Not bad, i hope they stick to the idea of green glass as part of a roof.

it will be ready in 2013

Yeah, I like green roof as well

it will be ready in 2013

No, late 2010, early 2011

No, late 2010, early 2011

yeah right just like donetsk, dnipro and kiev all on schedule:ohno:

Is this a renovation or reconstruction of the old stadium?

Is this a renovation or reconstruction of the old stadium?

No, it's an entirely new stadium.

yeah right just like donetsk, dnipro and kiev all on schedule:ohno:

I don't care whether they are on schedule to their original opening dates, as long as everything is finished before 2012. There's plenty of time for that for all the stadiums :)

And how can it be 2013, after the Euro? :lol: at the very latest it will be opened right when Euro begins in 2012, the last few months there'll be so much pressure around the arena that the construction will be accelerated to unimaginable, you know how it always is in Ukraine, everyone waits till the very end. But what are you so concerned about, look at London, they haven't even started anything :cheers:

Its impossible to do business in Russia and Ukraine, they make China and Greece look fast.

Looks good, hope to see some renders of the interior soon.

http://ebpo.com.ua/ukr/images/libraryarena.jpg

Looks great !!!

It looks like the cars from Total Recall.

How many people will it be able to hold?

somebody correct me if I'm wrong but it should be 40 000 net capacity, meaning approximately 42-45 000. (?)
Which makes the 30-35 look strange, at least to me...

Burislav- did Albert Wimmer really take part in Allianz Arena? I haven't found this in his portfolio, but he has done Klagenfurt, Salzburg and Innsbruck as well from what I found. Veronika- maybe some light on that, please? :)

And from ZIK.com.ua:

Construction of Euro-2012 stadium in Lviv to kick off only in December

May20200820:36
A stadium in Lviv to host the Euro-2010 finals is to be completed by June 2010. The construction project will take 20 to 24 months to implement. UEFA has approved such schedule, head of Lviv city council Euro-2012 department Oleh Zasadny told journalists May 20.

We live in a law-abiding state, and no one cancelled the time-taking permits procedures. All the required documents of the design project have been submitted to the ministry of emergencies and the sanitary service of Ukraine. Unfortunately, the cabinet promised to simplify investment procedures, but nothing has been done yet. That is why we have appealed to the oblast government to petition the economy ministry to accelerate the issuance of permits, Oleh Zasadny explained.

In October 2007, Oleh Zasadny told ZIK that the stadium construction would start in March-April 2008. Simultaneously, during the forum of investors in Lviv in the fall of 2007, Mayor Sadovyj assured that the construction would begin in the spring of 2008.

Comment by ZIK
“Zasadny assured me that Euro-2012 stadium construction will start in July, but I felt that he sounded very pessimistic,” said Lviv lawmaker and head of city council commission on sports Yury Kardashevsky, speaking to ZIK May 20.
“When I asked Zasadny why the start of the construction was rescheduled from June to July, I got the impression that city officials can’t wait to see Euro-2012 tournament moved away from Lviv,” the lawmaker noted.
Yury Kardashevsky said that only preparatory design work is being done by the Alpina company, while it is still unclear where the funding for the stadium construction will come from.






Anybody can explain how implementation that starts in December 2008 and lasts 20-24 months can end in June 2010?! for me it's more like 2010/2011...

Where did you get the source about the net 40K capacity? The article you've attached doesn't mention it...

As i know Alpine built the Allianz Arena
Actually there was also a scandal
Alpine gave money to the clubs to "win" the bid for the conctruction

im undecided on this one

Where did you get the source about the net 40K capacity? The article you've attached doesn't mention it...
That was the capacity given to Stadion Ukraina's previous design. At least by Polish E2012 office...

By Polish Euro2012 office???????????? This is a Ukraine stadium!!!!!!!!!!!!

no way. my God, what went wrong?! Oh wait, yeah, now I remember- we lost Lviv some time ago...
In case you don't know we CO-host the tournament, which means the organizing committees cooperate and exchange information. Official website of BOTH candidates (at least in Polish version) gave the stadium 40k, or at least I'm pretty sure it did.

Guys relax the final design is not in yet its suppost to be decided today in Lviv!

Burislaw - any more of these? And some official source maybe?

I copy-pasted from ukrainian forum, I don't know where that user got it from. Construction starts this year is all I know.

This is the latest article I think:

^^ Could you translate it?

capacity 33,500?

Yes.

^^ Could you translate it?

I thought it would be easy for Poles to read, since its in Latin not Cyrillic.

33,500 capacity
350 vip
1 593 parking lots
600 sq/m of parking for TV vans, trucks and other media vehicles

Here are two huge photographs of the maquattes:

I would rank it above Dnipro stadium among Ukrainian arenas. It certainly has character :)

The stadium is really nice and I also like the semi transparent roof. :okay:
But aren't 1593 parking spaces way too little? What's the catch?

I don't know, maybe there will be more public parkings around and these are just under the stadium jurisdiction? :)

1593 are only for the VIP sector. Pf course there will be more:)

P.S. Construction is expected to commence in 30-45 days.:)

Can't wait to see the beginning of the construction, this is the last arena in Ukraine where nothing is going on on the ground

Fantastic stadium! Especially the glass part on roof.

Also, cool stadium. For me he is second on the list of the best stadiums in Ukraine. Looks very interesting :) Good luck in the building

After long bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo, construction began yesterday. They will work in three shifts, day and night. Completion date is June 2010.

Completion estimated at 1%

The project of stadium in Lviv is great. It's extremely well the stadium is gonna be for football only. Thanks for recent photos from construction site.

Recently a rather reliable (of all, I would say this one is) Polish newspaper claimed that Ukraine is going to cut off Lviv and focus on the other cities. It is said that Chorzow in Poland would step in and change the proportions to 5/3 "in favor" of Poland. This is still only a press speculation for me - anyone knows it firsthand? - from Ukrainian press I mean

No offense, but Polish press is becoming a subject for jokes in Ukraine. It's not very reliable :)

A decision has been made that 6 cities will compete for 4 positions on equal terms, there are no longer reserve cities in Ukraine. Lviv has equal chance with other cities, especially now due to the rapid construction of the stadium and progress with the new airport terminal.

I could find it in ukranian, but not sure if that will help you. But it's common knowledge now in Ukraine that "reserve" statuses were dropped for two cities, and all 6 are competing on equal terms with each other.

50% of foundations are complete

By end of April foundations of different sides will get connected with one another.

I could find it in ukranian, but not sure if that will help you.

I'm Ukrainian so I can speak and read the language. I just haven't heard of this.

So go to Ukrainian section of the forum and look through the pages, I think it was either at Інфраструктура thread or/and at the Kharkiv stadium thread. In any case, in a few months final 4 cities will be decided, but other stadiums will continue getting built - they're not going to stop the construction.

If the new stadium's name is Stadion Ukraina, what should be done to the old Stadion Ukraina? I hpe the old stadium was torn down to make way for this one.

Whats that supposed to be?? :no:

I have no idea, I'm not an engineer, but my guess is supporting foundations? :)

I like the design - a really original and innovative one. It'll surely be one of most interesting 30k stadiums!

very, very slow progress...

Lviv will have to go hurry if the city wants to host a game of the 2012 Euro.
It remains five months to convince the UEFA. It's short time.

very, very slow progress...

No offense to Poland, but they don't even have one stadium completed, Ukraine has almost 3 completed stadiums, one of them which is already completed. Also they are not even close to having even one stadium complete.

^^
But it isn't significant at present, in 2010 in Poland 3 stadiums will be ready (Poznań, Gdańsk, Wrocław) and in 2011 will be ready National Stadium in Warsaw. Stadiums are reaching it in Cracow (2010), Chorzów (2011). You have one ready stadium (congratulations for Donetsk, wonderful object), but not entirely it is obvious whether it will be there EURO.
----
Construction of the building in Lvov lasts since November 2009 and what's more there are no ready foundations. Construction of the stadium of the Legia Warsaw lasts since January 2009, and how many they already built apparently at once (about the similar capacity, in addition the stadium of the Legia will have stadiums more complicated structure).

By the end of 2010, all of the stadiums in Ukraine will be ready

Only it does not matter in terms of organization of EURO 2012.
The construction of stadiums in Poland will take a little longer, but places will be much better and bigger than those in Ukraine (it's not all about cap, but the area under stands). Moreover, the difference in the projects you can see at a glance.

Piotr, stop the auction of who's better, we're one team. How on earth can you know whether Legia's stadium will be more complicated? Did you work with either (or both) Albert Wimmer or JSK on any of these projects? I don't think so. Why the need to show off then?
You're clearly talking crap about comparing non-sport uses of the stadiums. How, again - on earth, can you ever compare Wroclaw to Donetsk when Wroclaw had it's business space reduced to close-to-none because there was no need for anythign more. Our stadiums will be ready later because they're being built for public money only, we don't have the likes of Akhmatov, Jaroslavskij or Privat Group who stand behind the works in Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk and Kharkiv. It's not our scale...

Yes thats right everything you do is going to be much better then what we do because you are a superpower of the world and for Ukraine to compete against such a nation is completely ridicules :nuts:

Thats actually true :) i love Dynamo. im looking forward to see the new french player thats comin to Dynamo :banana:

who is new Dynamo's signing, I am also Dinamo's fan, but Dinamo Zagreb :lol:

Come down everyone, stadiums are not an issue here, infrastructure is. I'm not worried about the stadium in Lviv, I'm more worried that the airport reconstruction is complete, new hotels are built, and public transportation is updated and extended. This is where Poland is much farther ahead then us... Ukraine.

I do agree but the crisis does slow down the progress of Ukraine's preparations. But yes there are huge improvements of the infrastructure and stadiums in Ukraine, yet they do need more work so we will be able to co-host this tournament with Poland.

I agree, oh and also for the Olympic stadium in Kiev, if they wouldn't have started to build that shopping center in front of the stadium, i bet that they would have been working on the roof of the stadium by now, because they wasted a HUGE amount of money.

I'll be in Lviv in a few days, hopefully I'll get to take some pics.

It is actual.

This is how one of the sides of the stadium looks like so far.

This is how one of the sides of the stadium looks like so far.

It looks the same as 3 months ago. :)

No, they started that side of the foundations like less than a month ago

But according to the timetable they should finish foundations 2 months ago.

Ok yes they were supposed to be completed with the foundations 2 months ago, but still the construction is speeding up. Everything will be completed by December 2010.

I keep my fingers crossed!

I keep my fingers crossed!

I bet that every Ukrainian who loves football is also keeping their fingers crossed, including me :D

They have finally started to fill up those metal bars with concrete for the steps that will soon be installed on the stadium.

http://cam.uar.net/cam1/cam.jpg?0.07250938258723605

If the new stadium's name is Stadion Ukraina, what should be done to the old Stadion Ukraina? I hpe the old stadium was torn down to make way for this one.

This stadium should receive a new name soon, and no the old stadium wasn't torn down, this new stadium is being built in a completely new location. They might reconstruct the old stadium in like 5-10 years or so.

Please dont post direct links to webcams:)

1. Webcam runs slower.
2. When I am visiting forum at 11 p.m there is nothing more than a black screen:D

^^Well then visit it during the day or in the morning ;)

I was wondering for a second!

The website of the webcam of this stadium has changed, so here is another link where they show both webcams at the same time http://stadion.lviv.ua/ua/item/1

The stadium will be very nice and probably one of my favorite ones in Ukraine... but why is the construction site so empty? I mean... where are all the workers? Because I didn't saw any of them on that photos. I hope they are still working on the stadium.

After long bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo, construction began yesterday. They will work in three shifts, day and night. Completion date is June 2010.

:lol:

I am curious, what is the problem ?
Good, that this is small structure and not difficult to construction and you can even build in a year so there is no big threat.

The works will really speed up once they will start to install on the steps, but still they need to fill up those metal bars with concrete. I wouldn't say that this stadium would be completed by June 2010, I think like October 2010 looks like the right date of the completion of this stadium.

I don't know what the problem is and I don't even know if the current pace of construction is considered slow. Have you built many stadiums in your life?

I don't know what the problem is and I don't even know if the current pace of construction is considered slow. Have you built many stadiums in your life?

Today, the message came from your people responsible of preparation, that the delay is 3 months relative to schedule.
http://korrespondent.net/euro/937551

As for how many stadiums I have built, maybe one of the lego blocks, why you ask ?

^^ It says its less than 3 months.

Officials said that delay is related to the most complex element only - foundation of the western stands. And current delay does not affect the schedule in general.
http://stadion.lviv.ua/ua/item/105#cnew (http://translate.google.com/translate?&sl=uk&tl=en&u=http://stadion.lviv.ua/ua/item/105#cnew)

Officials have to say samething in their defence. But if you look at the webcams in the middle of the work day, you can see only few workers. This is main reason of the delay.

Some new photos from the west stand of the stadium:

great updates. they should speed up the construction sooner or later

For last 6-7 days the number of workers at the construction increased and they even started working at night (though not sure if all night long). And you can follow the progress on web-cams.

Situation on 21 August 2009 was such (http://ukraine2012guide.com/index.php?option=com_joomgallery&func=viewcategory&catid=43&Itemid=63&lang=en), also those (http://ukraine2012guide.com/index.php?option=com_joomgallery&func=viewcategory&catid=44&Itemid=63&lang=en) are the machines that are currently involved in reconstruction.

great updates. lets home they speed up the construction even more

Yes, it's not going very fast, but it is continuously under construction and if it is opened even 8 months late, it's not going to be a problem. I'd like them to speed things up anyway, of course :)

so... http://www.champion.com.ua/euro2012/4abb3a299d36c/

^^
it was a hoax, uefa officials didn't make such a statement

^^
it was a hoax, uefa officials didn't make such a statement

How do you know that? Reliable link please.

^^

A hoax? Someone must have gone through a lot of trouble for a hoax like that.

Taking into consideration commencement date and its size, construction of this stadium should currently look more or less like that: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=716988&page=8 :ohno:
Stadium in Warsaw according to schedule will be completed in January 2011. Comparing pace on both construction sites it's easy to come to conclusion that opening of the Lviv's stadium before Euro2012 is in serious threat.

How do you know that? Reliable link please.

I check all the UEFA statements and they've never made it, on the contrary all the latest ones were positive. Your link to a second-rate online newspaper gives an anonymous source for their information.

Contractor to build stadium for Euro 2012 in Lviv firm Azovintex "has completed the concrete columns on the west and north-east of the stadium stands. On the west stand was built 48 columns, and the northeast - 34. Reported "objectively" the press service of the Lviv City Council.

"In general, the columns in the west of the future of football stadiums are located in rows 6 to 8 pieces in each of them" - says the director of the Lviv branch of Azovintex Igor Semenov. Currently are working on concrete columns south-eastern and south-west stands.

http://obk.lviv.ua/news/img/271f0ec5bcd8ac66bacdc3a25a0174ed.jpg

There are three years to complete it, that's twice as more than enough.

^^
They have maximum 2 years to complete it. UEFA won't risk to have one of the venues opened a few weeks before the tournament...
Now they are late a few months according to the schedule
http://city.lviv.ua/upload/EURO%202012/stadium/hrafik_budivnyctwa_stadionu.gif
Even it they sped up now they would be late those few months.
If they don't speed up now Lviv will be eliminated.

Yes, the construction is 2 months behind schedule, I don't think that it's catastrophic to eliminate Lviv though.

^^
Winter is coming, concrete works during frosts are problematic (it increases costs a lot). They've lost summer for concrete works, now they're loosing autumn. If Lviv doesn't speed up works now, UEFA will eliminate it. They have exceeded schedule, and still have problems with financing. The only way to convince UEFA is to prepare reliable cost evaluation, provide full financing, speed up construction and present new schedule before the November.
I hope, politicians will make up their minds after all.

All this nonsense is thanks to government intervention in the construction of this stadium... they should've kept Odesa instead, where construction is going faster, the stadium is larger and it's all private-financed.

^^
A few months ago it seemed that Lviv hadn't been doing that bad. UEFA officials aren't aware of what's going on under skin in Ukrainian politics. They may not understand, that politicians in a democratic country can risk national interests due to internal conflict. They probably thought, that the city near western border would be a safer choice.
In Poland there's also a stereotypical opinion, that Lviv is an obvious choice.

Even if it was a hoax, it actually matches reality... Look at the construction site - it's constantly deserted, as if the project was indeed missing. How they're going to complete it within one year? Other stadiums in Poland are in much more advanced stage of construction, there are hundreds of builders on site every day and yet these stadiums are to be completed in mid 2011... Better get real mate - Lviv is already out of the game, imho.

I check all the UEFA statements and they've never made it, on the contrary all the latest ones were positive. Your link to a second-rate online newspaper gives an anonymous source for their information.

^^
It still can be easy completed in th mid 2011. Look at the Legia's stadium schedule. Polish Euro stadiums are bigger, than Lviv's one, and besides Warsaw, they are planned to be completed in 2010.

What's the problem with the construction then? Why is it not being built quickly enough?

If it isn't going to be ready, tough luck, UEFA should just give it to Dnipro - a tried and tested stadium which is just as big.

Yes, the construction is 2 months behind schedule, I don't think that it's catastrophic to eliminate Lviv though.

well, the present progress looks similar to Wroclaw, which will be bigger and hence needs more time. So if Wroclaw can d it, so can Lviv.

and I think it would be catastrophic to elliminate Lviv - a beautiful city and one which is somehow a strong tie between Ukraine and Poland, both geographically and historically.

^^
But they must speed up, because with that pace, they won't convince UEFA in the November.

^^^^
I'm sure LVIV will be able to finish the stadium before euro 2012. I agree though that odessa shouldve been kept since it would bring much more tourism and revenue...

Also its not just about the construction of this stadium, also the airport and the infrastructure of the cities. So far, Kharkiv is building their airport faster than any other city in Ukraine. Here is a recent image of the construction of the Airport in Lviv, and another photo of the construction of the airport in Kharkiv (Which the photo has been taken about 1 month ago)

Its so strange. Last time I heard in polish media that there is nothing, even isnt projects now. And in this thread I see constructrion. Whats going on ? :nuts:

Polish media overreact as always. There are foundations of course but nevertheless Liviv has got some problems with stadium.

Okay the webcam works fine now, yet still the progress of the stadium is quite bad :(

New photos of the stadium, and finally there is something new being built on the stadium other than the foundations :banana:

Also i have a question, what happened to the 2nd webcam? They took it off the website completely :(

Let's be honest. With this speed of construction works this stadium won't be ready for a very long time. Similar stadium in Warsaw ( Legia Stadium ) is being built and works started also in November 2008 and the construction is very advanced.

^^
Was that comment really necessary?
Anyway, glad to see SOME progress.

My prediction would be that this stadium will be ready in like mid 2011, looking at the pace of the construction works.

Let's be honest. With this speed of construction works this stadium won't be ready for a very long time. Similar stadium in Warsaw ( Legia Stadium ) is being built and works started also in November 2008 and the construction is very advanced.

just look at the progress in Wroclaw and stop spamming/trolling.

if Wroclaw can do it, so can Lviv.

So if someone is negative about the speed of construction works then he is spamming/trolling? :wtf:

Sorry, but for me you are having the guest from UEFA now, and in Lviv want to show something in progress.

So if someone is negative about the speed of construction works then he is spamming/trolling? :wtf:

if someone is not even trying to be objective and tries to proove ridicuous thesis - YES.

Legia stadium is planned to be done in 2010. Lviv, same as Wroclaw, needs to be done by 2012.
Why don't you write in the Wroclaw thread that they're not gonna make it, huh?
It's sad for me to see all those negative Polish comments in Ukrainian stadium threads.
It prooves we are a nation full of complexes and many of us are trying to raise their self-confidence by prooving others are doing worse :ohno:

sorry for OT

First of all Lviv and Wroclaw stadiums need to be done in 2011.
Second thing is that this is Lviv stadium thread and not Wroclaw stadium thread so it's pretty obvious why I wrote about Lviv stadium and not Wroclaw stadium.
Third thing is that I used a comparison between stadiums in Lviv and Warsaw because they started works at the same time and are similar size. Lviv stadium was suppose to be done by June 2010, according to info found in this thread. Now it's predicted to open in 2011 and probably during summer, so there is a huge delay.
And to your information I'm not against Ukraine's bid. I want them to host Euro in 4 cities. But if only improvements on the stadium are done before UEFA inspections then how can you be optimistic about this stadium.

I hope it will be ready before 2012

Legia stadium is planned to be done in 2010. Lviv, same as Wroclaw, needs to be done by 2012.
between "needs" and "timineline written in the contract of the general contractor" is difference.
just look at the progress in Wroclaw and stop spamming/trolling.

if Wroclaw can do it, so can Lviv.
Why don't you write in the Wroclaw thread that they're not gonna make it, huh?
Because construction in Wroclaw and Lviv are completely different situations. In Wroclaw stadium is guaranteed the full funding, and works last every day. In Lviv are continuing problems with financing, and construction site workers are usually appear also when coming visit by UEFA.
These two venues are also very different scopes of works. The construction of the stadium in Wroclaw is much larger and more complicated. Only a Legia's stadium, has the similar size and the structure, and comparing here are as most accurate (similar structures and the time of end of contruction stadium back according to the schedule).

Ordinary comparison becomes quarrel. :ohno:

Let's simply keep our fingers crossed for Lviv and stop blathering about it.

Lviv accelerate the construction of the stadium for Euro 2012


Founder of consulting company "Arena.Kom", which advises the Lions build a stadium for Euro 2012, Thomas Speck noted that Lviv is a very, very good prospects to take the European championship.


"I have a close relationship with UEFA, and, in my opinion, Lviv is a very, very good prospects to take the European championship, we just have to hurry and accelerate the pace of construction of the Euro-2012. I am convinced that Lvov is doing and will host Euro-2012 ", - said Thomas Speck.

He said he repeatedly visited in Lviv. "I have been here many times, I am pleased to say that L'viv - the most beautiful city in Ukraine. Already visited the stadium and the airport, I went and saw the construction site of Lviv arena. Progress should be made more obvious, in my opinion, in the construction of the stadium is a little late. And now it, in any, case, you need to level. Now we all should be well planned. Yes, now my company ( "Arena.kom") signed a tripartite agreement with the city and the executor of works on a specific design of the stadium. And if we speed up the work, Lviv will have all chances to host Euro 2012 ", - said Thomas Speck 24 October, while in Lviv.

When asked at what stage the level of the construction of stadiums in Ukraine, the founder of consulting company "Arena.Kom" replied: "Well looks like the stadium in Donetsk, Donbass-Arena" - perfective stadium, probably the best in Europe today. In Kharkov nearly ready arena, however, there need to fix a few things. Kiev must also as soon as possible to solve their problems, even though they are insignificant. Lviv, I repeat - must join the course in the construction of the stadium. In fact, I have therefore come here. We must work together to design and work to eliminate the error in construction, not in accordance with UEFA, and yet its high quality build on the UEFA regulations, I have become convinced that it is possible. "

I see that Lwów, he to speed up ;)

Oh, great. They accelerated only month before deadline :nuts: .

How is the situation with airpoport, hotels, roads (in %)?

^^ so...

Taylor said that (In general stadium and infrastructure) Lviv has made some good improvements, yet they still need to work harder if they want to host Euro 2012 matches. We will find that out in December.

The important thing is that he didn't say that Lviv is out, like so many predicted! I think that Lviv is going to be the last horse to finish the race, but it will finish it :)

Lets hope for that!

progress is visible, thats good;)

UEFA inspectors said that the stadium is a few months behind but it's not a problem, the final date of completion was moved a bit further. Everything is fine :) so much for the whining on the previous pages

What is the official name of the stadium in Lwów? Is it still going to be Ukraina or something else? Since someone made an article about this stadium on Wikipedia calling it "Lemberg Stadium" :/

^^ :lol: But im sure they will finish this stadium b4 the tournament :D

No offence, but I don't think so, looking at their pace ;X Look at stadium in Gdansk, which will be opened in second quarter of 2011, and look again at Lviv. Are you still sure that they are going to build it BEFORE Euro 2012 ? ;X I think that the answer is quite clear.

^^Sorry for that, it`s really poor:ohno:

^^
what is?
you confuse me...

^^You are joking, right?
I mean the pace of construction. Nothing has changed there.

Progress = 0

I actually do agree that the progress is terrible, and not only on the stadium, but also the pace of the construction of the new terminal in Lviv is exactly the same as this stadium. It's like the workers on the stadium are also working on the terminal, that's why the construction site is empty :P, but on the other hand, I visited Lviv last summer, and they are actually doing good with their infrastructure. I passed by seeing a lot of workers working on the roads. Also close to the center, I saw that some of the "Old fashioned" buildings that look really nice from the outside (Not soo good in the inside) are basically being remodeled to make them look more modern, and I think that they might add some cafe's or restaurants.

^^You are joking, right?

Yep.
This stadium is a mirror of the current government:ohno:

summer 2010 , i really don't think so :ohno:

This is an old photo, it needs to be updated, but right now they are aiming to complete it by summer 2011 (The previous completion date was supposed to be November 2010, but looking at the progress, it will definitely be completed in 2011 [Minimum])

They changed the position of the webcam, now you can see the columns being installed :)

Stop spamming! So what if the construction is slow? Maybe later on this year they will take things more seriously and actually start working more on this stadium. Besides, Ukraine is not as rich as Poland, the stadium is not the only thing that matters, but the infrastructure as well. I visited Lviv last summer and in many places I saw workers developing their roads, modernizing buildings etc. Besides Platini is coming for an inspection next month, hope they wont embarrass themselves with the stadium :bash:

They will make it. This stadium is comparable to Legia Warsaw stadium and look how fast Legia stadium is growing up. But the only condition is that they have to speed up after winter.
This stadium is small so i think Ukrainians will finish it at the same time as Wroclaw city stadium witch also has some delay !! I'm full of hope it will be just like i'm saying !!

Sory for my english :P

How is that spam.. thats like the first post of mine in this thread. spam is what you create in all these threads. get away from the computer for more than 30 min and get a girlfriend.
Im simply stating that the construction is incredibly slow

Just ignore him... he is a well known troll on this forum. For him all comments critical about Ukrainian preparations are spam. There are many contributors who actually stopped posting here because of this guy's junk output.

I asked this many times, and i shall ask it again, how am i trolling? I already told you that i already stopped posting the 'good progress' comments quite a while ago. The thing that i don't understand is why would the contributors stop posting comments? I mean, I am a contributor and there are many other trolls such as poxuy who are posting pathetic comments, but I ignore them.

I'm sorry, but posting one negative comment after another is not exactly contributing to the thread. To be honest, if anyone is contributing anything here it would be NMaister007, who at least posts images of the stadium this thread is dedicated for. Is progress slow? Yes. Will they finish it in time? We shall see. You've stated your opinion once before, we don't need to hear it ten times over.

I think you confuse me with someone else. Yes, I did say the pace is sluggish but I did it once and that was quite a time ago. The fact that other people here express similar opinions only confirms that the construction process is extremely slow - or correct me if I'm wrong. So if you hear it ten times over, pay attention who actually says it, then complain. And, besides, how can you comment on something that hasn't changed much over the last year and the developer refuses to share any information about the construction process? What is he currently working on? What is the next stage? When? How will the roof look like? What technology? We all would like to hear something to comment on. Maybe Nmaister knows? If yes, please, come forward and tell us!

There is nothing that good that has to be said. Seeing as this stadium could be completed even by the end of 2011, it is impossible to get into the topic of the roof type, currently, they are only planning. Here is some recent info on the Euro 2012 tournament, Platini will visit the Euro stadiums in the first week of February, but apparently, he will not visit Kyiv. Usually when this happens the workers start to actually do something so that they don't embarrass themselves too much.

Lviv is threatened by default. On 26 january the "juridical default" was announced. State treasury owes the city - 130 million hryvnia. To foreign investors and low-income families. This situation in almost all regions of Ukraine.

Nothing new. No progress at the stadium ! :ohno:

i disagree, there is some movement! Very, very little of it, but there is.

I see in Kiev it is raining today, and most of the snow is melting. Is it the same situation in Lviv? (maybe they will be speed up the construction.... we can only hope)

Anyone know what team will take over the stadium after it is finished? The first post has Karpaty Lviv but i heard it will be FC lviv.

Anyways back to the topic, yes the progress is slow but i think they will speed it up in spring and summer. Hopefully i will be able to watch Euro 2012 there.

Lvov is autsider

It is more likely that Karpaty Lviv will take it, and FC Lviv will take their old stadium.

I found a video of the construction site 01/02/2010.

FK Lviv, or whatever they're going to be called at that point, are planning on having their own stadium built. Or at least that was the rumor going around Lviv this summer.

i have never seen a project move as slow as this, snails move faster.
ukraine was a bad choice:ohno:

Dude, don't spam, if you have a problem with the pace of the construction of this stadium, then don't comment on this thread at all.

Why not? It seems you've got a problem with anyone who criticise Ukrainian preparations. And besides mate, check the word 'spam' in your dictionary, apparently it is not a synonym of 'criticise'. If you've got a problem with anyone else's opinion then YOU don't comment on this and other threads and keep quiet forever, will you? I thought you've learnt some manners, but you're becoming even more arrogant.

Fully supports the view that the pace is very slow, I think if nothing changes for the better the match from Lviv will give Dnepropetrovsk (namely Dnepruopetrovsku, not Odessa, as the situation there is not much better and I am very worried for the future of these arenas)

if you look closer on the 2012ua.net website they have a similar article of stadium construction being shut down. From what i understand, originally was thought that full construction will resume on Feb. 25, however today Azovintex co-owner announced about the issue that they have, and that they will not resume the work unless everything is resolved. That means Azovintex and Lviv state government has 2 days to resolve this or.....(who know what will happen)

It seems Lviv may now bid farewell to E2012. Which city is going to take over? Any bets?

Lets hope that Lwów doesnt lose it because this will be a huge embarasement for Ukraine and the whole Euro 2012. And secondly, hopefully Kraków will take over :)

Can't you see any contradiction in your hopes? Forget Kraków. It will never happen.
