Project of the TFF for the EURO 2016 bid

http://i49.************/23s8y6d.jpg

http://i50.************/2u7ov1u.jpg

it's not for all izmir teams i guess.. just for karşıyaka as i know.

It will be in the Karsiyaka district, but all will play here.

it's by far the ugliest ones among all euro2016 proposals.

It will be in the Karsiyaka district, but all will play here.


it's almost impossible that göztepe and karşıyaka can play in the same stadium. :lol:

but for altay, that can be possible.

Its possible
Just look at the current situation

I hope this stadium will never be done!
It must change 180 degrees...

I don't think it's too bad...it has a very imposing style, but i'm not impressed with the single tier at the goal ends.

it is not suitable for EURO... It is ugly and not modern..

it is not suitable for EURO.....

Lol why? :)

because old fashion :D

you can easly add a cladding like at cape town

i hope so... so, sercan say, how did you find this project?

IMO its a great project
nce stands
a lot of suites and this will be the stadium of Karsiyaka SK
I am so sure that they will built a new one at Atatürk Stadium in 15-25 years.
Turkey will bid for the WC 2030+ so Izmir will be a semi final city
So the cap. has to be 65,000+

I hope you are right...

3 teams sharing one stadium, overkill no? who will actually own it?

The turkish state

The New İzmir Stadium, a modern amphitheatre also known as “Ege’nin Gözbebeği” (the apple of the Aegean eye) will be located on a hill north of İzmir Bay, creating a landmark similar to a lighthouse on the Aegean coastline. The architecture of the stadium is inspired by historical influences of Hellenic and Roman architecture, which have dominated this part of Turkey for millennia.

The recessed glazed façade and the base construction of this 40,000+ seat stadium are derived from the appearance of ancient Roman coliseums while the upper tier is a modern interpretation of a Hellenic amphitheatre. This tier is in the form of a horseshoe and is open towards the South, which offers our visitors inside the stadium a spectacular view over the bay to the city centre.

The New İzmir Stadium is conceived as an amenity that brings the surrounding area to life 24 hours a
day, attracting people to the stadium’s entertainment facilities as well as its restaurants, cafes and bistros, offices and banquet hall.

The newly projected tramline and motorway connections as well as ferries and several bus lines will provide excellent connectivity to the city centre.

IMO very nice stadium. Why always the same?? this is a new style and very nice.

Actually reminds me of that one in S.Africa

http://i49.************/23s8y6d.jpg

just without a cladding

Better without the cladding...otherwise it would just look old-fashioned. In this way it's SO old-fashioned it's actually cool - retro :D

it's best project of Turkey 2016 according to me.Its inner design resemble Dragao.

it's by far the ugliest ones among all euro2016 proposals.

^^ totally agree, tho

Its realy ugly stadium. All this in Euro 2016 projects Izmir new stadium and Istanbul olympiad will build for certain.Unfortunately we will have this ugly stadium :(

net cap is 41,540

Why Izmir build new stadium? The architects don't even know the Izmir Ataturk stadium already exist. Also, the design of the new stadium is outdated, its exterior look like old American coockie cutter stadiums. It make bad replacement for Ataturk Stadium. So cancel this project and make upgrades and add roof to existing stadiujm.

Old stadium will stay
Karsiyaka district needs new stadium.

Reminds me of the Azteca from the exterior

Judging from those renders i thing they need to do something similar with that S.African stadion couple posts ago. The naked pilars doesnt look good. In Panathinaikos new stadion you can find also empty spaces (the external parts behind the goalposts) but as far i know in those parts will expand the capacity so those parts will covered too. Later i will post the render in the Panathinaikos thread.

Anyway, i thing with a simply cover on the external part, the stadion will look very good.

It's a modern look of an old type of structure
Very simple, very elegant

How can the Izmir club be from 1912?
1912 the city was called Smyrna and was greek.

wrong informations.
First, City was called Smyrna in english and in greek yes, but it was called Izmir in ladino and İzmir in turkish. After 1930, it was started to call izmir in english as well.

Secondly, after a terrific loss in world war I for Ottoman empire side, western world (or the winners ) offered the western regions of turkey to greece. Thus, greek army occupied izmir in 1919 (not before) and tried to expand their regions towards central anatolia and their occupation lasted till 1922 and turkish army got the regions back. So, rethink what you have said in your post.

Anyway, any information on when the construction will start ?

it was always Turkey since 1310, Greece has just occupied the city between 15 th of May 1919 , 9th of September 1922.

I will not rethink anything. The city had a greek population (even if it was under turkish governing).
So it still dosen't make sense that the club is called Izmir.

I assume the greeks didn't call it Izmir?

sweety, greeks didn't but we do....so go and fys....

Yes. The greek clubs from Izmir aka Smyrna were called Smyrna like
Orfeas Smyrna, Apollon Smyrna or Smyrna FC

While the Turkish clubs were called,
Karşıyaka SK, Altay SK, İzmir İdman Yurdu SK,

I will not rethink anything. The city had a greek population (even if it was under turkish governing).

you dont hav to rethink, just start to think. its easy!
youre right with HAD, its past!
population of a country doesn't exist of one single nationality, it's practically impossible!
they can call it how they want or used to. the same with every other nation!

How can the Izmir club be from 1912?
1912 the city was called Smyrna and was greek.

look at the izmir crest, 1914 and not 1912. and if you insist: this city had a double name in that time: Smyrna/Izmir. take a look at the FIRST crest of altay:

http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/brands/0022/7401/brand.gif

but NOW its izmir. or what is on the crest of 1.fc cologne? colonia or köln?
so many cities (espacially in europe) had different (similar) names. and some greek/turkish (sport-) teams have been founded in the other country.

turks/greeks have so so much in common, but unfortunately politicians are destroying history by interpreting it subjectively "right/wrong"... i wish, greece/turkey could have done an "agean-bid", but as i mentioned: POLITICS :(

lame ass shizzl

Yeah!!:) ... euh NO:bash:

The second tier looks like a horse shoe (for luck?) is that correct? I Like the stadium, it atleast looks original.

Actually to have a view over the city and the Gulf of Izmir / sea.

I don't understand this opsession for Gulf of Izmir. What is important there? It is not Bosphorus or an incredible natural view. Also for a sport building, seeing the field should be imporant. Why to see another view? Concentration to the filed is imporant. do they want to build a hotel or restaurant or a stadium?

^^^^^^

totally agree, the city landscape,exterior view is not important at all from inside the stadium, i'd even say that it's better not to be able to see outside... when you go to a stadium wanna se ur favorite sport and entertain yourself, get in the sport mood and feel the energy of the crowd towards a good play etc. you don't want to raise ur eyes, see the building you work in and remember that you have to get that report done for monday or whatever,...

stadiums are made to forget your problems, live your sport passion, surrounded by a huge crowd cheering all around you, that way you can really enjoy the match, competition, race etc... with ur friends or family :banana::cheers:

cheerzz

this stadium doesn't look very good I guess it's one of those that's built for one purpose to watch futbol.

the horse shoe issue, you are right, just like in berlin olimpic.
architects do such things to be original it is okey for an olimpic stadium
having a special place for ceremonies, but for football stadiums,
i think they dont understand how much they give harm to the inner athmosphere by damaging the continuity of stands, so the fans.
i believe the best internal design for a football stadium is the most monotonous one.
the only thing to do must be gathering the people as much as you can without dividing them into parts and making them closer to the pitch as much as you can ......

I wish it's not built this way, a new project please.

Any news about this stadium?

Actually Izmir has got 3 big clubs (Karsiyaka SK - 1912, Altay SK - 1914 and Göztepe SK - 1925). But for years no club is at the Süper Lig.I think money is the biggest problem and maybe 3 clubs are a lil bit too much for the city.

Makes sense, even Istanbul with 3 big teams and another smaller one is probably streching its power a bit too much. One huge Izmir club could be a real threat in Turkey.

Anyway, love the Bursa stadium.

How can 3 clubs stretch a city with 15 000 000 inhabitants?

3 "Big" Teams + 2 "small" Clubs from Istanbul are playing in the STSL (first turkish football league).
And no it is nothing special, just look at London.
IMO the big Teams in Istanbul could easily fill larger Stadiums (I had a discussion wirth Sercan about it)


There is a big rivalry betwwen those Clubs in Izmir. They would never merge together. Especially Göztepe and Karsiyaka hate each other. Both temas have a huge supporter group.

Well it might make sense in Turkey. But those 10-15 millions are not as rich as Londoners. In a European sense, Istanbul might host a true superpower if they had fewer teams. Same for Moscow really.

Anyway, I was just a bit surprised that with all the new construction going on or being planned, the second biggest city is nowhere to be seen. I hope one of the Izmir teams can manage to really grow into a more powerful team.

Actually there are plans for 2 new stadiums in Izmir.

The project at the first page has been canceled. But at the same location this one is planned
Capacity is 25,900
http://i52.************/2jebu34.jpg

http://i55.************/96w604.jpg

+ a new one for 40,000.


But the clubs fear that there could be problems. So the presidents prefer a smaller version.

Karsiyaka SK proposed this version (12,500)

http://www.ksk.org.tr/tr/image_resize.php?image=../haberfoto/KSK_STADI2_1.jpg&w=600&h=400



And a new small one (12,500) for the clubs in the south.

Of course like Karsiyaka the archrival Göztepe would also prefer a new stadium at their district
http://oi49.************/fctxy0.jpg



But those small stadiums are just ideas of the club. The turkish state plans to built the 25,900 in the north and some years later a new 40,000 one.

Not as rich, but they can fill the stadius though. Galatasaray and Fenerbace allready have got big stadium, only Besiktas is on the small side, but I can´t remember seeing one of these stadiums empty. No problem in Istanbul mop.

Anyway, I was just a bit surprised that with all the new construction going on or being planned, the second biggest city is nowhere to be seen. I hope one of the Izmir teams can manage to really grow into a more powerful team.

Izmir is a strange gab on the football map it is.
