Lately I've had some problems with my camera, so this time I post mobile quality photos (the last three using the zoom).

Want to make me a Christmas present? :D

Thanks so much for the updates! Keep them coming and perhaps you'll get that present... :laugh:

I have the feeling that they are building things faster in Spain these days than they do in Germany.

Great pace,I'm really lookin forward for that stadium :okay:

One bloody amazing stadium, really like its exterior and interior... Hope to be able to visit it one day!

But on another note, it's a pity that such a large-scale project has gone from the drawing board to the actual construction so quickly, while the new Anfield has been (and still is) in limbo for the past decade :S

Great shots HAL9000.
They are indeed very fast.
I also like the setting of the stadium. In a dense area, not in the suburbs like most new stadiums.

I'm very impressed with the pace of the project - especially over Christmas. This being Spain, is it possible that the height of summer may be more likely to slow down the progress?

I presume the digging down is to provide a few levels of underground parking - which an urban location would require more than if the ground had been located on the edge of town.

Like many projects featured on SSC before, the regular and frequent photo updates of this build make it an interesting and fascinating thread. I look forward to the next set of pictures!

Thanks, guys...

this is the best stadium design of new stadiums in Europe which will be built.
Also the redesign of the Camp Nou by Foster is not bad.

Agreed. It looks spot on for location.

Great stadium

:master::master::master: amazing, good for you guys. I didn't know they started building it i thought it was still just planned , when was the decision made ? . Keep posting can't wait to see progress , i'm gonna save all the pictures and make slide movie :lol:

I just can't wait for this to be finished, I'm going to go in the first season it opens. It's a wonderful stadium design.

I agree

So much done in a short amnount of time. If only all stadium constructs were done at this pace.

People of valencia-> congratulations because your stadium is for real :okay:

(Friday pics of Lille stadium [france] will be revealed!!!!!)

hola, me acabo de registrar en el foro pero vengo siguiendo los avances desde hace largo rato. Antes que que nada, lesdigo que estan haciendo un gran trabajo de seguimiento, los felicito!! que suerte tienen ustedes alla en europa de poder tener ese tipo de estadios, aqui en el tercer mundo los estadios estan viejisimos (por ejemplo el estadio de ferro, que todavia tiene gradas de madera.....). en fin muchas gracias por estas increibles fotos:D

Very nice! I can't match the accolade of "best" or "coolest" as others have, but it is certainly top tier and arguably among the best for the money and, likely, among the fastest completed. It'll be nice to see La Liga have another large, high-quality facility. Congrats!

BTW, has this helped the team with their attendance figures this year? I wonder if people are buying season tickets to be in line for orders when the new digs open, and to say goodbye to the old stadium.

Great info!

Stunning, a beautiful design and excellent work rate on top of that.
Will be incredible when it is done. This stadium will make the Allianz, New Liverpool Stadium and even Wembley look like shit.

Well done to the Valencianos for this amazing project.

What a lovely expression!
That's why I don't value Spanish or Catalunha football fans very high.
Quick to offend others and feel offended if the home club is a bit down.
Pathetic.

The new liverpool stadium will never be built, not by the yanks anyway.:)

I am neither, only interested in aesthetics and this stadium is superior in beauty than Wembley the Allianz and the drawings for the new Liverpool stadium. It might be hard for you to accept this coming from someone with no natural bias accept that of aesthetics but at the end of the day, who cares. If you can't accept that basic fact, life becomes very complicated.

Again, Well done to the Valencianos showing us their true style. :):)

Today has been announced that Valencia C.F. will build a 20-storey 5 stars hotel in the same plot, the project is being studied by Mark Fenwick, the architect od the stadium.

Here is a render of the volume of the hotel.

http://media.epi.es/www.levante-emv.es/media/fotos/noticias/646x260/2008-02-29_IMG_2008-02-22_01:17:55_vcf.jpg

And here, some renders of Mark Fenwick's design for Hercules Stadium in Alicante (it is not Valencia's one although they are quite similar)... with a hotel too.

http://www.landmadrid.es/index_archivos/image006.jpg http://www.landmadrid.es/index_archivos/image008.jpg

Oh. Oh. You posted something in, gasp, Spanish. Hope your post doesn't disappear!

I don't like the tower so close to the stadium.

Btw is the Hercules project approved? What's the cap?

Stunning, a beautiful design and excellent work rate on top of that.
Will be incredible when it is done. This stadium will make the Allianz, New Liverpool Stadium and even Wembley look like shit.Given the angle you take in your post that follows, I'm curious as to how you're reaching this opinion. What do you find about this design that is so superior to Allianz, etc.? Especially if you're talking about aesthetics then I find it hard for you to call something bad. Either you like it or don't, but you can't measure personal aesthetic appeal as either good or bad, let alone "like shit."

I don't like the tower so close to the stadium.

Same...

Great stadium. From the renders, reminds me a bit of upgraded FNB stadium in South Africa.

Especially if you're talking about aesthetics then I find it hard for you to call something bad. Either you like it or don't, but you can't measure personal aesthetic appeal as either good or bad, let alone "like shit."

You can, perhaps it is the 'like shit' comment that offends your political correctness, but either way you sound like a computer crashing. For me, this stadium is superior aesthetically to the three other stadiums I mentioned. I am allowed to do this and believe passionately in it. What exactly is your malfunction with my statement? You want me to explain why the new Wembley was so bland they had to add a crane like structure in the shape of an arch to at least add some sort of character? Would you like to know why the Allianz which looks like someone has broken a lava lamp over a tire is not beautiful to me? The Liverpool stadium I will not even start on as there is so much unattractive about it imo.

Now this Valencia stadium IMO is a beautiful piece of design. Original, modern, sleek, I love its name across the side - very Catalan/Valenciano to advertise like this, it is more than a stadium for football. It is a beautiful structure that reminds us of firstly the huge architectural heritage of Valencia and indeed all the Costa Brava, the love of football of this community, the attention to detail and finally the natural beauty of the actual design. Now a politically correct person would simply say - 'I think, the new Liverpool stadium ect perhaps got it wrong when you compare it to the new Valencia stadium.' Me, considering the money, boastful nature of these previous stadium - plus how ugly they all look, I myself, not politically correct - not at a dinner party with ambassadors, but on an internet forum can simply say - 'they will be made to look like shit when the new Valencia stadium is finished.' And I stand by that.

And I stand by that. Pardon me for trying to figure out what you're basing your opinion on. :ohno: I was simply looking for a qualifier as to what you saw in this stadium that not only was to your liking but in turn put the others to shame. Such reasoning sounds like inherent bias rather than architectural criticism. I agree the arch at Wembley is contrite, but my opinion of Wembley is based on Wembley, not the Mastella. And seeing as I find the Mastella less than original or dynamic I wanted to learn if there was something more that I was missing. I guess on one level I didn't get the response I'd hoped for, but on another I found what I was looking for. Thanks for, um, discussing.

but my opinion of Wembley is based on Wembley, not the Mastella.

Good for you, I however am able to compare stadia. I compared you to a computer as a joke, now I see I was actually skirting around the reality of your binary mind. I am also able to compare stadiums, I did. You first told me I cannot compare them on Aesthetics (:nuts:) - I proved I could. I stated - only briefly why I do not like these stadia as I already sensed your mind was in overload when telling me I could not compare the aesthetics in the first place. Now you come back with bias? :)

I don't like arguing with broken Macs - man - reboot and then perhaps download a programme that explains that humans are capable of making choices on aesthetics and then - even comparing the results without being bias, in a swimming pool or any other stupid excuse your corrupted binary tries to resolve the obvious with.

If none of this works, you may have caught a virus, try this (http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/premium_services/premium_virus.jsp). Only when I am sure your harddrive is clean will I engage you with more details about how unimaginative 'The Home of Football' is if you wish to discuss further.

Nationalistic? That is the love of one country. Which country am I nationalistic for? Please show me and feel free to quote my past posts. i think you will find it is more than one unfortunately for your nationalist argument. But feel free to ignore my 'bias' post on aesthetics of stadia - its only fair, whenever i smell someone politically correct like yourself, i throw up in my mouth a little.

Now you come back with bias? :) I never said you couldn't compare aesthetics. I simply wanted to better understand how the aesthetics of one stadium made the other look bad. Didn't mean for it to be a painful exercise and the bias comment was simply a guess based on what was left me. Surely if my mind was as binary as you're presuming I wouldn't have bothered trying to learn about another random human's opinions on aesthetics, now would I?

You should stick with more stuff like this:
I love its name across the side - very Catalan/Valenciano to advertise like this, it is more than a stadium for football. It is a beautiful structure that reminds us of firstly the huge architectural heritage of Valencia and indeed all the Costa BravaThanks at least for this constructive reference as it made me research such cultural aspects. May the end result bring you as much joy as the renderings.

Meanwhile, I'll go "reboot." :cheers:

great photos aCiDMinD81

wow i gotta say it's really moving at a pace and this will be one nice stadium

Stunning, a beautiful design and excellent work rate on top of that.
Will be incredible when it is done. This stadium will make the Allianz, New Liverpool Stadium and even Wembley look like shit.

Well done to the Valencianos for this amazing project.

while i respect your opinion.I too like this stadium very nice design,But i must disagree with the like Sh** comment i'm english yes and i've been to new wembley and i have to say pics do not do it justice it is an amazing place the sheer scale is mind blowing the facillities are absolutly top notch and the atmosphere inside when full is amazing plus i imagine the allianz would be the same to a point but can't say more as i haven't been as for the new liverpool fc stadium design i wouldn't say it's sh** but i certainly don't think it fits in with english stadia it's too american.Back to the nou mestalla yes maybe the design looks nicer from an outside view perspective that i agree but to judge anything you actually have to be there to judge it better.Just my opinion.

I saw the stadium from the sky today coming back from the Netherlands flying to Alicante. It was clearly visable, Massive thing. Also saw the estadio de la communidad Valencia from Levante (nice colours...) en El Madrigal from Villarreal. cool... (more or less)

The pace of the construction works on this stadium, as depicted in this thread with all these photos, is constantly impressing me! I mean you have a world-class stadium that is being built astonishingly fast! I mean you can feel the passion of the people that are making it happen! Valencianos are realy to be respected for this!

Thank you for the pix.

I could cry when I see how fast your stadium grows.. compared to our stadium... :ohno:


respect

it doesn't look finished

Cant wait for this to be finished. When I visited the old Mestalla, it was such a huge dissappointment. Even the club shop was tiny. This though is going to be truly amazing.

AvFenix, thanks for the pics.

GS fans compare this cocntruction with our own construction.
They say "look, in some months our stadium will look look like tis" :D

How many car lots will it have?

How many car lots will it have?
3,100 (2,600 of them for general supporters, the rest for VIPS and players).

However they were studying to build 1,400 aditional ones.

Damn, our architects said 10% of the capacity is minumum.
Therefore we changed our project and now we have a delay of 40 days :(

Thanks a lot

Have a look at this great link (http://www.futuromestalla.com) with construction pictures update (http://www.futuromestalla.com/galeria/index.php?level=album&id=6&plog_page=8) and some vids (http://www.futuromestalla.com/videos.php)
...surprised nobody has posted this yet!

thanks a lot
3rd tier hamburg stadium :D
http://www.futuromestalla.com/Images/campo1.jpg

Is it me or is the outside fantastic but the inside all so familiar. Fair play for the speed it's being erected, in the UK we would still be arguing about planning

Nowadays all new stadiums have a similiar interior because of the sightlines
You can just add a ovel last tier like da luz, or a soft oval last tier like Allianz
Valencia has got this special 3rd tier

this is awesome , the stadium willl be finished in 2 months :D :D

I somehow doubt that...

just a joke my friend , c'mon :D

Anyway it's true Nuevo Mestalla is being builit at an incredible speed that makes people think it will be finished in 2 months.

Going up...

Looks brilliant and such quick progress, they dont mess about not like Liverpool

Sorry to say, but it looks like it will be the finest stadium in the Segunda...

lol :D I don't think Valencia is going to Segunda :D They are 15/20, yes, also 2 points ahead of the 18th (first place to go to Segunda), but I wish they don't go, they are a historical club in Spain's football! Even they just won the Copa del Rey.

Valencia made us realize the truth that a good coach can not make a bad team into a good team but a bad coach can make a good team into a bad team.

This forum is so lucky to have a member who lives right in front of Nou Mestalla and has a fantastic carmera and photo shooting techniques as well. What a coincidence!

how many hours per day they work at the stadium?

From Monday to Friday they work 14 hours from 8 AM until 10 PM. On Saturdays, from 8 AM to 15 PM.

how many workers are there?
I really don't know but at least 200 workers just in the plot

thanks a lot
You should sell your pics to Valencia CF :D

progress is really amazing :okay:

if you only think about the stadium then it is a dream place for a football fan, but if you think about the noise created by the construction then you'll maybe think u r not supposed to be there.

Cool photos and nice location where you live:):)

The surroundings are as fantastic as the arena itself :okay:

I stayed in that Novotel in 2004 i think, and remember thinking what the hell is all that space over the road. Has this site been palnned for years? Come to think of it there was a lot of empty space in Valencia - are they planning to build over all the grassy fields around this area?

Are they upgrading the metro station there cos from what i remember it was pretty small.

Also done up that roundabout too!

Yes, of course this has been planned. There was projected to build a sport facility in that area since 1987. All the neighbourhood is being built since 1999, there was just weeds until then and the main road, nowadays a fantastic boulevard. The sculpture in the roundabout was finished in January 2007.

Thera are not grassy fields already, all of them have finished buildings or in progress.

Congratulations to Valencia for staying at Primera Liga! I was really nervous that we might see this gorgeous stadium in Segunda. I'm not joking :ohno:

I think normal quick, but ı ask a question...

When will be finish outside front...

They are really fast on constrcution.
:)

And in the middle of the city. Very nice!

What is it going on in selling out the site for the current stadium? I heard in Korean football commuity that they are having troubles with it because of the recent bubble burst of real estate in Spain...

What is it going on in selling out the site for the current stadium? I heard in Korean football commuity that they are having troubles with it because of the recent bubble burst of real estate in Spain...Yeah, it's not the best moment at all for selling a site since the real state boom is over and prices are starting to fall. Many real state companies are having hard times amd not many people dare to make such a big investments.

Valencia planned to sell the 5 plots in the old Mestalla for €400 million and erase his current debt of nearly €270 million. However, Valencia's largest shareholder had to buy the first plot by himself because no company accepted to pay the €90 million the club wanted. It seems nobody will pay that price for the other 4 pots and Valencia need money to pay the new stadium.

Hope everything get solved asap, cause I can't wait to see Nou Mestalla finished.

It's growing fast, nice. I really want to see it finnished.. i love the design of this stadium. :okay:

Two killed in Valencia stadium construction collapse

Both the fatalities are South American workers.

Two workers have been killed and two more injured in an accident at the construction of the new Mestalla stadium for Valencia football club. Part of a scaffolding around one of the new pillars for the stadium collapsed leading one man to fall a distance of 12 metres. The other fatality was underneath the collapsing structure which had an estimated weight of 3000 kilos, and firemen rescued a third worker who had become trapped in the collapse.

Emergency services were called to the scene at 11am this morning. Around 50 of the other workers at the site helped out in the rescue operation.

The two dead are both South American workers, named as 38 year old Luis Medano Sinchuguano Toapanda and 24 year old Nelso Rocha. The most seriously hurt man is Spanish, Enrique Pradas Franco.

A statement from the architect of the stadium, Alejandro Escribano, is expected later. Work on the new stadium started on August 1 and the 75,000 seater was to have been completed for the 2009-10 season.

:ohno: :ohno:

wow that really is unfortunate...my condolences

I am deepy sorry for the familes

Safety is & always the number one priority, :ohno:

Its sad, but things like this do happen.

RIP :(

Deep condolences for the two deceased.

4 people died

Thats very sad, these things i guess happen from time to time i just hope it was a freak accident and not negligence, also I hope they do something at the stadium in their memory.

bad news , :(

They should either:

Name a stand after one of them or put a statue outside the stadium

post replies what you think

I guess a plaque at least.

A Yesterday I spent in the area to make some pictures of how the system works. For the moment being slowed by what the investigation into the fatal accident:

Slightly more than half a kilometre further north, next to Conference Center, there is the Sorolla Center:

great images

The speed of construction on this fantastic stadium is astonishing. They are only constructing about 1 year now?

Works began in August 2007 and should be completed in June 2009.

I hope this terrible accident makes people there realize that speed is not the only thing that matters. Safety comes first!

The accident has nothing to do with the speed of the works. The investigations point to a defective part.

Woww amazing...

im jus wondering are valencia planning to do anything interesting with the seating any patterns or faces in the seats for example?

^^ A bat

Looks like a toilet seat lol.

a bat? Toilet seat?

imagine if valencia got relegated

construction is very fast Great pitcures

a bat?

http://www.hertzio.com/escudo.valencia.JPG

o, ooo, a bat would be cool, doubt they do it though.

Didn't you know that a bat is symbol of Valencia CF?

Actually its the symbol of the city
Levante UD (another sports club in Valencia)

Thanks for the info, sercan

i didn't know

The bat ("Lo Rat Penat" in Valencian) is the emblem of the city, and is present in various buildings, and is also the emblem of various sports associations of the city:

Levante has gone down to Segunda, so it's a great pity that we cannot see a bat derby for sometime...

amazing progress.

Which design do you prefer?

^^ They're made by some fans in another website.

Great stadiums designs

I like this one
http://www.futuromestalla.com/votar/gradas/murcielago1.jpg

But thats because i love when colors like Orange are used allot to stand out.

http://www.futuromestalla.com/votar/gradas/murcielago1.jpg

this one is definately the best for me good colors, good seating designs and not over the top either. does any one know when it will be known for sure what the seating design is going to be?

this one is like Valencias kit
http://www.futuromestalla.com/votar/gradas/Bicolor_BN.jpg

white jersey
black short
white socks

one of the best stadium renders I have ever seen. :banana:

i think they definetly have to put a bat, but the orange is too bright, i think white, black and grey would be better

Thet cant put black and grey, the stadium would look too dull.

it needs orange, it might be to bright but it adds to the Home field advantage, i love it!

i cant believe valencia nearly got relegated last season a club that size would never finish outside the top 10 in england i guess thats why the spanish league is more exciting.
i read that valencia has a debt value of something like £100+ million how is the money situation at valencia i can imagine missing out on the champions league will have a big effect and with this new stadium being built im guessing money is tight will valencia have to sell some of their star players to level the books?

Brilliant stadium. I hope Valencia does well so I can catch them (and this venue) on television.

The bat is great, outlining one in the seats is very cool. :cheers:

What picture are you talking about?

Previous page, all the seat color possibilities.

Something like this if the club chooses to do so.

http://www.futuromestalla.com/votar/gradas/murcielago1.jpg

Isn't it roof?

i think the seats will be white just like their shirt

I'd like orange-black-orange combination. White seats make stadia look ugly

I think those are seat colors.

White looks good if they can keep it clean. Orange looks great.

i like orange stand out and it has been proven that it spreads better to so it would make the stands look bigger but hopefully you wont see the seats as the stands will be full.
im trying to think of a stadium that has mainly white seats and i cant think of anything can anyone think of one ?

athens olympic stadium for one, all white seats!

think valencia can sell all their seats? they've been struggling and they'll probably lose villa and silva

^^^
well they averaged 40,711 last season which was an increase of 0.8% on the previous season. In Spain teams dont fill up their stadiums every game there are a number of reasons for this but im not quite sure were to start. My guess would be that their attendances would fall a little but nothing major just probably to something between 36-40,000 and that when they move into nou mestalla that attendances will rise to around 55-60,000 but thats a guess from someone who lives in england so dont take that for sure.

A big reason is also that in Spain the average season ticket holder doesn't attend every game. Season tickets are much cheaper than buying a single ticket in every game.
Valencia for example has far more than 40'000 ST-holders and a long waiting list.

45.000 ST-holders, and 15.000 in waiting list

Considering new stadiums attracts more people (especially if its as spectacular as this one) they could probably sell 70k+ tickets to season ticket holders alone.

2 possibles combinations of colours.

Both of those two colour combinations are great i didn't expect to like a multi coloured stadium. Dunno if any of you see this but with the change in colours and correct me if I’m wrong but the stadium is Allianz Arena right? For me with those two colour combinations instead of the dull boring grey it looks bigger to me.

Hi guys, i think about the attendance, that there are many points to think that with new stadium we will get an acceptable attendance average.
I think too, probably this stadium will be bigger than we need for 5/10 years, but cant forget that this is a project for the next 100 years at least. Valencia is growing very fast, and is necessary to think about the future.

And now, thers a waiting list about 15.000 people, and with future capacity the club will can do many promotions for example at schools etc..

More and more, last year we'd have a bad season, but new coach has get an extraordinay motivation for players and suporters, so i think we can get about 60.000/65.000 holders for the next two years, wich allows "only" 10.000/15.000 seats to sell each game.

Whether or not for you to see a stadum filled with spectators in Spain is not a matter of whether or not for tickets to be sold out but a matter of whether or not for all ST holders to show up in the stadium.

@Cocteau: Fantastic update of this magnificant stadium. Architecturally it is the best football stadium (or for our American friends: soccer stadium) in Europe for me, and probably also in the world! There are many very nice and very good other venues around, but sofar this one looks to me to be the best stadium.

It will be hard to beat this, though not impossible. It will be even harder to match the speed of the constructing process. Unbelievable!

When will sale planing the new stadium all season ticket?

Now they're repositioning the actual holders. I think will wait next summer to begin the sells..

with this stadium, Valencia will be a bigger club.
