Misleading figures. Arsenal filled 99.27% of the Emirates Stadium?

As if.

The figures relate to tickets sold, not bums on seats. Arsenal do pretty much sell out all of their games but actual attendances are often down from capacity due to no shows.

And that is why it's misleading. How can one say Arsenal (or any other club on the list) filled 99.27% of their stadium when that's not the case in their home games?

Hi. I have attached a link to a test animation render I made of the model. It is a low res, low detailed model guys. So don't judge me on the low quality, its really just to show different angles for those of you who have asked for such.

When more detailed images are released, I will do a proper model, with details and photorealism. But it is really not worth it right now, as beyond what I have been able to model from the images CFC have released, anything more is purely guess work, and that's not what I want to achieve.

Hi

Just a little something to keep you updated. 60,000+ seats added!

To give a little perspective to the dimensions of the stadium, if you consider that each block on the west lower in my render is 25seats x 28 rows = 700 seats per block, multiplied by 7 blocks which is 4900 seats in the west lower.

West middle is again 25seats x 12rows = 300 seats per block, multiplied by 7 blocks which is 2100 seats in the west middle.

West upper is 25seats x 35rows = 875seats per block, multiplied by 7 blocks which is 6125 seats in the west upper.

In total, the new west stand holds 13,125 seats on its own.

Here are the stand capacities in my model:

The east stand is 16,250.

The shed is 9,750

The Mathew Harding is 11,250

The west stand is 13,125

The corner between shed+west stand: 1,950

The corner between Mathew Harding + west stand: 1,950

The corner between east stand and shed: 2,475

The corner between east stand and Mathew Harding: 2,475

Overall (model) stadium capacity: 59,225

I am pretty sure that the isle's between each block are too wide in my model. Also I think th entrances in th stands are too big. I think that if both elements scale were reduced, and only sightless, the stadium capacity would easily exceed 60,000.

Thats stunning. Just hope the shadows will not be reflected on the pitch. The 2 goalkeepers might as well start taking naps.

Mourinho: "I’ve taken charge of 98 matches on my bench in Stamford Bridge and hope to have more." #CFC (Evening Standard)

Mourinho: "I know the club needs to make the next step and that is a new Stamford Bridge, more seats." #CFC (Evening Standard)

Mourinho on new stadium (1/2): At a certain point of our lives as a club, we will have to leave which is a bad thing but if..." #CFC

Mourinho on new stadium (2/2): "...we need to play at another stadium we will try to make it our new home while we wait." #CFC

Hi. Here is a first *rough* colour render. I've so many things to fix on this image, but thought I'd show you what progress has been made.

Hi. I have updated my render and I think this is about finished. I have fixed the scales of the players on the pitch. adjusted the lighting and re-textured the people in the stands. I have also re-worked the model for the middle tier. I changed the corporate hospitality boxes so that it is not a separate tier, like at arsenal, but is incorporated directly into the middle tier. I think this is more likely.

Fantastic pal. Keep up the good work.

Neil,

There can't be a single Chelsea fan who, looking at your render, does not want to see it happen tomorrow.

I can only imagine one problem with it. How on earth will the real thing ever live up to your work?

I wonder where any video board would go.

[Neilando 219]

Hi. So I thought I would do one last render, and this view shows the Shed end stand.

[Neilando 219]

...and here it is without the roof and lighting system.
