This stadium is renovated and not a new build. The athletics track was there to begin with.

Yes, but it could just as well build in grandstand. Warsaw stadium is also not created from nothing.

For exemple in Zabrze track is being replaced by grandstands...

Warsaw and Zabrze are created from nothing - these are completely new structures. Kyiv used majority of its old structures, so we are talking about completely different things here...

The use of the new 13-floor structure to the west of the Olimpiysky Stadium has been revealed. And it is...

The Sheraton Kiev Olympiysky Hotel. A five-star hotel with 172 standard rooms and 18 suites, including three elite suites and a presidential suite of 150 square meters. It will also have a restaurant, a lobby-bar, and a bar on the roof.

One last question about the 13-floor building: How did it get conceived in the first place?

Great stadium, I like it. Reminds me of olympics stadium in London, but this one in Kiev is much nicer.

much more better than London olympic stadium for sure :)

But it wasn't designed with the same mentality.

London is a temporary structure that can evolve in the future and perhaps become the same than Kyiv

Normally I don't like stadiums with athletic tracks but this stadium is a work of art. Knowing that this is a renovated stadium I really think that this venue is the right choice and really deserves the Euro 2012 finales.

Triple A stadium

so gorgeous!

Its really annoying to watch football match in the athletic stadium. If You want to watch football then build a football stadium. Stadium like this only suitable for the stupid sport like athletic.

Try reading the whole of the thread :bash:

It's not a new build, it's a renovation of an existing stadium.
Most of the stands are original. Only the VIP section is new
The track was already there. Would you just leave a big gap between the pitch and stands.
It's not a club ground and will only host a few games a year.
At least there isn't a massive space between the edge of the track and the stands like the London 2012 stadium.


I'm no fan of Athletic tracks in footy stadiums but in this case it's perfectly justifiable.

^^
Compared to that incredibly awful London Olympic Stadium
the Kiev Olympic stadium really is an architectural masterpiece.

Kiev should have been hosting the 2012 Olympics instead.

Nice stadium for being a track and field stadium. Love the blue tracks and the colorur combination. As a swede I feel like home.

I understand that this is the stadium King Zlatan will dominate in June 2012 :cheers:

Looking forward to going to Kiev!

This stadium not deserve to host final world cup. The track stadium for football match extremely unacceptable. Bayern, juve, stutgart, m.city, bremen already moved or developed their stupid athletic stadium. I can't see why ukraine didnt realize it.

It won't host the World Cup final ;)

And you answered your own question. In Munich, Stuttgart, Torino and Manchester there are strong football clubs that either own or are primary tenants of their stadiums. This stadium hasn't got a club that would fill it. So football isn't the only day-to-day operation mode...

I'm impressed. This is a superior design. Spectacular, really. It's too bad I'm 7,000 miles away. Normally I don't like track stadiums, but this is easily the best that I've seen.

Very original and beauty. I like this fantastic stadium.

England shall play Sweden here :)

for everyday games in a league, running tracks is terrible for the experience. But when it comes to championships as Euro and WC it's something extra with this kind of stadium.
Big and round, it just feels so epic.

Like Olympiastadion in Berlin, Maracanã in Rio, Ernst Happel in Wien.
Stadiums worthy a final.

If this National Stadium had a warmup track beside it, where would it be placed at, to the east of the stadium, or somewhere else in the district due to space constraints?

Isn't there a warm-up track underneath the stands?

Looks like there is one nearby already (top of picture, next to the football pitch). There is certainly no space to build one any nearer.

^^ Nah. Granted, the roof really is stunning, but the rest of the stadium in Athens is crap! As for the one in Kiev, well, GMP did good. The stadium certainly has a degree of class that it once lacked. :)

Why you consider the rest of the Athens stadium crap? Because it lacks of mall or shopping center? Once entering the Athens stadium, you get immediately the wow factor just being inside the stadium, under the cable roof.

Has class but it doesnt come close to the Athens Olympic stadium. The bowl design is really good. Go see for yourself, book a ticket to Athens.

Says a Greek odf Polish descent who has not been to Kyiv :) Really, why is that so much of a fuss that someone thinks this stadium is better than Athens? I actually can sympathise with that, despite respecting the Athens stadium as something remarkable.

Great stadium for Athletics, pity it won't meet the needs of Dynamo or Arsernal in the future. Don't understand why in this day and age, football has to be watch in an athetic stadium especially a UEFA sanction final. Does the NBA or Super BOWL final venues have a running track around them???? Great roof, pity its not a Football stadium!!!

Because it just so happens that Ukraine or any country for that matter would be really stupid to build two different stadiums if none of them had a permanent tenant just to satisfy comments like these. If a country decides to build a representative stadium, they have the right to build a multi-discipline venue, not a football-specific one.

True, but doesn't it make more sense that they build a small athletic venue (25,000) that can be expanded and have a Football-specific for Dynamo and Arsernal??? I don't understand apart from World championships or Olympic games is athletics going to be able to fill it up??? Its a waste of resources to me like the the London Olympic stadium!!!

That's right. It would make much more sense for a seperate additional venue to be built that would have a 30-40k capacity and cater for athletics along with other sports as well as hosting concert events.

The Ukranian authorities made a mistake by including an athletics track in this 70,000 seater venue and are probably beginning to quietly regret it.

these comments are utterly ridiculous...the stadium was built 90 years ago, nobody decided to include a track just to waste resources because it was already there...

whether the decision to do a reconstruction vs. building a football only stadium instead is a different question...if dynamo or arsenal want a new stadium they should build one

Guys, I was at the stadium. For me... this stadium is simply magnificent. :cheers2:

Dynamo and Arsenal are planning stadiums redevelopments, when it happens this stadium will become another white elephant!!!

Correct a problem?? Some people see problems where there are none. This is an athletics stadium and was always meant to stay as such. You see, football is not the only sport out there. Furthermore, as a country, how do you expect to compete in international competition (i.e. Olympics, World and European Championships in NON FOOTBALL related events) when you don't have the infrastructure? And I am not even referring to hosting any of these evens (although Ukraine has already stated it would bid for the right to host the next World Championships in athletics http://www.insidethegames.biz/sports/summer/athletics/14615-bubka-expects-ukraine-world-athletics-championships-bid-within-few-years). But on a national level, how do you expect to develop and inspire your future generation of athletes if this is your attitude towards them? I hope it will be unnecessary for me to mention that given the history and size of this complex, Kyiv has always been the hub of such activity.

As to your white elephant comment: 1) Dynamo Kyiv will be playing all of its league matches for the next 5 years here, 2) the Ukrainian national team will be playing it's international matches here, 3) the stadium will likely become the go to destination for major concerts and non-sporting events

Finally, the stadium is government owed and the reconstruction was fully paid for by the tax payers. So, I could never understand the argumentation that some people have provided in the past when referencing Kyiv's football teams. That is, the government should "correct" a stadium which clearly is intended for wider use, just so an oligarch club owner can indulge his vanity. As I have mentioned previously, do not worry about the owners of DK or Arsenal. They have more money than any member on this forum would know what to do with in five life times. And all this talk about building or reconstructing their own stadiums, well, I'll believe it when I see it. There's absolutely nothing that's prevented DK from reconstructing the Lobanovsky Stadium in the last 20 years or Arsenal from building that much hyped arena for 50K.

The only ridiculous thing is that they didn't resolve the mistake that happened 90yrs ago. Kyiv Olympic stadium, common when is the IOC coming to town????
A history lesson: It already came to town when Moscow was the host city.

Dynamo and Arsenal are planning stadiums redevelopments, when it happens this stadium will become another white elephant!!!
Yeah, Arsenal with their astonishing 1,500 crowd avarage and Dynamo with their 8,500 would be a dream come true for a stadium this big...

[QUOTE=michał_;87869029]A history lesson: It already came to town when Moscow was the host city

I like the Sydney olympics. The main stadium becomes football mode and the outside former warm-up track stadium becomes a legacy feel good 25000 stadium for athletics.

In short every1 wins. Athetics gets their stadium, football gets the bigger stadium because sadly Michal they are the only ones capable in filling them. Granted marketing, football culture, sidelines etc etc must be all counted

^^

It's very difficult to try and explain these matters to people such as Ophizer and Michal. They are still under some strange illusion that athletics will put bums on most of the seats at the Kiev Olympic stadium.

Neverthless Romaz, I admire your tenacity in trying to make them see sense.

Everyone wins only on one condition. That you live in Sydney. And Kyiv is not located anywhere near there. In case you don't recall, let me remind you that the redevelopment of Stadium Australia took place for the simple reason of accomodating an oval field for Australian football and cricket.
Newsflash: it's still NOT a football-specific stadium and offers views similar to an olympic one despite retractable seating. Not mentioning the maintenance cost of these. The hell of a win-win for football...

"If you build it, he will comë" not taken from the film "Field of Dreams" but Juventus Della Empty stadio". Amazing what a football specific stadium does for attendences!!! Ask Juventus, Donesk, Bayern Muchen, all the Polska clubs etc etc.
Haha, yeah, ask all the Polska clubs. You mean Lech Poznan struggling for attendances just under 20,000 at a 43,000 stadium? Or maybe Lechia Gdansk with even lower crowds? Or maybe Wisla Krakow with not even 15,000 on a 33,000 stadium? If you build it, you have to fill it. And not having a track around the pitch is no solution to the problem in itself. There are clubs that have the potential and others that don't. The sole fact that you even compare Juventus or Man U to Arsenal Kyiv gives a good insight into how much you know about this.

no need to try, he wasn't interested in any discussion at all. Apparently just goes personal when not having anything interesting to say.

The point being made was that it was a mistake to retain the athletics track in a 70k capacity stadium. The stadium could have been redeveloped without the track.
Why no track?
The reason is that athletic events will not fill most of the seats in such a stadium and is therefore a waste of resources.
Understand a little beter now?

Anyway, I'm sure the vast majority of Ukrainians would much rather see Madonna perform at the stadium for example, rather than athletes running around a track.

nah, you're not a reader ONLY a writer :ohno:

I guess I'm going to have to repeat myself yet again: if one of the clubs had partnered with the government to redevelop the stadium and removed the tracks (and make it team specific etc) I would be 100% in agreement and defending that decision right now. But you see, unlike you, they don't seem to be losing much sleep over the tracks/no tracks debate. DK will be quite happy to be playing in a world class arena practically for nothing. I'm glad the tax payers didn't have to foot the additional costs associated with the conversion and, in fact, that would have been the "waste of resources" you speak of. Finally, and this is my personal opinion (but it was probably part of the overall decision making process by the authorities) every country needs a proper athletics/multi-use arena. Period.

Anyway, I'm sure the vast majority of Ukrainians would much rather see Madonna perform at the stadium for example, rather than athletes running around a track.

Unfortunately, you're quite right here. Ukrainians would much rather see a concert than watch a sporting event. Except that, it is also the case with football matches.

Talking about waste of resources - you know how much this redevelopment cost the Ukrainian people? And keep in mind, it was a cost that didn't include changing the stands, only the main one was built from scratch and lower tier had prefabs renewed. Now can you imagine building a football-specific stadium of this size from scratch at that location? And without having ANY tenant to play there afterwards? Now that would be a waste of resources.


Anyway, I'm sure the vast majority of Ukrainians would much rather see Madonna perform at the stadium for example, rather than athletes running around a track.
That said, concerts hosted by 'olympic' stadiums are not one bit worse than those at football-specific stadiums.

Every country needs a proper athletics/multi-use arena

Yes, and I will need a pair of binoculars to get "close to the action" when watching a match at the Kiev Olympic stadium.

Athletics and football in one venue make very awkward partners.

...without having ANY tenant to play there afterwards

Unless I've been misinformed, the main tenant would be the Ukraine national football team at the Kiev Olympic stadium. Would it not?

Concerts do not need tracks. In any case, the distance fom the back of the stands to the stage is too long for those sitting at or near the back of the stands in a stadium with tracks.
Its time to take those binoculars out again if your sitting there - this time to be able to see Madonna or whoever.

Unless I've been misinformed, the main tenant would be the Ukraine national football team at the Kiev Olympic stadium. Would it not?
National teams play less than 10 home game a year at home, of which only the most important would be able to fill this stadium. That cannot be a major tenant for any large stadium. Only one of the possible uses.

Its time to take those binoculars out again if your sitting there - this time to be able to see Madonna or whoever.
Of course concerts don't need tracks, just as they don't need a football field- that's pretty obvious. But honestly, if you complain about the visibility from the further stands in Kyiv then I assume you despise all open air festivals where people sometimes stand 200-300 meters from the stage without the advantage of having seated covered auditorium for their sake.


Does any of our Ukrainian colleagues at the SSC know details of the deal signed by Dynamo about the lease of this stadium? "Kyiv Post" wrote about them taking a 5-year lease over the venue, but would not give any details whether this concerns all games and/or all available seating...

Here's an interview with the managing director of NSC Olympic, it's in Ukrainian though, http://www.ukraine2012.gov.ua/news/182/51033/

quick synopsis:

1) the contract is for five years
2) DK will play all it's matches here, ie league matches, cup matches (including with teams from lower leagues), Champions and Europa League matches
3) interestingly, the management of the stadium wanted to ink a deal with a third team (read Arsenal) as well, but DK was insistent that they are the only tenant and were ready to walk away from the deal if this condition was not met. Their reasoning was that the pitch would not be able to handle three teams (DK, national team, Arsenal)
4) DK is responsible for all expenses associated with the matches; the revenue sharing is as follows: 50:50 for UPL games, 20:80 with the lager share going to the club for CL and EL
5) DK gets 7% from fast food take by the stadium

One point of concern, reading between the lines it seems that the deal does not even have an up front rental fee but is based on a game by game model. Obviously this is great for the club considering that they will be playing in a world class arena without having spent a penny on renovation. They have minimized their risks completely, especially if you take into account their miniscule attendance (~8K) and the capital intensive nature of building your own stadium. If you ask me, the club made out like a bandit here, and the fans should have no moral right to complain about the tracks because this will be reflected in the club's ticket pricing policies (tickets start at 10 hrynya, 1.25 dollars) for league matches.

Here's an interview with the managing director of NSC Olympic, it's in Ukrainian though, http://www.ukraine2012.gov.ua/news/182/51033/

quick synopsis:

1) the contract is for five years
2) DK will play all it's matches here, ie league matches, cup matches (including with teams from lower leagues), Champions and Europa League matches
3) interestingly, the management of the stadium wanted to ink a deal with a third team (read Arsenal) as well, but DK was insistent that they are the only tenant and were ready to walk away from the deal if this condition was not met.

Don't want to make a big deal about the track - its there so it will just have to be tolerated.

The rest of the stadium is impressive (especially the roof) and deserves to be holding the final match of the tournament.

At least the track will help in giving the final match of the tournament an epic feel - gargantuan and larger-than-life.

Michal: Where people sometimes stand 200-300 meters from the stage without the advantage of having seated covered auditorium for their sake.

When I go to a concert at a stadium I do not expect a Jarocin (Polish Woodstock/Glastonbury type festival).
These types of field events are fine for tent-life, making love, smoking dope, lying about on the grass – things you would generally not be doing in a stadium.

If I am unlucky enough to be sitting near the back of the stands in a stadium I want to see the performers on stage resonably clearly without the use of binoculars.

Everyone wins only on one condition. That you live in Sydney. And Kyiv is not located anywhere near there. In case you don't recall, let me remind you that the redevelopment of Stadium Australia took place for the simple reason of accomodating an oval field for Australian football and cricket.
Newsflash: it's still NOT a football-specific stadium and offers views similar to an olympic one despite retractable seating. Not mentioning the maintenance cost of these. The hell of a win-win for football...

That indeed sounds like a huge deal for Dynamo. At the same time - NSC were pretty much forced to get Dynamo to play there, without them this stadium would stand empty most of the time. Thus the grateful lease conditions. Or wasn't that the reason?

I agree. They had to make the deal and both are better off with the team playing here. I'm a DK fan; hopefully they can improve their play and do some damage in CL. That is probably the only way to sell out the stadium and ensure a higher revenue stream.

Having said that, it's hard to get the bitter taste out of your mouth when there's so much sense of entitlement and arrogance. This has a trickle down effect too: from the team's management, to the disregard of it's fan base, to its malaise on the field this past decade. This is especially evident when you are competing with a team like Shakhtar that is emulating the best practices from the western teams. A practice that includes, among others, investment in infrastructure and owning your own state of the art stadium.

So what happened to the idea of having a private stadium in Kyiv? I read about it just a few months ago and for what I understood a 25k (?) stadium was still a plan for Dynamo's long term future.

It got blown out of the water by guys like you thinking an Olympic track stadium was a solution. Now you have a government funded stadium hostage to a club, a bit like the London Olympic stadium begging for a viable tenant to share along with athletics. Its like putting a round peg in a square hole, never works.

Didn't understand your rambling of the first paragraph, everyone knows Sydney is not near Kiev. Great you know your geography. Lived in Sydney for 10 yrs and if you did your research properly you would have known that the retratable seating was done for Rugby League, the other sports were mere afterthoughts. Its not a football specific but comparing its views to an Olympic stadium is ridiculous. Just pointed out how Rugby League got their stadium by kicking out Athletics!!!!

[
Haha, yeah, ask all the Polska clubs. You mean Lech Poznan struggling for attendances just under 20,000 at a 43,000 stadium? Or maybe Lechia Gdansk with even lower crowds? Or maybe Wisla Krakow with not even 15,000 on a 33,000 stadium? If you build it, you have to fill it. And not having a track around the pitch is no solution to the problem in itself. There are clubs that have the potential and others that don't. The sole fact that you even compare Juventus or Man U to Arsenal Kyiv gives a good insight into how much you know about this.



Thats a big improvement for the Polish League isn't it???? Its about building for the future and marketing to have a football culture. Its about having the right infustructure in place and stopping a Seria A malaise of having a host of Italia 90 track stadiums that are wrong for clubs. It may work or blow up in their faces, but no one can say nowadays that those stadiums are counter productive for football. By the way I've never compared Arsenal Kiev to Man U or Juventus, you made that one up!!!!

The stadium is nice, I like the facade and the roof, but I simply can't like it overall because of it's big athletics track, maybe the upper tier can offer a good view of the field, for example, when I was in Barcelona, I had a good view from the top seats at Montjuic, but those "good view" seats were limited in number, top tier, center positioning...etc.

it's big athletics track

aren't athletic tracks dimenions fairly a standard ? Or are there any "small" athletic tracks :lol: ?

upd yep, a standard (http://www.iaaf.org/mm/Document/Competitions/TechnicalArea/04/63/95/20081202044225_httppostedfile_Fig_2.2.1.6a_Marking_Outdoor_7462.pdf)

Yes, there are non-Olympic athletics track or other things, this one is a Olympic big ass athletics track, making the stadium very unpractical for football.

Of course, it's still much better than Luzhniki, thanks to it's stands, but it still cannot compete with any other stadium without track from the Euro.

beautiful

^^
Yes, compared to Wembley the Kiev Olympic stadium is an architectural masterpiece.

Much more simpler, lighter and elegant.

I heard that approximately 37 thousand tickets were sold for the Dynamo Kyiv vs Arsenal Kyiv match. A lot of Ukrainian football fans tend to buy tickets right before the match so I reckon there will be about 45-60 thousands fans :)

They are already preparing the arena for Dynamo's first game on their new stadium :)

As of right now, there are plans for a different Ukrainian city to host winter olympics - Lviv. As for Kiev, a bit more work needs to be done.... but it definitely got a head start.

They should bid for the World Athletics championships. It would be far easier to host than the Olympics, which is stupidly bloated with unnecessary sports and would bankrupt most countires to put on nowadays!

Will the stairs get another colour? Or some kind of "treatment"? Maybe it´s just me but I don´t like the way they look.

I am going to vent a bit, and i want to let you know that i don't have anything personally against you.
First, great editing skills and nice video, you are obviously very gifted at editing and compiling videos.

But.... your video is horrible for what it is supposed to show. It is supposed to show the stadium, the atmosphere and game. The music you've put doesn't help us hear the atmosphere, hear that roar that we all love at football grounds. The effects u used doesn't allow us to see the stadium properly, or understand the game that was played. The colour and shaky effect don't help at all.

This is a problem that i constantly see with most soccer game highlight videos. I don't understand why people don't leave it in its original form, makes for a much better video and experience.

But i appreciate the effort in making that video

Thanks for your honest opinion. I know that I should have filmed a bit more of the stadium and that is something that I will keep in mind next time Il film a match. This video wasn't really meant to be a highlight video, I wanted to make it more of a trailer which is why I added some effects. The best highlights videos are the one's that are recorded on television.

Are you sure it's a LED Display for the EURO 2012 and what is the Black banners on the Low level ?

The signage next to the pitch is not LED, but the signage just in front of the stand is.

The signage next to the pitch is for me LED similar to the World Cup 2010
But I prefer No-Led Ad because with the sun it's dificult to see the ads !

Roof looks "arabic" to me or is an ukranian element?

you are aware you're meant to be watching the game and not the ad's right?

I was thinking the same. You look at the game, not the ads. At least me. :lol:

The seats is so addorable

Lol, exactly. Screw the ads, I say. The less of them I see, the better. Anyway, the stadium is really magnificent, and I can't wait for the tournament! :cheers:

Actually, It isn't new idea. The first one can be found in Kuwait city's largest stadium. I always think it will be useful for strong windy place (not sandstorm).

This is a "international element"=) ;)

I am surprised that Ukraine will only be playing 1 group game at this stadium, considering the huge capacity.

Amazing stadium! I like the blue running tracks very much.

:omg::drool: stunning!

better than berlin? its a close one!

Wow! Amazing as the national stadium. Dynamo still need their own proper place.

I love the mosaic style colour scheme of the seating so much! Easily my favourite recent trend in stadium architecture.

better than berlin? its a close one!

Nope. There is no such thing ;)

This stadium is better than in Berlin. He is more new and more modern and more beautiful.

Yes, much more modern. But the view is better in Berlin because the stands are steeper. And not many can say their stadium was built for Hitler. ;)

Newer? yes. More modern? Yes. I am very plesantly surpriced with this stadium, blue tracks kan make any stadium look a billion times better. But in terms of epic cinematicness and symmetry, there is and probably never will be a more elegant and breathtaking stadium than Berlin

true. they're both amazing stadiums but berlin still maintains that nazi era history that cannot be ignored. i shouldn't have asked such a stupid question anyways... lets just celebrate both :banana:

so what? you cant judge the design or the existence of a structure based on what era and by who it was built

many of moscows metro stations were built during the communist era, you cant deny their beauty though!

Yes, much more modern. But the view is better in Berlin because the stands are steeper. And not many can say their stadium was built for Hitler. ;)

But there are lots of places with obstructed view by pillars, supporting the roof.

well you just basically reiterated my point? berlin might not be as state of the art as kyiv but its beauty is in the fact that it is a modernized relic.

Really beautiful stadium, which is surely great for athletics and concerts, BUT is it any good for football? With the running tracks, isn't the spectators getting too far from the action?

I think this is the important point. The Kiev Stadium is incredibly beautiful, but the rake of the seating in the lower tier appears very shallow and combined with the extra distance an athletics track puts between the spectators and the pitch I feel the viewing experience will be reduced. This is a significant negative point for me.

This stadium is better than in Berlin. He is more new and more modern and more beautiful.

I'm not sure about how much more modern it is. When the Olympiastadion was renovated they didn't just add a couple of new seats after all.

They also put much more emphasis on architectural details. It's just so much more than a stadium. Still, I prefer Kiev's roof.

Well it's an olympic stadium so the question is kinda rhetorical, isn't it...
