Wow. Sweet stadium! I like the exterior as well as the huge glass facade on one side.

Very nice stadium, similar idea to one of the Valencia proposals with the stands rising out of a wide complex.

I'm supprized Spain havent put their hat in for a european championships, they havent hosted it since the 60's and quite franky with all the new stadiums being built plus the Bernabeu and Nou Camp they'd blow any of the other bids out of the water.

The author of this project is Estudio Lamela (http://www.lamela.com), the same of T4 in Madrid-Baraja airport and the enclosure of the façade and the roof of the east side of the Bernabeu stadium.

looks great,reminds me a bit of the Ricoh Arena in Coventry(well,the side of the staduim with the boxes)
any pictures of the inside of the current ground?

This rectangular proposal looks a lot better than an older, more elipse like proposal I once saw.

any pictures of the inside of the current ground?

Inside of actual stadium?

An amazing stadium, I like that the reconstruction brings in an ultra-modern stadium with a very nice design, but doesn't go for an unneccessarily high and unrealistic capacity. Beautiful.

I'm supprized Spain havent put their hat in for a european championships, they havent hosted it since the 60's and quite franky with all the new stadiums being built plus the Bernabeu and Nou Camp they'd blow any of the other bids out of the water.

Come on, with stadia like theirs, they should be setting their sights a lot higher, they would easily have one of the best bids in 2018 for the Worl... (ah I see what your doing now). Yes bid for the Euro's you should easily get it, you'll put on the best European Championship ever, and we'll back you all the way.

im liking this, really nice little stadium, love the glass.

Nice project!
:okay:

congratulations for the new stadium. it's great

Fantastic proyect ! :applause: :applause:

They'd be very hard pressed me make a case that they deserve a world cup before England get it again. At least the Germans could claim their was only 8 years difference and that a united germany had not hosted it before.

It would still have been over thirty years since they hosted it, and given the very limited pool of countries capable of hosting a World Cup, thats not particularly an insignificant amount of time. Of course as an Englishman, I very much hope to see us get the bid, but if Spain decide to bid, we should rely on producing a far better bid than them, not on the argument of the amount of time that will have elapsed since we last hosted it.

The best bid should get the World Cup, that's what counts.

I would much prefer Spain, as I like to travel to a World Cup and use the tournament as a holiday. I don't fancy going on holiday to Newcastle!!

Looks sexy.

How much is going to cost? Anyone?

How much is going to cost? Anyone?

70.000.000 Euros which includes knock down of current stadium. :)

When you look at designs like that it makes you appreciate just how dull and conventional the new Wembley Stadium is minus the arch.

New Wembley's pretty standard fare. But I do like it.

70 big'ens? That's cheap.

I also like the new Lazio stadium that's planned. Also very slick.

Apparently there have been some major evolutions today. Who can translate?

there is a link to a local news paper, (heraldo.es) its kind of long to translate completly,

but i'll give you the main points:

work on the ground should start by summer 2009, now the cost will be 103.5 m euro, and will take 24 months to get the stadium done

the "description" of this design that is on a concept stage, "is of a compact building, with stands conceived as a great boiling point, in order to favor a fell or sense of unity among fans"

the designer will be Aragon-born Joaquin Sicilia, and it will be build in Miraflores, San Jose.

this concept is the winner of the 3rd. bid that has been done to get a new stadium

the main advantage of the Sicilia bid, was that it responded to boiling point efect, and the colective feeling among fans- Said Enrique de Teresa, one of the biding judges.

After winning the dib, Sicilia has 4 months to present a more advanced proyect, after that all the permits and paperwork will have to be done, so that construction can start in summer 2009.

The stadium has some similarities to Allianz Areana and Beijing Olympic Stadium, but with abstractions of some "trazos mudejares" (some local art or architecture form).

This new stadium will put special atention on sustentability.

Also a comercial area, imitating a "andalucian patio" or terrace. was highly evaluated by the judges.


Thats about it.

the sidelines and the steepness of the stands, plus the roof, should do the job for a great athmosphere.

and for "only" 103.5 m euro, thats a grat deal

whats the capacity?

I'm particularly fond of the interior, which allows for a great football atmosphere.

whats the capacity?50,000 right?

hi! i am from Zaragoza, here you have more pics

http://bp2.blogger.com/_BlIG6IviWrc/SI7oJNEqClI/AAAAAAAAAmk/OjIIWqy0H1Y/s400/P5_puente_OK_B.jpg

Today the new Zaragoza's Stadium has been unveiled. It has been designed by the Zaragozano Joaquin Sicilia.

It will has a capacity of 43.000 spectators and it could be upgraded until 50.000 seats.

The works will start in 2009 and it is expected to be finished in 2011.

You have a video of the Stadium at the end of this page: http://ellocaldelavida.blogspot.com/2008/07/el-estadio-es-nuestro.html

is this already the 50k version?

^^ We really don't know yet... sorry

the project includes a 33 floors tower for comercial uses.

these were the 7 finalists, in my opinion the 3 first are the best.

amazing. i hope this gets built, it would be one of the best stadiums in the world.

I like the look of projects number 1 for its roof and colours but it is a rip off of Basel. I like the look of Project number 5 for its interior which is very unique from anything in Europe. And from the outside Project number 7 looks pretty decent. Project number 6 for me from that quick glance looks the worst. Is there any more renders of any of these projects?

Not the rip-off discussions again. The third tier concept bears some resemblance, that's all. But it stretches further along the end stands than at St-Jakobs Park.

EDIT:

Capacity?

'50013' is the name of the project and refers to the Postcode (ZIP) of the area where the stadium is going to be built (all postcodes in Zaragoza are 50xxx). But it also has much to do with the final required (after upgrade) capacity of 50000, according to the words of the arquitect.

Is there any more renders of any of these projects?

Only these renders of the second project, sorry.

I'm not saying its a rip off but it basically is a more complete version especially when you look at it from a birds eye view the two are similar. Dont get me wrong though if this stadium gets built it will be a great stadium.

Thanks a lot shows the stadium in a different way to that first image. I have to say i don't like the look of this one from an aerial view it’s a bit over the top for me. Still if this is the one that gets selected at least it is unique much prefer this to a boring plastic bowl.

Personally I'm just getting a little bit bored with the inflatable-boat designs.

Also can anyone tell me how Zaragosa are going to finance this stadium and when they hope to start building will relegation put this project in any danger? And when do Zaragosa want construction to start?

The idea is to start the works at the end of 2009 in order to have the stadium built in 2011.

Not bad, but I liked the old project better.

Will this be built at the site of current Romareda or somewhere different?

I liked it very much

This is a comparation of the 3 projects that we have had until now to build a new Stadium in Zaragoza. The 2 first were finally cancelled and the last one it is the current project.

I think that despite waiting so many years we have the best proyect for Zaragoza.

Unfortunately we don't see the lower stand in the latest design. I hope it doesn't have a huge glass wall of skyboxes like the previous design. Because now that I have another look at it I quite liked the interior of the previous design, except for that partical part.

The construction may starts on May 2009 and concluded in 2011.
The finance depends on sell building land near the new stadium, a comercial area inside it and a 33 floor office tower next to it.

It sucks that the New Romareda Stadium has been put on old and is in danger of cancellation. It would have been great to see this new stadium built.

Is going to be so cool.

An update from the Aragón Digital news agency

27/1/2010

Construction of the new stadium will start on Fall 2010


The Government of Aragon and the Saragossa city council have set up a new comitee for overseeing the new Stadium' construction. Also, the specification sheet for the feasibility studio has been aproved. If everything goes as expected, the works will start on Fall 2010 and will last for 2 years


Saragossa.- After the bilateral meeting held in December between the Aragon Government and the city council, both administrations have reached a new milestone. The feasibility studio must be completed in two months. The goal is to speed up the paperwork and timetables so the construction can start this Fall with an expected completion on 2012.

The Sports and Public Works councelor, Manuel Blasco, has declared that if everything goes as expected "the stadium would be ready in two years time". The overseeing comitee will be composed by three members of both administrations. According to Blasco, these meetings are puting in motion the agreements reached with the goal of speeding up construction work. Also, he's announced another meeting in fifteen days to constitute the body corporate that will manage the agreement.

Regarding economic involvement, he's reiterated that for the moment it is established at 50% for each administration, but it is open to participation by third entities in the future. Real Zaragoza club will be keep informed at all times of the construction work because "they are an important part of the project".

On possible reassessment of the old stadium terrains, Blasco has pointed out that no decision will be made until the next term. "As of now we're focused on the construction of the new stadium, in the future we will decide what to do with parcel of the Romareda stadium".



Bit of a sloppy translation but politics speech is quite hard to translate. :D Just in case any of you guys were wondering what happened to this little gem.

at least its nor cancelled
