I'd love to see them add a bespoke venue hall to the new development. Possibly 800-1,000 capacity for a regular gig or event. I've only ever been in the Suite once and that is not an option as it is. It should be fairly straightforward to add at the planning stage without affecting the matchday provision. It would be a great way to use the facilities on non matchdays and Brum could do with a state of the art medium size gig two or three times a week. Maybe combine it with catering or completely separate alongside the stadium, there should be plenty of room.

That’s exactly what the new Warehouse is going to be.

Never leave Villa park please. Id stop going if we had Spurs ground.

It’s a great events arena, not sure it’s anything special as a football ground….being up in the gods was disappointed to see bland stairwells and no escalators :-) for all that money they should have escalators throughout :-)

The atmosphere felt like it completely dissipated in the upper tier, it was weird. Also didn't help being stuck behind the big screen, had to duck to see the action at the other end.

How did you get on with the self-pouring beers, they must have been sick at least?

Was looking over at those seats and wondering how bad the view was

Agree with that. Atmosphere felt very flat in the upper corner (thankfully just low enough to avoid the screen)

Spurs have a fantastic sports stadium, we have a fantastic football ground.
