100k is good but Ratcliffe was talking about making this the world's best stadium. If you want to future proof the status, I'd have gone with around 120k seats.
Nou Camp is 100k already I think, and I've heard they're planning to expand the capacity by a bit.

At the very least, I hope it's easily extendible without the need for too many approvals and other bureaucratic hassles.

I also preferred an industrial look but I guess most people don't.
100k would leave utd with the biggest league stadium in England by far, think spurs/pool at 60k and rest are 50k, so at least at a national level, we would be miles ahead of any competitors.

Would we sell put 120k regularly, maybe, but there's no doubt even at 100k it would be one of the best stadia in europe(atmosphere dependent) and we'd be in a position to host major finals again.

Ratcliffe was talking about us being the world's biggest club (which tbf we somehow still are) and he said we needed the best stadium in the world. The Eiffel Tower of England or whatever he called it.
Considering those statements, it's a bit underwhelming.

The minarets are an interesting design feature. When plan A goes tits up I guess the stadium design will aid a plan B sale to a sports washing Arab state?

Yeah, we’ll be able to look down on them from a great height…

Chatgpt generates images now. I wanted the United stadium to have an industrial look, like these.





The second one is a bit over the top but I'm not an expert at generating images.

I just said add streaks of black in one of the images which was a bit too plain and it came up with that.
I suppose it has the red devils vibe but I really wish the club went with the industrial type look but with modern features.
It probably wasn't practical. Even if it was, I've not heard others want something similar so it's probably just me.
