Easy peasy.
Everything blue and white.
No a sniff of red anywhere.
Meeters and greeters, stewards, all staff dressed in cockerel outfits.
Only chicken served at food outlets.
Everyone to receive a blue and white balloon on entry.
Released on first home goal.
More use of cockerel sound effects:
Entry of players, all home goals, free kicks to us, successful tackles, corners
It won't matter what the structure looks like
it'll be a sea of blue and white and cockerels everywhere.
could the stadium be shaped like a cockerel? #futureproofing

It is a unique idea, shame ours will probably look like a haemorrhoids clone!! Apart from the kop that is, but even that is a bit disappointing, if, as has been suggested, it only has a 9k capacity!!

Of course..! I mean there is a crocodile stadium so why not..!

@dazzle, who gave berranet's post a WTF? rating.........here are a couple of renders of Bursaspor's new 43K stadium that is currently nearing completion in northwestern Turkey:

Edit: oops....for some reason, all the subsequent posts (that already explained the crocodile stadium) weren't showing for me until I had posted this. Which makes my post somewhat redundant.

Never mind!

The Populous redesign will look quite different, I suspect.

Think a journo has re-written a number of the posts on this thread - nothing new in the way of quotes from NFL sources to justify the headline (unfortunately).

Agree. It's not exactly ground-breaking investigative journalism when the main revelation is that NFL teams need bigger changing rooms.

Wonder if Wembley will be at all miffed if NFL games are taken away from them? Particularly if we are genuinely trying to negotiate with them to use the stadium ourselves for a short while.

If Wembley have limits on the number of events they can hold with a full stadium, then Wembley mauy not be the best solution for NFL anyway.

If the Wembley management are professional, our negotiating with NFL will not really impinge on our seeking to borrow the stadium (with a capped crowd - not using the upper tier) for a season. Wembley will be trying to find events to fill it for the next 20 years in order to pay off the loans the FA took out to build it, and possible occupants, whether NFL or anyone else, will come and go over that time - there is no intrinsic reason why NFL will go to Wembley - and I think that#s the way the Wembley management will look at it. No difference to you or I changing a hotel for the next holiday !
