No, it's not Euro2012 stadium

I prefer dirty stadiums :D

good news:
today at 18:30 p.m. an agreement with the contractor will be signed - with company Polimex-Mostostal. The structure will probably start on Monday, 17th November.
:cheers:

What's in the right corner of the upper tier in the first pic?

there will be probably located a nsport studio.
In the ultimate project an elevation have been changed in this corner
http://www.stadionlegii.pl/images/articles/projekt/projekt6.jpg

Always nice to include flares in the rendering photo lol

In this thread, should be change name stadion on stadium.

official information - an agreement with the contractor was signed :cheers:
http://legia.com/www/index.php?akt=4417

whats the polish word for stadium?

^^ stadion

so Stadion Legii is correct.
We prefer to write native name
Stadion
Stadi
Estadio
Stadio
etc.

Legia fans often like to call it Estadio Wojska Polskiego ;)

BTW that will be media studio in the corner not NSport Studio.

So oficially confirmed, construction is gonna start 17th nov. 2008 that is upcoming monday...

Yesterday there was last match with old stand "Żyleta"

And after the match... ;)


http://www.legialive.pl/photos09j/09slask1_f105.jpg

According to Stadionwelt capacity will be 34.037
http://www.stadionwelt.de/neu/sw_stadien/index.php?folder=sites&site=news_detail&news_id=2617
Can somebody confirm this?

The capacity will amount to 34k at the option standing on the new podium. New "żyleta" will have the possibility of increasing the capacity by folding seats.

Yes it will be 31.800 fully seeted. But with an option for polish league games to be larger due to standing places.

1st day of the construction:

http://www.legia.com/www/pliki/newsy/budowa21.JPG

Friends, I have a question. When we say "Construction started", does that include site clearance in normal case? In this case it looks like the site clearance started in the phase of construction. Can we say "Construction started" for this case?

Yes, I think that site clearance confirms the commencing of construction

http://stadion.legia.com/images/projekt/10.jpg

Not a fan of the multi-coloured seats. First row seems awfully far from the pitch.

Those seat colors (or combination) are ugly

It will get changed for sure. ;)

so when it's supposed to be finished ??

The seat colours are cool!!

What's up with the first few rows of the 2nd tier?
It looks like there are no seats.

Oh I just knew that this is the reconstruction or renovation of an existing stadium from the picture above. I thought they will build a brand-new stadium on an empty land.

This will be a brand new stadium but on old place ;)

So the current stadium will be torn down, right?

Yea :)

http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/1946/legijnyzk6.jpg

first stage - demolition of 3 stands, and the construction new stands in old place
second stage - rebuilding of fourth stand (grand stand)

Legia will play during construction

What's up with the first few rows of the 2nd tier?
It looks like there are no seats.
http://stadion.legia.com/images/projekt/9.jpg

With this visual, I'm honestly more worried about the distance between the 1st row of the lower tier and the field... It honestly looks like 15-20 meters... I need to stress that it would be absolutely terrible if it would be the same on the real stadium... Hopefully, only a small mistake when the visuals were being made...

^^

It will be about 7 meters.

It will be about 7 meters.

Are you serious? That must be the most outrageous idea from the whole project... :ohno:

This image shows ≈13,5 meters...

http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/5647/odlegloscty8.png

...but I hope that it's a mistake. :bash:

13,5m would be awful

maybe its because i watch Football and not Futbal, but whats so wrong with 13.5m?

It's too much. Average distance beetween stands and field is around 6-10 meters. According to UEFA regulations this minimal distance behind the goal is 7 meters. There's twice more in Warsaw.

Correction! There isn't! There might be! But we are all hoping it won't happen! :nuts:

True... on another forum someone measured the aerial view rendering and it seemed like 8-10m there, so it's all to be seen

13,5 would be quite Krakow :lol: (actually I laugh through tears :P)

here it's futbol and globaly it's football, as opposed to American football :bash: sheesh. At least you didn't use the "s" word. ;)

http://images31.fotosik.pl/404/6ab2e5261a7928d5.jpg

Well this makes it clear. The stands will be 6-8 meters from the pitch.

Stadion Wojska Polskiego?!!! wtf

Michal said to me that is off name is Wojska etc.

Yeah. As always, Renderings are wrong (like Allianz with 30 players :D)
Look like 9m

Stadion Wojska Polskiego?!!! wtf

What? Official name of this stadium is "Stadion Wojska Polskiego imienia Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego" (eng. Polish Army Stadium) :D

They expect to finish demolishion till December 20. But with the speed they are going I think they might finish it earler.

Just out of personal curiosity. How cold is it in winter in Poland? To be specific, on average what's the temperauture?

Usually around 0 degree and rather rainy (or wet, melting snow).

0 degree on average? Not so cold as I thought. That's quite unexpected considering Poland is located in the northern part of the planet.

That was my feeling which could be wrong cause I noticed only temperature during day. I just checked my geography book and now I know it's around -2/-3 degree.

Well... let's say that is on average during the past few years... But we still get quite extreme cold such as -20'C or even -27'C as it was in the eastern part of Poland last week...

To put together what's said, I feel like it's as cold in Poland as in North Korea on average, which means a bit colder than in South Korea. Thanks for the infos, Sponsor and Maximus1962

In the stadium's condition before the reconstruction, the west stand had only one tier. The reconstruction leaves the west stand with two tiers. In the second phase, will the second tier be built atop the first or will the west stand be completely rebuilt?

West stand will be comletely rebuilt - from the old podium only a elevation will be save, because it's monument.

Gre seats with black latters would suit this stadium the best.
that'd be great but those grey seats are gonna be white in fact.

I hate grey seats.
White is alot better, still I'd prefer the first variant with all the club colors involved.

Probably first or second variant will winn because of club colors.

Shame they haven't angled the seats near the boxes, gonna be a lot of restricted views on either side.

Looks lovely though, nice design, should be great to watch a game there. Lets just hope they can keep the pitch in the same fantastic condition.

I like 1st one

Well, the pitch condition is unbelievably fantastic. It made me think it's the artificial one

I was on site there last week, the pitch is of below average quality.
Surely if a pitch was diabolical then that would make you think it was artificial not the other way round.:lol:

^^ I would like to see above avarage quality pitch then

They've added option nr 5:

No, that is the proper name of the stadium and Legia is still nicknamed "Wojskowi"("Militaries").

What about the west stand? It will not match properly with the new stands, so it must be demoed.

It depends, the Ukrainian language is more Russian, but the Ukrainian accent is more similar to the Polish one.

Why is the bottom tier missing on the stand of the first picture?

They need the space for equipment and mobile cranes. They will of course finish the tier later on when the space is no longer needed.

Good to see that the roofs construction of the stadium have finally kicked off :)

On this photo are constructions of two new stadiums in Warsaw - this stadium and Stadion Narodowy (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=552599) (on the right).

Hi everyone!!! This is my first comment in this forum.
Nice picture! :bowtie:

Nice Visualisations. I wish, the stadium's construction was finished... :D

Unfortunately, not. This is a photo taken from helicopter.

The stadium is looking better and better everyday :D

Now builders assemble north and south stand and install roof brackets. Roof construction will have 28 brackets - 24 straight brackets 60 tons each and 4 corner brackets - 90 tons each.

great colours of the chairs, especially the upper tier - even empty looks like full of people!

Here is a better thing - virtual walk around the future stadium :D

Great animation.
The roof looks really nice from outside and I also like the exterior, although it's quite simple.
That box in the corner of the 2nd tier looks terrible though...

^^ I guess that is the news & media centre and to be honest I don't understand why you dislike it

^^It's useful but lets say that it would not win the beauty contest.

^^ I guess that is the news & media centre and to be honest I don't understand why you dislike it

From what I know it was an add-on pushed into the stands just to fulfil UEFA's requirements, which - from what I recall - have changed just around then...
This would be a reason for it not to fit. And let's be honest - there's no way JSK would design something like this from the start, I don't think they considered a log like this in the initial design.


PS: to someone from the moderating staff, preferably Sercan - the capacity is officially 31 103 seats, so if you could change it, it would be nice. Of course that's no revolution, but it would be more precise.

I dont know who they are building this stadium for. Legia and her fans have been in conflict for a while now, and many times Legia coulnt fill up the stadium before they decided to expand it, now with more seats it will look even more empty

^^
If id live in Warsaw, id be more attracted to see football if they hade a much nicer stadium. Thats how it works everywhere! Stadium is taking nice shape though!

TV studio

oh, thnx

this will be beutiful stadium

one year of construction :cheers:

A year of construction works in 10 minutes!

Yesterday Legia celebrated a year from the moment when construction works started at the new stadium with the first crane entering the construction site. Within these twelve months, the contractor, Polimex Mostostal, built three stands, replacing the famous “Żyleta” tribune and two curved tribunes.

First of all, the contractor knocked down the old parts of the stadium and disposed of the debris. In January they started to build the frameworks of the new stands. Day by day, the huge cranes installed new poles, bolts, treads and roof beams.

We invite you to watch an exclusive 10-minute video dedicated to the most important moments of the construction works at our stadium – from the voting of the City Council to the current works.

Enjoy it! (http://legia.com/www/index.php?akt=11250)

And one more film

Hi, some of you probably won't like what i have to say but...As far as I know this stadium costs ~100mln euro, right? So no offence, but this stadium looks really #$%^&...let's just say it could be muuuch much better...I mean 100mln euro is alot of money...I'm disapointed...Design could be much better tho..But it's not finished yet so...

about 40-45% of this money would be spent on the main stand. I don't know if you are talking about visualisations or latest photos from the construction site. If photos, then cost of what you can see now(3 stands) is about 60 millions euro.

Hmm... What in this stadium is "#$%^&" (ugly)? In your opinion of course.

Some of news about this stadium (in polish).
http://www.sport.pl/pilka/1,65029,7281221,Co_16__widz_na_nowym_stadionie_Legii_ma_byc_ViP_em.html

Every sixteenth person on stadium will be VIP. The cost of suite on stadium (for one season and for ten people) will be between 45k euros (price on Slavia Prague stadium) and 70k euros (price on Austria Wien stadium). So possible is cost of suite on Legia stadium will be about 50k euros, of course better location of suite on stadium = more expensive price. On the stadium will also bussines stand, cost of one seat on bussines stand on Slavia and Austria stadiums are about 1,5-3k euros.

...nice stadium...but what`s so nice about designing the first row of the stands to be significantly higher than the pitch level ? It is ugly...
In this one is something like 2m higher...and remember many German grounds (Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg)...

This smallest tribune will be destroy and build new..

_doc_ maybe you should be a stadium designer.. what looks ugly to you looks nice to someone else... and criticizing something so insignificant is ridiculous

OK...I didn't know that...Next time I will send you a pm asking you whether I should post something or not...Merry Christmas...

What are you talking about? The first row will not be 2m higher than the pitch. Look at the pictures again, the height is perfect in my opinion. The stand has to be a little higher than the pitch so the people sitting in front rows can see better.

...you re right I got confused by the last photo where it does seem like 2m higher.

beautiful ground. The video is amazing

those glass barriers are classy, but im not sure how they'll stand up to the fans

I would've liked it if they kept the old stand, maybe just give it a brush-up, gives the stadium a unique feel.

It's an armoured glass, probably tougher than normal steel barriers :cheers:

those glass barriers are classy, but im not sure how they'll stand up to the fans

When will this stadium be open?

When will this stadium be open?

Three stands that are actually under construction were started november 2008 and they are scheduled for 18 months. After completion (may/june) second phase will be initiated - demolition of old west stand and building a new one. Second phase is to complete in next 8 months...

It's an armoured glass, probably tougher than normal steel barriers :cheers:

well in that case :pepper: :cucumber: (too bad there isn't a dancing vegetable that is white, i was tryin to use Legia colours :()

hopefully they can have the 3 stands open for at least the last home match of the season May 15th vs GKS Bełchatów.

If not, it would be a great way to kick off the 2010 Champions League or Europa League qualifying campaign :)

Possibly my favourite of the new stadiums being constructed in Poland right now.

It reminds me a lot of Sparta Prague's stadium (Letna?), only a more polished and modern version.

Now that these nice seats are being put in the upper part of behind the goal stands, we can say seats with folding type like these will be installed in all stands of the stadium. It's very very very good.

when all seats will be installed stadium will be looking even better then on visualisations - great job, my best supports from cardiff!!!

Green is the colour of Legia Warsaw - the team for which the stadium is being built.

well, as I see, on Legia's crest there is more white than green, and I said that there could be more white color... but anyway, this reconstruction looks great

I dont know what crest do you mean.
This is the proper and historical crest -
http://danclough.files.wordpress.com/2007/07/legia-warsaw.png
Actually Legia has two sets of colours - red-white-green and white-black. (the second comes from this (L) which is sometimes also used as a crest).
Players always played in white-black kits (excluding 80s), but historically the club is associated with green colour as a colour of army where Legia has its origins.

Is it the colors of Italy? Was it founded by soldiers from legionary army, who fought in Italy during WWI?
For example: Czech had also legionary army in Italy.

well, yes, I meant on this crest, and on this one, there is more white than green... and I know for black one too... but, never mind, main thing is that you are getting great stadium... and one question - what's the usual attendance on Legia's home matches?

Green - Army , White and Red - Poland

It depends. When the situation wasn't as silly as now (because of management's foolish moves) and the stadium capacity was about 13.000, the average attendance oscillated about 9.000 - 11.000.
Now, supporters are fighting against club owners (and vice versa), capacity is about 4.500 and the attendance looks sad - circa 2-3 thousands.

To give the better view of situation: about 3.500 Legia's fans visited Vien on away match a few years ago. That shows how big potential they have, but the situation has changed enormously since these days...

Well if both sides will finally grow up and decide to end the conflict then I think 20-25k at each game wouldn't be a problem.

The club has been established in 1916 by polish soldiers who fought in Austro-Hungarian army on eastern front during WWI. But afaik red colour has been added later - initially it was white and green. Correct me somebody if I am bullshitting.
The colours of Legia are like the colours of Hungary beacuse you rotate the crest opposite clockwise (its the rule of heraldry - at least in Poland).
