Sam takes a look at the incredible plans for a 115,000 seater stadium in Casablanca, the designers behind it, their links to Manchester United and what we can potentially learn from the cutting edge of stadium design around the world about any plans for a new Old Trafford.

[@robertblake1228]

LA really has nothing in common with north Englands Manchester, at all, The NFLs Indiana colts stadium would fit in nice and that would probably be it. All that 95K or 115K is for 6th graders or for men with a problem.

[@Danny-iv5uu]

The Casablanca stadium is built in the image of the country,area and culture. The huge tent like roof works for there.Old Trafford would need to be very different. A modern exterior with a little red brick to reference the past old trafford

[@vijeykumar7429]

115,000... That'll be 1000 fans for every one of Man City's charges 💀☠

[@chrissilvester5663]

Building a new 100,000 seater stadium is definitely the way forward. We deserve to have one of the biggest & best stadium not only in England but in all of Europe aswell. The surrounding area will be completely revamped aswell so that fans from all over can fully experience a proper day out with far more establishments for them to be entertained by before & after the game. I think Old Trafford should & will remain but it's capacity reduced & then used by our youth & woman's team. That's what I predict will happen

[@Art-is-craft]

Why not go for 120000 seats rather than just 100000. It could enable cheaper tickets but still drive higher revenues.

[@JGMc7]

Movethe club to London so we can get the best players

[@adamstannard7934]

Also use the old stadium for putting on events and shows as another source of revenue for the club! Would be awsome

[@DarrenMac-yk2gd]

We’re not even performing on the pitch yet ? Not bothered about a new stadium we deserve better football not more seats to watch this dross can’t even compete with Brighton year in and year out

[@damianclarkeed6683]

Exactly the capacity united need. Would fill 115 000. No problem. A massive club like united deserves a stadium like this

[@Jza-GZa40k]

Make it 150!

[@SuperMagnum83]

@@Jza-GZa40k Will be fortunate to get a 100K, very few councils in England would allow a football team to build anything larger than 60K. For example Islington council capped Arsenal at 60K, the only way a project like this could be achieved is by working with the government to overcome hundreds of obstacles to get planning permission. Anything above 100K is very unlikely due so many people trying to legally block anything bigger. The UK is very heavy on bureaucracy and regulations, to get permission to build a small extension to your home is a struggle so to get permission to build a 100k stadium is going to be an absolute nightmare.

[@angrosvenor2967]

Old Trafford is already well above 70,000. Wembley is 90,000

[@danielmelling3582]

It's so exciting you could go there hours before a game doing things before the match walking around taking in the site and then watching the game and spend time there after a game kids and parents will be talking about it for years to come imagine a 120k stadium that gets filled week In and week out the bigger it is the more money they spend but the more money they'll get back 🎉

[@tropicalpalmtree]

I am not Utd fan but agree. Old trafford is looking in poor shape nowadays with the leaky roof etc. Not a good look. The stadium reflects the team.

[@beyeseparateswe3425]

They need a roof like Real Madrid. New arena must be multi arena. Multiply income..rent it out to different events.

[@DarrenMac-yk2gd]

We don’t need a stadium like Real Madrid until we have players and performances to watch like Real Madrid im never been unhappier as a fan of this club than I am now the future on the pitch is so bleak a stadium distraction is the last thing we need

[@zurc_bot]

Wonder what it'll be called🤔The Heart of Manchester or something

[@bozzy-101]

It’d be nice to have the ability to actually purchase a ticket and take my boys to a game. It’s virtually impossible at the moment.

[@ShaneBoy]

They should not just stay at the stadium 1 hour before and after. They should mike restaurants, museums, shops, not only supporter gear, but stores with fashion brands and even sell some rare collaboration. They should have high traffic all days of the week.

[@DarrenMac-yk2gd]

Just another distraction while we humiliate ourselves on the pitch every weekend the part that actually matters

Stop being negative all the time Darren. You've made so many comments just whinging and complaining.

tbh that stadium if you consider only the stands it probably fits in ok. And honestly the more crammed in the better for me if it's 100k +. The outside roof thing takes most of the area anyway.

I hope our "New" Trafford, or whatever we're calling it, won't be like any one of the dozens of pillbox stadiums around the world. It has big shoes to fill in replacing the icon that has been our home for more than a century. Our new stadium has to be United through and through.

Imagine the arguments over the new name! I was thinking "Old Trafford presented by INEOS". 🤷‍♂️

[@catgladwell5684]

@@Rusco17 I have often thought about this. Fans of other clubs have lost their beloved old stadiums without trauma - as far as we know anyway, but the thought of losing Old Trafford upsets me a lot - the name and the ground itself.

[@shaneoneill9363]

Listen, we have to be realistic here. The Glazers aren't going to invest any money into renovating the stadium or building a new one. They're just sitting back and allowing Ineos and Ratcliffe to try to get the most money they can for their share of Manchester United, all while they line their own pockets. I think the Glazers' reluctance to fund any project will create massive obstacles for us, hence why we can see Ratcliffe and Ineos lobbying for public funding. While all of this seems positive at first glance, I have concerns about how the profiteering Glazer family is lurking in the shadows.

The Glazers are an irrelevance to the stadium project or anything else.

I think I'd prefer a new stadium that's built in a kind of old style as opposed to these modern futuristic "arty" looking stadiums. As a nod to the history of United, and the railroad workers history and all that.
