There is a link on the official site which gives a description of the plans, along with an artist impression cross section of the new stand. See link below:- New North Stand consultation It looks like your assumption is correct from the picture at the bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Anyone know if Villa Park tried to be a host for The Women's Euros? Strange lack of venues in The Midlands.

There's a lack of Midlands grounds and then also a disparity between the grounds, there's recording breaking nights at old Trafford but then games at man city's training stadium Its a bit weird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will make the stadium look a lot different. The current North Stand is quite top heavy, with the lower tier being really shallow and small. The Upper is a fair size but the stand is quite narrow hence the low capacity. It was originally designed for about 5k of seats in the upper and 5k terrace in the lower. Lost 2-3 thousand in capacity when made all seater in the early 90s. It is a inefficient use of space really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2022 Bruce Springsteen now playing Villa Park on Friday, June 16, 2023 so I guess nothing is happening before then. Can't remember what their potential timings were. There is obviously a plan to use VP for concerts in future. I wonder if the club has come to some sort of arrangement, this hasn't happened for years and now we've had 2 even if 1 was cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that was one of the reasons why construction would start in October? Seemed a funny time to close a stand two months into a season. No doubt this timescale will get pushed back a bit. I really can't see construction on the ground within 16 months, its seems a tad ambitious. Summer 2024 seems more realistic imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they put the stage in front of the North Stand it wouldn't cause much of a problem I'd have thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
