From what it looks like, the shell of the old power plant is going to be used as the facade, while the actual stadium is going to be adjacent to it.

Grandiose.

Best stadium on Earth DROOOOL

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Grandiose.

But perhaps structurally impossible. As mentioned above, it looks like the power plant will be used as the equivalent to the West/East stand.

Impossible the BPS is to small to have a ground built entirely within its current structure, the only way to incorporate the BPS is to demolish the east turbine hall (unlisted part) and use the west turbine hall and smoke stacks as the shell to a stand, the quick sketches apparently from one of the development partners seems to confirm that this is the plan.

Comparing Chelsea and Bayern Munich's football "models". Bayern 13,500 standing places: 15 euros for top match. #cfc cheapest (non-member) £52.

That'll look terrible! In comparison to what might have been, as in building within the power station.

Never an option, not big enough.

I blame TX for raising my hopes with those models he made.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Now I'm not really looking forward to moving...Using Battersea as a Facade will look....Meh.

It is possible, if we keep those 4 towers and their supporting structures and knock down everything else.

Its not possible as the east turbine hall and control room are listed and so can't be gutted and the size of the power station is 150 metres by 170 metres at their furthest points so the actual inside bit inside to build within is quite a lot smaller so in theory once you had the pitch which would be circa 105 metres long by 70 metres wide leaving next to no room for any stands.

So like I said not possible no matter how many pretty pictures are knocked up in photoshop.

Noo

if we're moving to battersea power station, just demolish the whole building down and rebuild

The club have already confirmed they'll be retaining the main structure, not tearing down the building is an essential feature of the proposed stadium.

just saying that if it's not possible to build a 60,000 to 70,000 stadium within the current building
