Why does the STA bit look taller than the bet365 bit?

Interestingly, the King Power is undergoing some improvements at the moment, and has been improved in recent years too. For any of you who went last season we now have those blue LCFC panels which give the stadium more character, as before it was just sponsorship panels outside. The club have removed our white seating across the whole stadium, with the rumour being they are being newly replaced, as well as the blue seats. You may of noticed the blue seats in our ground over the years have changed colour from royal blue to nearly sky blue. Apparently they are either replacing them entirely with our traditional blue colour, or bleaching them all to make the seats match up in one colour. Sounds like the Brit (the Bet?) is going through some changes as well. The seats at Stoke are now one of my bug bares....majority of them have gone from red to pink, I'd love to see them replaced with all new red seats!!!

Looks great, not too big, understated with the colour and presumably backlit as per the new bet365 building. Top work, Stoke.

I hope they're not planning to leave the letters in black. I think they could have been bigger as well.

It's just how the seats are worn over the years I suppose. The Brit's been a ground since 1997 whereas the King Power we moved to in 2002. Both have seen potential wear in seating inside the stadium. I can confirm we are, replacing our white (and) blue seats, returning them both back to their original colours at our ground. It's looking very good. Makes the place smarter inside. Our club have been active in terms of stadium improvements/investments over the years. Not sure if the Brit has had new red/white seats since it's been built, perhaps the club would look into this if they really need doing.

The sign on the stadium is now complete with all lettering.
Rather bizarrely, they seem to be laying turf on the pitch. I was under the impression that they were growing it from seed?

The new pitch is a mixture of grass and a fine nylon thread ,which as being growing for weeks in a field.There has been six layers of sand of differant mixtures plus soil.With a new under soil heating system also fitted.

That makes sense. The whole place looks neat and tidy to be fair, and the contractors are still working at this hour.

The Brit will be look very nice in coming years then, corners filled in and new red seating, with the possibility of stadium expansion too (?). I have noticed (although not complete) the difference our new blue/white seats have made at the King Power.

I though you would all still be buzzing about being champions but instead you seem very excited about our new seats.

Well I have an interest in football stadia in general, so changes/improvements/new grounds/stadium structures is quite fascinating to me. I enjoy the topics on here, some interesting stuff to talk about and it's nice to feel welcomed despite me being an opposition supporter.
I like Stoke, I value your support and just feel you're a great club. Nice ground too. Of course, being the champions of the Premier League is outstanding and such a great feeling. Particularly when you've followed your club through bad times to now good times.

I have noticed (although not complete) the difference our new blue/white seats have made at the King Power. Did Leicester re-use some of the seats from the main Carling(?) stand at Filbert Street when they moved? Someone told me that years ago but it seemed strange for a new stadium. I remember that being one of the more impressive new stand developments when it went up (1994ish) - not that it lasted very long!

I can't say I've got knowledge of this but sounds interesting and you could be right. I never managed to go to Filbert Street, and witness that stand in real life. It was a magnificent stand though judging by the photos, that one there is a great picture. It wouldn't look out of place now.
