the new den with an attempt to fill the corners in with bits and bobs....

It's good to see that the MLS is becoming a serious league nowadays.

Orlando have sold out all their season tickets. All the clubs are well supported. The US has really embraced Soccer. The teams are very evenly matched. The league leaders in both conferences have lost and drawn plenty of matches. Anyone can beat anyone.

Weirdly there's a thread about the Mad Stad on Orlando City's forum.
