Which sports team uses Olympic stadium in Seville?
I heard that stadium is empty 360 days per year.

No club plays there. The stadium held two Copa del Rey finals and a UEFA Cup final (Celtic - Porto). And Spanish national team played there several games.

They use it for concerts, congress.. even a Davis Cup final, but you don't need a 65k stadium with athletic track to host these events. As you say most of time is empty: you can imagine it as they list as "events" trainnings from clubs from East and North Europe during their winter breaks.

The problem is that the stadium was built for World Athletic Champioship with Summer Olympics in mind. As they only hosted the World Champioship, they tried Bestis and Sevilla to move there, but obviously, neither wanted to move to a stadium with tracks. Even if they promise to refurbish the stadium is unlikely they move there.

In Spain, big stadiums with tracks are basically useless. Español ran away from Montjuic as soon as they could, Mallorca's fans already miss Luis Sitjar since they play in Ono Stadi, Deportivo de La Coruña removed the tracks in riazor, Real Sociedad lost one of the best atmospheres when they moved to Anoeta...

Is there some new over the Peineta stadium?
Is Athletico moving to that stadium?

Please some info, Thanks

:lol: nice photoshop with ArenA Amsterdam (http://mitglied.lycos.de/Groundhopper/AmsterdamArena.jpg)

any capacity increase ?? cost ?? construction start ?? :))

^^ nothing official yet.

rumours says capacity will be increased by 3000-10000 seats.Works will be finished by 2014

this is what we know by know:

"The stadium must be subjected to constant evolution and must become a symbol for state-of-the-art facilities and excellence. We want to transform it and make of it a leading example for modernity, for sports, for Madridismo and for the city of Madrid. We want it to be a building whose singularity, quality and beauty goes beyond our borders."

"We want to provide it with enveloping skin that will serve to roof all seats so that our supporters won't suffer from adverse weather conditions while watching a game."

"We will move the Esquina del Bernabeu shopping centre to the Paseo de la Castellana, where our facade will be enlarged by 24 metres. We will enlarge and improve our museum and the Stadium Tour, which currently have 750,000 visits per year, making it a strong touristic destination in the centre of town."

"We will use state-of-the-art technology and renewable energy sources. An underground parking lot for 1,000 vehicles will be constructed, but we will also keep the 500 capacity parking lot on the corner of Concha Espina and Padre Damian."

"To sum up, this is a unique and exceptional opportunity. The stadium of our dreams must become the best stadium in the world and must have universal appeal.

Any news about Estadio La Peineta and new Real Zaragoza stadium?

Any news about Estadio La Peineta and new Real Zaragoza stadium?

The Atletico de Madrid has permission to build on La Peineta,according to news 3 days ago.

Do any of these clubs have money for new stadiums?

^Wow. Love it

Very nice small stadium!

Fantastic stadium. I wish my favorit football club had one like this.

Hi people. Recently Granada's Stadium (Los Cármenes) has been rebuilt. Now 22.500 people can see football in La Liga, the spanish maximum division :) For Knowledge: Granada Club de Fútbol is an historic team in La Liga and is called "Matagigantes = giantskiller" (winning big teams) or "Ave Fenix" (because in 5 years was in fourth division and almost dead with a lot of debts). Fortunately, for football's lovers, Granada CF has returned. :cheers:

Few days empty less this year.
Final of Davis Cup will be played there as it was few years ago.

^^ Well, it's good to hear that it still has a use, but overall that stadium has been such a wasted opportunity.

They should have made it more flexible. I mean to be relatively easy to make it football specific . Now with those stands so much away from the field it is imposible to expect Betis or Sevilla to play here.

^^ One of the few stadiums in the world where you can happily say that the floodlights make the stadium what it is. Looks great!

Is there some new over the Peineta stadium?
Is Athletico moving to that stadium?

Please some info, Thanks

Any news about Estadio La Peineta and new Real Zaragoza stadium?

Atlético de Madrid will be playing in october 2014 in La Peineta (70.000 seats). Now they are building the new stadium :cheers:

OMG,those floodlights are fantastic

I don´t know why images are so small. I atteched them from my blog at 700 ppp longest side.

Some news about the Betis stadium?

You'd better get used to a "half built Betis Stadium" :lol:, because there is no short or medium range plan to finish it.

It's a legacy from an era of excess in Spain, when most people believed in forever fast growth. Even now, Betis won't sell out the stadium but two (Madrid and Barcelona) or three (Sevilla) times a year. A bigger stadium makes no sense, even if the had the money.

No plan to finish Villamarín (Betis's stadium) but Betis has got many supporters and I strongly think they can get a stadium with 60.000 seats (now they have got 52.000) so in my opinion it makes sense.

Bilbao arena looks good from the outside, but the interior is far from being one of most modern in Europe ;) Simply plastic seats doesn't fit that criteria. Imo best euroleague arenas by now is Ulker sports Arena (https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/404629_10150559296627351_612002350_9017560_496934946_n.jpg) and Zalgiris Arena Kaunas (http://www.flickr.com/photos/iksiukasan/6448573567/lightbox/). Nothing beats those by the moment ;)
