Wow - it is prepared for hockey! And I will maybe move to LT for a year for work. Does Kaunas Hockey Club need a offensive first line center? :D

:lol: Lithuania is a country of basketball. It's our second religion. And Kaunas is the capital of basketball in Lithuania, so i'm not sure if ice-hockey is very big thing here :D But it would be good for us to make some progress in this kind of sports ;)

:D
Btw, didn't Sabonis want the arena to be located near the MEGA shopping mall? And the city wanted the arena on that island? How did they make Sabonis change his mind? And what will happen with that Soviet hotel bloc nearby? ;)

Where are you from (interesting how do you know some of these facts)? :D

At first there was some ideas to built arena near "Mega" shopping mall. But i think Arvydas Sabonis would like it at the island more, as a lot of other Kaunas citizens. The island is in the city center and it would be very symbolic for Kaunas to have it's basketball arena in Kaunas heart. But there is a lot of discusions about that. Some architecs is doing all they can to change this project (thats why i hate them). If not all those discusions, the project would have been started much time ago.

Oh and the "Respublika" hotel... :lol: It will be reconstructed. It will cost the same like to built the arena - 200,000,000 LTL. There will be placed about 300 apartaments, big conference center, swimming pool, sports, healthyness and body-care centers, restorans, cafés.

:applause: :okay:

Look very funky. Hard to judge how it will work IRL...

Little but cute, i would say ;)

Wow looks really amazing! - the facade is very original!

Good, maybe even great but not as good as Šiauliai's new stadia.

ŠIAULIAI is reinventing a genius concept: Small and Beautiful

looks like a nice building:) modern and glassy i like that;)... But for its size... it really hasn't got that much attendance...

Hehehe, I have been to Kaunas many times, I actually visited the island this year :) It will be interesting to see how they will cope with the traffic situation. Any plans to build a bridge from the south shore? :) Maybe I will stay at "Respublika" at next visit? :-D

You can see bridge is this rendering (don't know if it's just for pedestrians or not, thought):

So maybe one day there will something like that ;)

And the traffic situation may get very bad. Kaunas Arena and big shopping mall "Akropolis", which is located on the north side of the river and will be opened soon, will be the main reason of that. But, i hope, this will be solved out ;)

Depends on when that visit is going to be, but one day i hope you will ;)

But for its size... it really hasn't got that much attendance...

Yes you are totally right ;) But arenas aren't built just to be big, if city would need this, we would build it. Don't forget that this arena aren't built in NYC etc. ;)

Nice, but not as nice as the Iceberg. That was WAY nice.

Wow I didn't know such a thread exist :) But since I found it maybe I'll try to refresh it for a bit.

Well that is it for today I didn't add biger projects of our arenas for FIBA Euro Basket. And maybe I'll update this thread with other projects, sooner or later.

Wow, what a nice stadium they are planning to build there in Panevezys! Are those plans realistic? :)

What is the progress with Kaunas arena?

Most of the works in Zalgiris Arena is going on inside, first floor stands are being built, and in a week or two they will start adding roof and facade.

I was looking of some aerial pictures of Lithuania from Marius Jovaisa, and was amazed with this picture

But, what happend here, what is the story behind this stadium skeleton

The works are on-hold right now it supposed to be our National stadium with 25000 seats a lot of struggles with licenses, permissions, financing stuff in municipality and etc. Unfortunately, cause Lithuania would have a nice stadium by now, as I remember the price of it was way too big for a stadium like this.
Here is some pictures:

Besides, this is not the only disappointment of Lithuanian stadiums. Few years ago local business man V.Romanov, the owner of Edinburgh hearts fc, Kaunas FBK football clubs and Kaunas Zalgirsis Basketball club, owner of new Zalgiris Arena (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=719054), wanted to invest in Kaunas Darius & Girenas stadium, the reconstruction would have made it twice bigger, would have added a roof, but the stadium owner is municipality and it didn't allowed to do so :( that is a big shame

Stadium now:

cool. I assume this will be the only place for skiing in Lithuania since it is quite flat over there, am I wrong?

Yup, it's quite flat. On the other hand - the weather is quite unpredictable. Therefore this arena will address both of those issues - flatness and unpredictable weather :)

when end this project?

I am quite sure that it will be finished by the end of 2011 for sure. But I hope that maybe it is possible to finish it by the time of European basketball championship which will start on September of 2011 in Lithuania.

in anyksciai is Indoor winter entertainment arena. are in demand the winter entertainment arenas in lithuania?

This one is purposed not for the lithuanians only but for the whole region - polish, latvians, estonians, belarusians, russians, scandinavians etc. While that one in Anyksciai is mostly for the domestic usage and I think it's not indoor. It's outdoor - therefore it's open just for a short time of a year while this one is full year open.

I have just read on the official site www.snowarena.lt that arena will be opened on this winter :cheers:

I like this project. I'm sure it will be popular. There hasn't been anything like this in Lithuania (what about neighboring countries?) before and it looks like a very exciting form of entertainment.

The works are on-hold right now it supposed to be our National stadium with 25000 seats a lot of struggles with licenses, permissions, financing stuff in municipality and etc. Unfortunately, cause Lithuania would have a nice stadium by now, as I remember the price of it was way too big for a stadium like this.

Canada geese have been hitting the media radar screen hard this summer. The secretive, night-time gassing (incorrectly labeled “euthanasia”) of 400 geese in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park led to a public outcry with bursts of vitriol from both sides of the avian aisle. (To see those geese before they were killed, take a look at our first video: “In Dogged Pursuit of Geese . The dust and the feathers have begun to settle as an uneasy truce, or is it ennui, has settled in – until next year.
canada goose jackets (http://www.goose-parka.com/canada-goose-jackets-c-4.html)
The camps are still split-tent divided. The people who find nature somewhat dirty and repellent feel that reducing the number of Canada geese is a matter of national security. On the other side of the fence, animal lovers see the gassing of flightless birds as an uncivilized, even barbaric act. They believe there must be an alternative, more humane solution. gnshvnfyrwc
moncler jackets (http://www.monclersofficial.com/10-moncler-jackets)
They are right. On New York’s Long Island (and elsewhere) a not-for-profit organization called GeesePeace has been pushing the stratagem of “population stabilization” of Canada geese for years. Not-for-profit it might be, but GeesePeace would appear to have been earning a steady income from selling their expertise and services to local governments. As we’ve written before, their knowledge of dog-handling and methods of hazing nuisance Canada geese may be wayward, but their position on population stabilization is right on the money.
cheap ugg boots (http://www.boots-luxury.org/cheap-ugg-boots)
On Long Island this bureaucratic form of civic action is actually working. There are less resident Canada geese in Nassau County on the western end of the island. This is down to the simple mathematical reality that if each nesting pair of Canada geese produces an average of 5 goslings each year, in the eight years in which the GeesePeace program has been underway, that pair is down by some 40 offspring. Then calculate the effect of failure to reproduce by all the other nesting pairs on Long Island.
Obviously, GeesePeace’s volunteers and the Town staff used for the program are not addling every goose egg on the island. Far from it: but the results they obtain allied to the effective forms of goose control practiced by GEESE OFF! have produced handsome dividends in the efforts to reduce the damage caused by resident Canada geese.
moncler outlet (http://www.moncleres.com)
That is why it’s important for GEESE OFF! to keep up the pressure with our method of canine goose control. We add our teams to the addling effort and our highly trained dogs and handlers keep the birds on the move – constantly. As a result, they have to nest in less favorable sites where their eggs are more prone to predation by raccoons and urban foxes.

This is nature at work, keeping the different species in balance.
