I thought the same, maybe just the ground floor will be ready???
I'm sure Spurs fans will only ever get into the ground floor - upper floors will be for administration/IT etc so accessible only by Spurs staff when the ticket office is in operation so upper floors needn't be finished, at least internally.
But for Spurs to 'open it' to fans I think that the outside of the building will need to be complete and all the interior of the ground floor fully wired, walls and floors in the 'finished state' and furniture in, and outside all the paving etc in place. Otherwise why let the fans see it ?
Looks a lot of work to be done in the next 2 weeks....but as I say if the building is now watertight and they are actually doing the internal wiring and general fit out, its probably 'doable' but possibly requiring 24 x 7 working to finish it.
Lets see what it looks like in a week, and maybe it'll look as if its all coming together ?
Still not sure about the wonky cladding. Maybe it'll add to the character of it, who knows
Wouldn't go as far as to say it ruins it - but it just looks odd. Out of place.
massive brain fart that
Be interesting to hear what the logic behind that was.
Given the magnificence of the rest of the stadium, it does look a bit, err, ugly. Maybe that’s harsh. Odd, perhaps, a better word?
I fancy it was a design risk they took that hasn't panned out how they expected. Funny old choice opting to do so with this area of the build when the rest of it is absolutely sparkling.
I won't be losing any sleep over it however
I was in a works canteen once and one of the bosses rang the canteen lady and asked her to put a call out for Mike Hunt. If I could go back in time I would love to take that call. 'Yep, he's coming!'
Think it looks cool in the sunsets. Would wait till' its lit before I doom it down.
It doesn’t bother me at all. I really like the ‘busy’ look of the facade. It’s distinctive.
I seriously have no idea what people are talking about.......this stadium has released some OCD in this place
Yeah, I remember a guy on SSC saying that the proportion of people with OCD there seemed disproportionate and maybe it's more to do with people loving a good moan...
I think it looks alright personally, quite interesting and designery.
