Didn't they say the pitch can be transitioned from NFL to Football, and visa versa, in 45 mins?

I thought the whole idea of the design was to host different events on the same day.
It really wasn't the whole idea at all.

I very much doubt they'll announce when the first game will be on the 7th, so don't get your (and everyone elses) hopes up.
It'll likely be a few paragraphs to say how testing went and what the forecast is.
I think there's every chance we get an announcement at the end of next week. If not the opening game at least the test events provided it passes the security tests next week. We wont get anything on Monday though as it's week commencing 7th Jan. It's purely down to how it goes next week. Further issues will mean nothing gets announced and we get a vague timescale. If it passes things should move pretty quick.

I admire your optimism.
I always say though that pessimists like myself never feel let down :ROFLMAO:

It would be a bit risky to mention a date and not give a proper update. I dont think Daniel Levy would mention next week if he didn't fully intend to announce something. It just seems a cautious approach to saying if everything goes ok we'll announce the opener.

I used to like it when we got progress pictures in here. Now it’s just a bunch of old women worrying about sloped pitches and NFL.

I think we’ve pretty much seen everything there is to see. We’ve probably seen the inside bowl from every possibly mathematical angle. Even the live cams are dead now. Apart from some cladding in the east and a few wires it’s finished.

I’ve yet to see the cheese room.

And you never will, none of us here are worthy of the cheese room.

There were stories of a man who found his way in through an Emmental wormhole and was never seen again. He found eternal life in what appeared to be a fromage Shangri-La. I think they may make a film about it. Those who try to return home fail at the threshold and crumble into a pile of Wensleydale, hoovered up by Mavis, cosmic cleaner of the Cheese Room.

There will never be a 'groundshare'. We're not 'sharing' with someone. We own the stadium and would be renting it out for an extortionate fee with commercial benefits on top. I'm 100% in favour of doing that in order to further improve the team.

Didn't the last update say an update on the week of the 7th?
So could be anytime that week for us.

Yeah so potentially Levy could get an update on the 11th and we get one in the middle of the week after that..
