Am I the only one in thinking this Re-vamped ground looks naff. This can't surly be the end product, it looks pants.
It's for the commonwealth games and probably won't be used too much afterwards, probably perfectly adequate

The temporary seating is not ideal, but it will serve a purpose, there is no point building a 60k stadium with no end user, I think its a sensible approach. The redevelopment of the area is much needed, a damn shame the athletes won't be staying in Perry Barr in the village as it wasn't finished in time.
I guess 60k is way to big for an athletics stadium, so unless it has a use after (Man City / West Ham) it has to be much smaller to avoid being a waste. Maybe there's some temporary stands to be erected just for the games???? The BBC article mentions the cost - over 700m pounds to host the games (?) - crazy moneyI was expecting a lot more, I'm thinking about Manchester City's ground which was purpose built the last time the Commonwealth games was hosted in the UK. I think that held 60k.
This looks **** poor to me unless I've not seen the pictures of the final product.
Is it open seating at each end? I thought this new stadium was going to be the home of British Athletics.

Opening ceremony time! Looking forward to this.
Sure you know this but covid and subsequent delays had a big impact. Also the fact they originally where planning to bid for the next games and stepped in to replace South Africa, it’s not a surprise they did not finish. Massively over budget alsoThe temporary seating is not ideal, but it will serve a purpose, there is no point building a 60k stadium with no end user, I think its a sensible approach.
