New Coventry stadium (UK)
http://www.arenacoventry.com/press.asp?page=press46
a link to pics of Covernty City FC's 3/4 completed stadium to replace Highfield Rd.
I think it looks v.similar to Reading's Madjeski Stadium or Southampton's St Marys...either way just another one of the new Bowls.
Anyone have thoughts on the UK's Bowl trend?

They are economical and easy to manage (I assume) but devoid of character.Simmo79 wrote:Anyone have thoughts on the UK's Bowl trend?

Are architects lemmings??
I loved watching british football on TV, not just for the matches but also to see the differences in stadiums, the old style character of the stands, the variety of stands at a single ground. Now the stadium's are just mass produced, sterile, boring stadiums. No character whatsoever.

yeah but 100 years ago i bet people where moaning about all these new football grounds having stands built and no being able to stand on vast grass banks anymore.
also with bowl stadiums you can't see outside the ground...eg highbury, you can see a house when a corner is being take at the north bank end of the ground....now.who lives in that house, it's bugged me for years and why NIKE haven't painted a big tick on the side of it, cos it's prime advertising space
