According to TF's twitter, hope the pitch is closer and without troops.
They are! @denzil1882: @tonyfernandes @Amit_Bhatia99 @philipb1 can we get the designers of the olympic stadium to do our new ground? #qpr |  |

They have provided a stadium which by all accounts is brilliant and matches the brief they were provided with. This is good news for the club as I'm sure they will design a decent one with football the main priority. |  | | |

Agreed. They're a huge company, and if they're given the right design brief they'll surely do a serious job. It's the brief that's important. |  |

The Emirates is rubbish - seats too far away from the pitch, and very poor atmosphere. The bowl shape seems to reflect all the crowd noise up into the sky. You need a rectangular shape to contain the noise within the stadium. |  | | |

might also have something to do with the fans inside the ground as well as the actual design , have a look at there website some serious pieces of work in there across the world. | |

as long as it's not a bowl shape I couldn't care less if Mickey Mouse was designing it. |  | | |

Can you use your programme notes to press that point home to the owners? | | | |

what is with the enormous gap between the pitch and stands tho?.. I hope we do minimum distance required | |

It seems like a few weeks ago we were going to make major announcement about the stadium and i thought we had a site and a prospective design (or at least a spec) to show off?
Did Tony's enthusiasm get the better of him as i've not seen anything of substance announced, just Phil Beard's very pragmatic, sensible announcements about the likely timelines for training ground/stadium developments. |  | | |

I think TF came out before Park announcement and said Stadium announcement would be in a few months | |

It was probably an oversight of me not to check the capacity before that post 
The point im trying to get at is most fans agree that bowl, one tier stadiums are not the way forward. The general look of this stadium looks good to me (just bigger  ) | | | |

I am a little bit suspicious of Populous. On the positive side it looks like they try and make every stadium unique. Each one seems like an artistic 'statement'. But I do wonder if that's what's needed for a dedicated football stadium.
The best new football stadia seem to me to be defined by their simplicity. I am thinking of:
Estádio do Dragão, Porto (Capacity: 89,000)
The Red Bull Arena, New York (Capacity: 25,000)
Juventus Stadium, Turin (Capacity: 41,000) |  |

I thought that Olympic stadium looked totally uninspiring when it was getting built...I was wrong! Can't see how the Hammers are going to fill it though. |  |

San Mamés has to be the dream for me;

40,000 capacity, roughly what we're looking for. And the stands come right onto the pitch, just like Loftus Road, and is rectangular an' all. The amazing atmosphere could be mainly attributed to the fans though! |  |
