It's a jewel!!!!!!!--just beautiful!

Looks great, but did they change the design? I liked the old renderings better.

Looks great, but did they change the design? I liked the old renderings better.

:dunno: Old renderings? this is a totally new project and design presented just last night, maybe you're talking about Estadio Internacional Monterrey, the one in this thread is called Estadio de Futbol Monterrey, not Internacional Monterrey, they are two different projects, although until yesterday, Internacional Stadium was still considering Monterrey to join the project. But as you can see here, that didn't happend.

By the way, according to Estadio Internacional's webpage, the project is still in progress...But now without the Monterrey Soccer Team, the other professional soccer team in the city are Tigres, and it seems that Estadio Internacional is still talking with them.

www.estadiointernacionalmonterrey.com

Before, there were Tigres (Yellow), Mexico (Green), and Monterrey's Rayados (Blue) colors shown in their site...

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg108/dancingwithnacos4/2570645184_c2daf2fe33.jpg

Today... Only Yellow (Tigres), Green (Mexico's), and White (For Special Events)

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg108/dancingwithnacos4/eimyx8.jpg

Oh wow, so they could both (potentially) be in the city? GREAT! Monterrey already has a diverse set of sports arenas and stadiums, this just makes it better.

Hi There!

Not at this time, the only info available is about antoher new Stadium for the Cruz Azul soccer team, from Mexico City.

In our case, I'm very happy for the new Stadium for the RAYADOS DEL MONTERRY, my heart's team.



:applause: very very nice. I wish the best during the construction.

is there not any modernization project for Estadio Azteca wich is one of the best football stadium of the world history?

Fantastic!! Nice design!!

this is going to be the real Mexico's best, because of the description, it could be to the level of top (mid sized) european stadiums, maybe in the range of capacity and comfort of Hamburg, Porto, Amsteram, Frankfurt.

Awesome! You're lucky to have great looking stadium like that. I'll look forward to Toronto FC coming down there for a Champion's League match. Of course by the time that happens the stadium will be a lot older.

Amazing design that metal facade and roof are really inovative .

Mexico is impressing with their new stadia. Between this stadium and Guadalajara´s new Stadium they´re setting the standars

Beautiful stadium looks a bit like the new national stadiums in Northern Ireland and Republic Of Ireland. From reading posts it doesn't seem to be clear as to who will be playing in this stadium when this stadium is finished, can someone tell me who will playing in this beauty when it is complete?

Wuuuuuuuuwwwwww, Bandasdic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can someone tell me who will playing in this beauty when it is complete?

Amateur football team in my hometown :)

Sorry. No information about who will play there...

Yes, Monterrey FC will play there.
It's a club with money but not a lot of championships. They are most of the time in the middle of the league as well as the other team. They do have great attendances.. let's see how they do with a bigger stadium.

thank you for your answer... Is Estadio Azteca just national stadium now?
no, America FC(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Am%C3%A9rica) plays there so their second team does (socio aguila http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socio_Aguila)

rayados and tigres really need to have bigger stadiums, always full stadiums anytime in the tournament

Sorry. No information about who will play there...

Mmm, I've seen the football clubs info with their logos on the first post on almost all the soccer stadiums projects' threads here, it seem to be a format, haven't you noticed?

CF Monterrey, its call Rayados, won its last championship on 2003, also they have played the derby in semi-finals twice in a home and away format, having won two games and lost two games, both times (2003 and 2005) qualifying to the finals.

Here's more info
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_de_Futbol_Monterrey

excelent design, nice shape, good capacity of seats (people), it will be one of the bests stadiums in America Latina, even in the world.

congrats for its new Era, i mean this new project.

greetings from Mtl...

New York-based MASS Studio designs metallic-clad 50,000-seat football stadium in Mexico

MASS Studio, the special project wing of architecture firm HOK Sport, has unveiled designs for a 50,000-seat armadillo-style stadium in Monterrey, Mexico.

The Estadio de Futbol sits at the foot of the Cerro de la Silla mountain, which MASS's architects said inspired the 55m cantilevered roof and metallic “armature” cladding.

Christopher Lee, MASS's senior principal and designer of the stadium, said: “The Estadio de Fútbol Monterrey will challenge the expectations of what a modern world-class football stadium can be. The stadium will be the most atmospheric football stadium in Latin America; the perfect football stadium.”

MASS works in parallel with HOK Sport to work on special projects and research and develop mass assembly buildings.

...The Oficial News from Hok Sport Webpage


Design for New Stadium in Monterrey Revealed

Date: Sept 10th 2008 Project: Monterrey Stadium

HOK Sport recently unveiled the design for The Estadio de Fútbol in Monterrey, Mexico. The 50,000 seat world class stadium will be the canter in the restored and enhanced Parque La Pastora, Monterrey's new recreational and leisure destination.

Sitting at the foot of the Cerro de la Silla, the stadium's dramatic asymmetric sweeping form pays homage to the famous mountain and its metallic 'armature' cladding make reference to the industrial heritage of Monterrey.

Senior principal of HOK Sport and stadium designer Christopher Lee says:

"The Estadio de Fútbol Monterrey will challenge the expectations of what a modern world class football stadium can be. The stadium will be the most atmospheric football stadium in Latin America; a brilliant football stadium."

The seating bowl is designed to have the most 'intense atmosphere' in any Latin American Stadium, with spectators located as close to the pitch as possible with excellent views of the event. A vast 55 meter cantilevered roof covers all spectators, providing an unsurpassed level of spectator comfort.

The Estadio de Fútbol Monterrey will be a world class stadium that Rayados fans and the people of Monterrey will call their own.

Is the one in Belfast a proposal?, is it going to be built soon?

Did HOK Sport designed it too?

Greetings

Great stadium

Have they posted any renders of the park that they are bulding next to the stadium?

^^not much from the park's project yet, the following article just mentions that the stadium is the central position of the whole project to rehab La Pastora Park.

We know by Mexican's papers that an ecological park will be build around the stadium where the Monterrey Zoo is located, also the rehabilitation of 7 kilometers of La Silla river, 80 acres of forests, and the construction of a Botanic Garden.

Around the Stadium, a hotel, and a shopping mall and new vehicle access

Kick-off for Mexican stadium

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg108/dancingwithnacos4/Monterrey_ready.jpg

19 September 2008

HOK Sport has unveiled the first images of a new 50,000 capacity football stadium in Monterrey, Mexico.

The Estadio de Fútbol will be the new home for the Monterrey team, Los Rayados.

It has been designed to create an “intense atmosphere”, with a seating bowl that places spectators as close to the pitch as possible.

The stadium’s 55m-span cantilevered roof will protect the spectators from the elements, while overlapping sheet metal cladding references Monterrey’s industrial heritage.

Estadio de Fútbol will occupy a central position in the newly restored Parque La Pastora. This is located at the foot of the Cerro de la Silla mountain, the “saddle” shape of which also influenced the design of the stadium.

:lol:

Haha, oh dear.

I don't like how one end is bigger than the other.

^^ Doesn't seem practical, but it does give it some curves that you won't find on too many stadiums.

Spot the difference:



http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/stepheneely/bedpan.jpg

:lol:

JAjajajaja Hilarious.. it made my day.. jajaja

Does the uneven end make the stadium expandable?

^^ Doesn't seem practical, but it does give it some curves that you won't find on too many stadiums.

On this case is very practical, if you read the stadium press release from HOK, you'll realized that the design was influenced by the mountain which is the symbol of Monterrey. Once inside, the view of the mountain will be simply spectacular, only people who have been in the city of mountains would know this...

QUE CHINGONAS PICS, PERO CUANDO EMPIEZA LA CONSTRUCCION

^^ According to TV interviews with the project's president, they'll start the construction before this year ends. That was also said for the whole park project proposed together with the Estadio Monterrey.

These were preliminary renders of the stadium interiors sent to the press the day before the project was announced. Obviously we'll expect better ones hopefully soon.

I quite like this stadium, although it is very similar to Lansdowne Road.

^^Very similar indeed, but not quite the same.

Is the one in Belfast a proposal?, is it going to be built soon?

Did HOK Sport designed it too?

Greetings

The picture in question is definitely of the proposed stadium at The Maze / Long Kesh in Northern Ireland.

The stadium is a proposal at the moment and has been for a very long time. There are various political issues with the building of this stadium that have been dragged out for a few years now. Basically, the whole thing is on the verge of being scrapped and is universally unpopular amongst football fans in Northern Ireland, disliked by about 60% or more of the rugby union fans. The site is a joke - £124m or so is set aside for improving transport routes to the stadium. At a total cost of £240m for 35,000 seats, it's absurdly costly - it's due to cost about £300 each per tax payer in Northern Ireland.

It's not in Belfast. In fact, it's not even really in anywhere - it's on the site of a former prison, near Lisburn, and is a good 10 miles from Belfast.

The proposed design is known to have changed from the render, so if, by some miracle, it does get built, it will look different than the currently available render. The render available shows a lower tier that can hold 18,000 seats or 25,000 in a mix of seats and standing space. The executive boxes are also on the third level in this render.

According to Mike Reid, CEO of Ulster Rugby, this has since been changed to a lower tier containing 20,000 seats or 25,000 with a mix of seats and standing space and the executive boxes have been lowered to level two. Apparently, this is to give a fully enclosed lower bowl that would be most suitable for Ulster Rugby.

I hope the stadium in Lisburn gets built. It's also a nice looking stadium. I can't wait to see the stadium and the park in Monterrey. I'm sure they are going to look just great. Has anybody seen any renders of teh park?

I quite like this stadium, although it is very similar to Lansdowne Road.

Wow, i love it.

Has construction started yet?

The construction of this stadium means that Monterrey will have two soccer-specific stadiums and one stadium with a track.

^^ Yes. in fact they have already played here a few times but recently there are no plans for an NFL game .. but I think there are many possibilities to come back .. something like New England vs Dallas would be perfect: lol:
