Villa Park Redevelopment

[algy]

They need to make room for the Hot Dog concession.

And make sure the sidewalks are wide enough

[Percy McCarthy]

We've made some changes to the planning application apparently.

Again?

Yeah. Haven’t we seen details/discussed it on here? The Warehouse - 2,500 capacity, open 7 days a week. The planning app mentions the delay of Villa Live which I’m sure we already knew about, and the refurb of Stumps (The Warehouse), and says they’re doing it so they can crack on with the new North Stand quicker than would be the case if they were doing Villa Live.

I can’t think where I read about it if not on here, I don’t think it was on skyscrapercity,

Aston Villa plays its next game at Chelsea on 9/24

You had to take the joke too far, didn't you?

I'm not keen on the US date format but 11/9 wouldn't had the same ring to it.

[pauliewalnuts]

We've made some changes to the planning application apparently.

The removal of Villa Live, the location of a ticket office in the North Stand, the increased number of hospitality areas (probably including £500 steaks from that Salt ****** bloke), and the side entrance to the shop?

That was all in the update that went in last month, it comes up on the 28th of this month and is recommended for approval.

I noticed when I looked yesterday that the entire thing has to be completed by end of 2025.

£1billion?

The North Stand is costing the best part of £100 million

So 4 stands is £400 million, I am struggling to find a piece of real estate in Birmingham for £600 million.

Not just 4 stands though, is it? There's the pitch, offices, shop, car park, other buildings. You've also got all the infrastructure underneath the stand.

I can quite well imagine a new ground would be approaching £1b.

I would love the project if they were prepared to pay £1billion for it.
Everton is costing £500 million and it’s next to water.
Of course if you get HS2 in, it would cost 10 billion.

The Everton owner said total costs would be closer to £760m - for a 53k seater.

Spurs stadium cost £1b for 63k.  Construction started in 2015 and building costs are significantly higher, so to replicate that build would be far more now.

I'd imagine if we were building a new stadium (we're not) we'd want it to be 60k.  I'm not sure why you think with additional site assembly costs that Spurs did not have and massively inflated construction fees you think it's so ridiculous that a new stadium would be in the region of £1b.

Chicago - Chris is right.  £1bn is the correct number to be using if we want to start again.  There’s a shit load of variables but unless we get given the land in an area with unrestricted access then the costs of a 60k stadium will be closer to £1bn than £500m.

so you are reaching out and projecting the Everton situation is not a Goldilocks scenario. I think you need to acclimate the real world potential as well as discounting any down side variables. In the fullness of time the project  can have a soft landing as long as we have an off ramp to a better conclusion. From the get go we have been moving towards a sub optimal paradigm. It’s ok that you guys are not exactly rocket scientists but love your sub prime blue collar rear view mirror perspective. It’s how we all grow.

[Drummond]

That's the most sense you've talked in ages.

It's all upside.

I hear they have added a Cash Converters and a Pay Check™ loans booth too.

Also a large crematorium for the post funeralling clean up of the opposition.

I remain sceptical about the whole thing and how it will transpire particularly now "kneejerk" Heck is around.

I'm assuming the £120 doesn't include a matchday ticket?

Crazy there is no real discount for ST holders
