Driving past the Amex.....

[willow147]

you mean you drive past it? how? i cant help but have to pop in the shop everytime lol haha

I drove past it on Tuesday on my way back home in Kent and the wife wouldn't allow me to go into the shop or Dicks bar. Having said that, the week before she did come with me on a stadium tour, have to give her credit for that one.

I've been known to take the long way round to a destination for a peek,sad but true!

Since the Falmer for all campaign, and still to this day I wind the window down and shout "Falmer for all" just hoping that a nimby gets a bit more miffed.

When you drive Past the Amex do you still stare at it? I've been to every home game and I still can't help myself, looking at it through every gap in the trees!

Sometimes i even have a little shuffle as well ,and i haven`t missed a home game yet.

During the 2 year build, and especially since the blue seats went in giving it completeness as our home, I love the sight of it.

Its vastness, design, the busy-ness around it even on non-match days when you go to the shop (compared to portakabin offices at Withdean), and finally knowing that already Gus has assembled a fine team which we've witnessed in it.

Anyone that missed Buckley's 2 late goals on that amazing afternoon, must be gutted.

The first time I drove past the completed exterior I remember thinking it was bigger than I thought it would be.

Same here.
Wonder if during the planning battle, if the sides that show it is massive, weren't heavily publicised?

Needs more flags on the outside!

I have not been near the old Goldstone site for a while, but I can now allow myself to look.
Until The Amex opened, I vowed not to.

It's still a little hard to completely come to terms with our new Stadium and believe my own eyes.
It's just like a dream come true, it really is.

seagull badges on the side need to be bigger please. i love the place so much

I did earlier and the guy in front broke, could easily have hit him. I'm amazed there haven't been more accidents!!

just started back to work on Friday, take a new route now and approach it from the A27 going North...absolutely marvelous scenes when you come around that bend and its RIGHT THERE infront of you! I think it looks LARGEST from this angle.

 

[catfish]

I wish I could drive...

 

[Captain Sensible]

Everytime I see the stadium I cant help thinking to mtself...."now thats an area of outstanding natural beauty"..

Oh very good.

 

[ArcticBlue]

It's even better than Hogwarts.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Been past it loads of times but I still never stop having a warm, lovey-dovey feeling when it comes into view.
And I still keep on gawping until it goes out of view.

 

[The Large One]

I tend to try and keep my eyes on the road.

However, you do get to notice when the driver of the car in front is gawping at the stadium - weaving in and out of lane...
