You wouldn't have thought the north and east stands would be structurally safe with the corner missing.

It will be handy in the 90th minute when the opposition are through on goal.I hope no one presses that button while a game is on
It's that big lump of steelwork that's the important bit...You wouldn't have thought the north and east stands would be structurally safe with the corner missing.
These pictures are quite sad to see. The stadium be it good or bad times has been part of my life. My first match sitting in the old east stand upper on the wooden seats, to being a bit older and ' allowed ' on the shelf, to standing then sitting in the park lane, through to my boys first game in the east upper against Maribor complete with 1882, he is now hooked for life. Funny how I never realised that sat in the corner of the east, Paxton block against Florence would be my last ever.
Oh well upwards and onwards

It's not retracting outside...it's....All this guy is doing is showing what the University of Phoenix stadium does. The difference though is there is a huge area outside the stadium that fits the grass. That won't be the case at WHL. Where is the grass going to go if it retracts outside?

I didn't know that WHL was officially getting a retractable pitch (is it official?). And if we are, I never heard of where it was goingIt goes underground, underneath the stadium. Where else do you think it goes?

Good stuff. Thanks for the link.Yeah, it's official. Can't have NFL players on our grass, they'd destroy it, so the pitch retracts.
Thought it was pretty safe to assume it was going underground.
The new Tottenham stadium's retractable pitch is a technical and financial marvel
Here you go =)
"The turf soccer pitch sits in three trays which separate and then slide into a parked position below the south stand and southern podium"
I know but just looks weird and over time it's strange to see what's deemed to be load bearing.
