looks very nice..

looks pretty cool > Who are 'Rasunda'?

looks pretty cool > Who are 'Rasunda'?

Råsunda is the name of the current stadium.

3 tiers?

Reminds me of Fenerbahce, must be the colours.

http://www.derat.nl/picture/stadionfoto/stadion_fenerbache.jpg

Great! And I see there is a skyscraper in the rendering also :D

make it two tiers and i'll be happy

It looks rather plain to me, I also hoped that they would include 400m making it only 2nd arena in the world with retractable roof with 400m, 8 lane track field.

Stadiums with a retractable roof are so cool !!!

Why should it have it a running track? When it is build for football and concerts.
What is the need for all these big stadiums with running tracks, when only a very athletic events can attract a big crowd..

Running track would be big advantage for this stadium, they could have retractable seats that cover the track during fotball matches.

I think it looks fantastic, especially with that roof. The way the supports swoop inside & the pointed roof at each end.

An athletics track would ruin it. Besides, Sweden already has the Nya Ullevi which holds over 43,000.

The new arena will be ready in 2010.

http://www.svenskfotboll.se/files/{ED81ED9F-7D77-42B0-BCF2-5F859AE841E5}.jpg

It will be build in the same location as the old one, in the Stockholm suburb, Solna.

It looks very nice, congrats.Could you maybe resize the pics? :)

WOw it looks great!!! What is the total capacity?
The openingmatch against Brazil?

That's a great looking stadium, I'd love to know the capacity though. I'm guessing around 60,000....but I could be well off. It kinda looks like a British stadium in a way...hard to explain really, just has that look about it... :)

:cheers:

Mmm great stadium!! When it's scheduled to be finished? :cheers:

It will be finished around 2010 and the construction starts in 2006-2007.
The capacity will be app. 50000 under soccer matches and 20000-30000 under concerts etc.

20-30.000 during concerts? Thats a bit low...

Hey what happened to the old stadium design?

^^Still looks pretty good....

"Swedbank Arena". Embarrassing. This stadium will become the new "Globen" of Stockholm. Too large for Allsvenskan use and too small for international use. Will be empty a lot of the time, except of occasional visits by white mid age men in suits. Sterile

This one has a new design now;

stands like Lille
and roof like Veltins :)

I prefer the old design to be honest.

I think i preferred the old one too, it looked agressive and domineering, the new one looks like just another Allianz-esque design.

I think a new design has retractable roof. I like both of them. Anyway when do they start the work?

I think a new design has retractable roof.

both have it. I'm still for the old one.

The worst thing about this project is the three levels of seating. Necessary to make all seats close to the pitch according to the architect... :nuts: It will kill the atmosphere!

I don't think it's nice to see 4 single-tier stands hold as many as 50,000 people, though I also admit it's good for atmosphere.

Is this the final version?

http://fabriken.akestamholst.se/akestamholst/images/2007/12/07/swedbank_arena_dagrgb.jpg

IMO the small 2nd tier is the club seats / business seats tier like at Da Luz or Emirates

Congrats Sweden - amazing stadium!:applause:

"This is a envies dane writing!"

as nice as the new render is it looks like every other new stadium being built in europe at the moment the orignal was better

as nice as the new render is it looks like every other new stadium being built in europe at the moment the orignal was better

That's because people pursue cost-effective design with every version update :lol:

^^
still it would be nice if for once the original more interesting project happened because at the moment it feels like every stadium that is different from the others ends up not happening and its becoming frustrating in 10 years time europe might be full of stadiums all loking exactly the same

I prefer old version (more individual and characteristic) but it's better to wait for better vizualizations of new version.

They should have included at least one larger tier as a cheering section. Other than that its a good design.

Very nice looking arena. Congrats Stockholm, this'll surely beat the other ones in the Nordics.

There are now doubts about the financing of this stadium...

Regarding SwedBank Arena, can anyone summarize this article in English please?
The key point is, did it mention when the construction will start and complete?

==============================================================

2008-12-17 | Tillbaka

Klart med finansiering av Swedbank Arena
Ett nytt avtal med Swedbank säkrar finansieringen av Swedbank Arena.
Projektet går enligt plan och förutsatt att bygglovet är beviljat kommer byggnationen att påbörjas under våren 2009.
Ett första spadtag är planerat till den 4 maj.


Den samtidiga byggnationen av Swedbank Arena, Quality Hotel och Skandinaviens största köpcentrum Mall of Scandinavia, gör Arenastaden till Sveriges största byggarbetsplats åren fram till invigningen år 2012.

- Till vår fördel sammanfaller byggnationen med en lågkonjunktur och fallande byggkostnader, vilket gynnar hela projektet, säger Christian Alexandersson vd för Swedbank Arena och Arenastaden.

År 2012 sker den historiska invigningen av Nordens nya och största fotbolls-, evenemangs- och multiarena. Det är 100 år sedan invigningen av Stockholms Olympiastadion som var dåtidens paradarena och den största i huvudstadsregionen.

- Svenska Fotbollförbundet, Solna Stad, Fabege, Jernhusen och Peab bygger nu Sveriges och norra Europas nya huvudarena för de kommande 100 åren. Arenan har kapacitet för 50 000 sittande åskådare på fotboll och för upp till 65.000 åskådare på konsert. Publiken kommer att få uppleva Sveriges landskamper, derbyn och allsvenska matcher, de största konserterna, de bästa artisterna, bandy, speedway och nya spektakulära evenemang i storformat, säger Christian Alexandersson.

Construction will start 4th may 2009 and and its planed completion is in 2012.

But will mall of scandinavia be larger than Field´s in Copenhagen.???

^^
It will be larger than the current size of Field's (not sure if it will be larger than Emporia in Malmö though), but Field's have expansion plans that will make it even larger iirc.

Okay, i just never heard of the shopping center in Stockholm so i am surprised of the size of it.

Anyway back to topic.

Why? nice looking arena as well as a major opportunity for sweden leauge to grow,

Well, it is too large for domestic use, and too small for international use. It will not be possible to play the CL final there, and I am sure the EURO final will require 60000 seats.

The biggest thing is though it will be built with substantial tax payers money, with the state pouring in money via AB Jernhusen, the monopoly company that owns more or less all railway stations in Sweden.

^^
I have to admit, the capacity of Swedbank Arena is a bit odd. Since 50.000 is way too large for any 'normal' event in Sweden anyway, they might as well make it 65.000-70.000 in order for it to be able to serve as CL final venue or as a worthy UEFA EC main venue.

How many suites will it have?

^^
It is not yet known. Some basic facts are available here: http://nationalarenan.se/swedbank_arena_kortfakta.php

Yes, 65-70000 would be more sound. I am afraid this project will be as "successful" as the Globe arena, which is almost always empty. The reason is politicians playing with tax payers money, heavily cheered on by the banks wating to issue bonds, construction companies and its affiliated labor union. Staten och kapitalet, you know ;)

veri nice stadium

I don't think it would be smart to make a stadium 50 or maybe 100 Mio. € more expensive just for the eventuality of a skandinavian EC and the option to host maybe one out of ten CL finals.

If some say that the stadium is already too big the way it is planned now (which I totally believe for domestic league football and where I wouldn't agree when it's about the national team), why should they make it even bigger and more expensive?

Anyone realized that this thread started more than three jears ago? Since then, they postponed and changed this project several times - and why? Mainly for finacial reasons!! And now you think it's something like a white elephant because it is too small?

Let's build it like that, let's apply for the final of the UEFA Europa League every year, let's hope that it sees a capaticy crowd at least three-four times a year when the national team or the domestic cup final comes by. And let's hope that there are some concerts too big for globen that justify the enormous costs for this retractable roof.

I don't think it would be smart to make a stadium 50 or maybe 100 Mio. € more expensive just for the eventuality of a skandinavian EC and the option to host maybe one out of ten CL finals.
Exactly, but why make the capacity 50.000 then? Everything above 40-45.000 is way too large for Sweden in any case. They're already wasting hundreds of millions of SEK to make it 50.000 which is a completely unjustifiable capacity for this stadium. If they're going to waste money, they might as well make it 60-70.000 instead.

But +60k is watsing more money than +50k :)

Agreed. Stadium cost begins to grow exponentially somewhere around 50K, so, if they decides to build more than 60K, they would have to risk much larger cost, especially if they want 70K for CL final, it would almost cost double than 50K.

^^
Are you sure about 50k? I think I read previous discussions here on SSC stating 65k as the "tipping point".

Of course not. It's just my feelings which don't have any logical backgrounds :lol: That's just the way I feel for stadium costs :)

^^
Ok then :)

when will they start with construction work ?

when will they start with construction work ?

Spring 2009. When the land has been sanitized from its previous industrial use. Finished in 2012.

Who knows?
Anyway, since this stadium will not have a regular tenant (not as long as Råsunda exist), there is not a big hurry to start (and finish) it IMO.

Cool picture sercan, it looks like they are playing against Denmark.:)

Maybe OT: The swedish state today bought a fair share of Swedbank...

any update?

Construction will begin on June 5th. (http://www.solna.se/upload/Dokument/Pressmeddelanden/PRM%20Solna%20stad%20-%20Avspark%20f%C3%B6r%20Swedbank%20Arena%20i%20Solna%20(20090511).pdf)

Good

Can anyone with swedish language give the updates with briefs in english?
Thank you

The project is endagered since the arena builders are not getting along with AIK, the biggest club in Sweden who are supposed to be regular tenants.

AIK has said that they are considering buying the old Råsunda, which the new stadium is supposed to replace.

Really????? AIK is considering buying the old stadium?????????????????????? Why? Are they thinking of building a new stadium in place of the old one???? Anyway that would be a big disappointment if the article turns out to be true...

^^ :O have u ever seen a swedish football match??

excelent in my opinion if they buy old råsunda, and hopefully renovate it by removing some stands and stuff......

The new swedbank is to large, to much a "souless-bowl" and 3 tiers.....
And for the spice at the top:
The roof! this is football not hockey!!!!!

Isn't this new stadium supposed to be built in Stockholm?

What's the difference between Stockholm and Solna?

So Solna is like a suburb of the city of Stockholm? Like how Saint-Denis is a suburb of the city of Paris?

Solna Municipality (Solna kommun or Solna stad) is a municipality in Stockholm County in east central Sweden, located just north of the capital Stockholm. Its seat is located in the city of Solna.

The municipality is a part of Metropolitan Stockholm and is totally within the Stockholm urban area. 0% of the area is considered rural, which is unusual for Swedish municipalities, which normally are of mixed rural/urban character. Solna is the third smallest municipality in Sweden in terms of area.

Solna borders to Stockholm Municipality to the south, southeast and northwest; to Sundbyberg Municipality to the west; to Sollentuna Municipality to the north; and finally to Danderyd Municipality to the northeast.

^I see. Thanks for the info.

Construction will begin on June 5th. (http://www.solna.se/upload/Dokument/Pressmeddelanden/PRM%20Solna%20stad%20-%20Avspark%20f%C3%B6r%20Swedbank%20Arena%20i%20Solna%20(20090511).pdf)
so this is under construction now ?

^^ any news? hmm...

Agreed. Stadium cost begins to grow exponentially somewhere around 50K, so, if they decides to build more than 60K, they would have to risk much larger cost, especially if they want 70K for CL final, it would almost cost double than 50K.



your cost theory does make alot of sence .. i get the feeling that alot of " semi big " teams and cites go for 50 000 but only " big shots " building 60 000 + ...

Is there any info on when they are going to start building this stadium?

Similar to other stadiums but I still like it.

Solna is an integrated part of Stockholm, but its own county.

Isn't that already under construction???

http://arenastaden.se.loopiadns.com/arenastaden_webbkamera_big2.php

No, it's not under construction. They planned to start building it at June 5th with Swedish football star Zlatan Ibrahimovic there to "put glamour" to the project. But that never happened and now it's status quo and has been at 18% progress for a long time now.
The Swedish premier league team AIK which should be the one who play there most of the time, is looking for the opportunity to buy their current home ground Råsunda (cap 34 000). Which they will renovate to fit their desire of seize and they also want to get all the money from restaurants and merchandise on their matches. Which the Swedish FA not let them get on Swedbank Arena

The problem for AIK is that it’s the Swedish FA who own Råsunda and they will of course rather see that AIK play on Swedbank Arena. They even got out to the media and said that they have sold Råsunda and the ground around it to PEAB a big real-estate developer and that PEAB will build apartments there Råsunda now is located. That proved to be false…

So right now it’s all status quo.


Sorry for my english ^^

At 11am, they will do a ceremonial first dig with the crown princess in attendance. Don't count on the project to be completed though, there are still a lot of concerns. The thing needs a tenant other than the national team.

I don't understand why AIK refuse to be the tenant... Nothing could be better. This state-of-the-art 50K football specific stadium is the best homeground they can get considering the club's finance. Other clubs can't even dream of such a nice stadium as this.

The fact is that the stadium is going to be to big for AIK. Their average attendance is around 20 000, and that is the best it has been in history. It's not realistic that they would double their attendance.

They would not own their own events. That means that money for things sold in the stadium during games, food and drink for example, would not go to AIK.
Other teams in Sweden like Malmö FF, Elfsborg and Kalmar own their stadiums and get 100% of the revenues.

Swedbank Arena will be a world class arena, but it is not going to be a good deal for AIK.

Its ugly too...

And the stadium itself can't have any CL/WC/euro finals either... so?
Imo its throwing money in the sea.

The problem with this kind of thinking is that you assume that the stadium will be built for football. That assumption is wrong.

Also, what are the criteria for hosting Europa league and Champions league finals?

EDIT: It does look like Swedbank can host Europa League finals.

^^ I guess there could be quite a big use for this stadium for concerts during non-summer time. But then why put in natural grass?

I have said it before, this stadium is likely to be the football equivivalent of Globen - way too large for domestic use, too small for being a global stadium. The formal criteria for CL finals are 50000, but there are plenty of 65000+ candidates to hold the CL final...

Why would you want to build a stadium that can host AIK games 15 times a year, when you can build a stadium that can host much bigger events 30- 80 times a year? You have to stop thinking of Swedbank like a stadium for football only, and a stadium like råsunda where AIK is it's biggest tenant. Swedbank is not primarily built for football.

^^ Well, sure, I can agree with you that it is not primarily used for football.

But

1. For what exactly can it be used? Apart from 20 football games, i guess we will see:
* indoor athletics 1-2 times, perhaps a euro/world indoor athletics championship.
* the bandy final
* 15 concerts/year
* Speedway GP
* Melodifestivalen

2. Is it viable to have natural grass in a stadium that is primarily not built for football?

3. if this project is such a good idea, why does not a private investor build this stadium (by financing on its own or perhaps put the company on the stock market). Why does the swedish state (via AB Jernhusen) have to be involved?

Please show me a viable financial plan that shows how this stadium is gonna be paid.

I am not going to defend the financial plan for the stadium. I myself have serious doubts that the Swedbank will be a financial success.

About the grass, I talked to a person involved in the project and he said that they would probably not have grass in the stadium most time of the year. He also mentioned that they work together with other big stadiums in Europe, such as veltins, and wembley that put together events that tour these stadiums. That means you could see everything from opera to sailing events on Swedbank.

EDIT: It does look like Swedbank can host Europa League finals.


Didn't mean europa league though.

European Championship for national teams.

Didn't mean europa league though.

Well, the chance of Sweden/Norway getting the EC even with a Swedbank with a capacity of say 75 000 is very slim with regards to the other stadiums in the bid.
Even if Sweden/Norway was to build the stadiums we need for the bid we would have the lowest total capacity by far of the bids for UEFA 2016.

Swedbank will have a far better chance of getting an Europa League final.

The UEFA report on the norwegian stadiums was devastating http://msn.tv2sporten.no/fotball/ny-rapport-knuser-norges-emplaner-3049164.html

Are the tenants determined? Swedish national team, of course, will be and other tenant?

^^

Yes, the local football club AIK. But it's now uncertain if they actually will move in to the new stadium. The club thinks it is too big and there are other alternatives.

^^We don't need any alternatives, we're getting this stadium completed, i don't care if it's too large or if the Swedes prefer economy-sized buildings.

More progress on the stadium, too bad the official site don't have any regular updates with pictures.

How about transportations to stadium? Does it have any metro or tram stop nearby? Anyway definately it will be the best football stadium in the Northern Europe when completed.

^^ The Stadium will have it's own railway station and it is walking distance to two Metro stops, Solna Centrum and Näckrosen. In the future, you'll also be able to take the Crossways line (it is a light rail line transit in the suburbs of Stockholm) to the stadium.

That stadium is the most beautiful inner design(stand) in the world of 50k stadiums.
3 stair stand and suites locates in among stands.It's wonderful.

This arena looks amazing :)

Where will the new stadium be located? Is it in Hammarby, close to the old Rasunda stadium?

Hammarby is about 10 km from Råsunda (according to Google Maps, anyway), I guess you've mixed up Swedbank Arena with Söderstadion which lies very close to Hammarby. :)

But yes, the new stadium is located a small walk (like 5 min) from the old Råsunda stadium. :)

An interesting fact (dunno if it has been mentioned) is that an entirely new district is being built together with the stadium, called Arenastaden ("the Arena city"). It'll include a large hotel, living areas, Scandinavia's largest mall (Mall of Scandinavia) and, of course, the Swedbank Arena. :)

The ultras and the suporters "Black Army" will be on the first tier so you dont have to worry ;)

I wouldn't hesitate a second about that.
Sweden are really good in building smart,cheap,environmental friendly and safe. This will be the most modern stadium in Europe when it's done, atleast for a couple of weeks ;)

^^ Why is this stadium built that way? Some parts of the tribunes are almost completed, whereas the rest has barely foundations. Why the whole arena isn't built in the same pace?

^^ Why is this stadium built that way? Some parts of the tribunes are almost completed, whereas the rest has barely foundations. Why the whole arena isn't built in the same pace?

It's called prefab or precast. Concrete and other parts of the construction is fabricated on other locations and then assembled (like lego :)). The prospects of this is it's faster, cheaper, the quality of concrete is higher since the curing is done in a controlled enviroment plus its easier to monitor the quality.

It will be an amazing stadium. I don't know Swedish football but why there isn't any suit? And the construction pace is incredible. It is the best example for how a stadium should be built. Congrats!

Why no one is buling anythig in this way then? Also, I don't think it's faster. It may be cheaper but...It's just wierd (atleast for me)

How come the quality is higher?

As I said the curing is done in a controlled enviroment, meaning as good as possible conditions.
My knowledge in concrete is only basic, i'm just saying what I have read and heard. You can find more information on precast and curing at wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precast_concrete
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_curing

Why no one is buling anythig in this way then?

In Sweden (and Europe for that matter) labour costs in general are high so if you can cut the construction time it's gonna save you alot of money, that's one reason it's used alot here. I have seen a couple of arena/stadium projects done this way, for instance Swedbank Stadion, Malmö arena, Guldfågeln arena, Swedbank arena in Örnsköldsvik (not this one) and if I recall correctly De Grolsch Veste expansion.

Also, I don't think it's faster. It may be cheaper but...It's just wierd (atleast for me)

Trust me it's alot faster. On site it will save alot of hassle making molds, pouring and curing time.

I don't know Swedish football but why there isn't any suit?

There will be 92 suites and 7000 club seats.

They have not decided yet. Swedbank arena will be to big for them. They could end up at stockholmsarenan instead.

you have:

-Shalke 04 for the roof
-Istanbul, Lille for tribunes
-Amsterdam for design exterior

Where come from the grass ? :lol:

They have 3 nearly evenly sized tiers, a roof unlike Schalke's because you can't see through the Veltins Arena roof, so no, not really.

it is goona be one of the amazing stadiums

i don't like all those cables in the air

technology nowadays enables to avoid such result :ohno:

And no vip lodges? why? stockhlom is a big city No?

And no vip lodges? why? stockhlom is a big city No?

As mentioned before, there will be a bunch of suits and club seats.

I like this stadium but I still think that they should have opted for multi-use stadium area like Stade de France, with 55.000 cap and retractable roof. Track and field is popular is Sweden and it would be nice to be able to host even in this new arena.

I think it'll be a great stadium, the roof structure do look a bit messy though.

One question, will the seats really be red like on the renderings? Blue, yellow or a mix would seem a lot more obvious.

And no vip lodges? why? stockhlom is a big city No?

Aren't those VIP Boxes between the 2nd and 3rd tiers?

I don`t like the second picture because it looks like you are beating the hell out of Denmark :-)

Btw, is it a road going under the stand or is it a carpark.

I have a question : will this be the national stadium or will it be only used by AIK Fotboll ?

I have a question : will this be the national stadium or will it be only used by AIK Fotboll ?

National stadium only as of now. AIK are not getting the economic terms they want so they're seeking other options. As usual in sweden in general and in Stockholm in particular the teams are getting f***** by the government and the football association.

solna AIK played at Swedbank Arena?

The team is called AIK. And no, they hav not played at Swedbank since it isn't finished yet.


And no vip lodges? why? stockhlom is a big city No?

That's a pretty wierd sentence... Stockholm is a pretty big city, but has that got to do with VIP lodges?

nice arena:yes:

why are they building only half of the stadium? :nuts:

why are they building only half of the stadium? :nuts:

So they can use the same construction tools/equipment for the other half? (instead of having to use twice as much equipment at the same time). Just a guess.

^^Yup, but when you look over the other stadiums ins this section this is unique...and quite funny to watch actually :D

It looks rather plain to me, I also hoped that they would include 400m making it only 2nd arena in the world with retractable roof with 400m, 8 lane track field.

[QUOTE=kush92;67457019]It looks rather plain to me, I also hoped that they would include 400m making it only 2nd arena in the world with retractable roof with 400m, 8 lane track field.

They should have done that.

^^ Not really. Why? It's built for football not track and field.

Yes, but it could have been really multi awesome with 400m track and retractable stands. Just like Stade de France or "Big Eye" stadium.

The thing with retractable stands (like Stade de France) is that the whole stadium becomes a compromise. This stadium is built to be perfect for football wich will be 90% of all sporting events (my guess). If they built it track and field compatible they might host an event that would fill the stadium every second year.

So is it financially viable to pay alot more and get a stadium that is not perfect for whats it's going to host? Nope.

Im just being realistic :). It would be cool with a stadium where track and field could be hosted without destroying the football atmosphere. It might be possible with a mega budget, but in Sweden it would be really stupid.

Regarding athletics, IIRC the swedish athletics federation have endorsed this project and I would be very surprised if they don't apply for the World Indoor Athletics Championship very soon (with a temporary 200m track).

Nice stadium. BTW, it will be the National Sweden team's Stadium ??

I think Stade de france is an incredibly succesful stadium with a great atmosphere, i also think retractable flooring and tribunes should be specified more in modern stadia but take the point on finance however that applies to everything always so to me its not a point! Have a vision build it if compromise is such that the vision is blurred dont build it.

I really like this stadium and the whole area as well.

nice progress!

Whisper this quietly, but I think this arena will turn out better than the stadium under construction in lille.

I love the roof sructure, despite its scale the roof still remains to appear light and airy, whils the one in Lille appears heavy and cumbersome.

^^A French man is coming for you...

And I do agree with you ;)

i 100% disagree! :) Our roof i think is more genuine design because we don't have all these heavy cables seen on your creation.

i wonder how is it possible today to have such a roof like this without sleek in its design and seems very very cumbersome:(

^^ Well, that does not make Lille stadium any better.

What's your point, Axelferis? I like much more the Swedish Arena! It's more interesting then the one in Lille! :)

it's your choice i'm not here to talk Lille stadium but solna!

rendez vous on lille stadium thread if you want to explain why you don't like it :)

i 100% disagree! :) Our roof i think is more genuine design because we don't have all these heavy cables seen on your creation.

i wonder how is it possible today to have such a roof like this without sleek in its design and seems very very cumbersome:(

While I take your point that Swedbank Arena roof may seem a little over structured, it still appears light and airy and is well articulated from the terracing.

Le Grande Stade roof I admit is more refined in its srtucture but it dominates over the terraces almost appearing to 'suffocate' the rest of the stadium.

Axel please stop to comparate lille to the others stadiums.I love Lille but to make Lille "the best stadium of europe" you disparages or belittles the others stadiums and there will be a negative feeling on the Lille.

I love lille but more stadiums are great to them design...

:dunno: you didn't understand playolive! just look here :

Whisper this quietly, but I think this arena will turn out better than the stadium under construction in lille.

I love the roof sructure, despite its scale the roof still remains to appear light and airy, whils the one in Lille appears heavy and cumbersome.

^^A French man is coming for you...

And I do agree with you ;)

I don't think there's much between Solna and Lille, but down to just pure subjective preference, I choose Solna, partly because I have a sweet spot for boxed looking stadiums (i.e. flat sides) as opposed to round ones. Both good projects though.

Swedbank Arena

Are the seats really going to be in red or blue, yellow or a combination of the two.

Nothing has been decided yet, but I hope for a mix of different kinds of blue seats. Think that would be cool.

Something like Idrottsparken in Norköping (Sweden):
http://www.peab.se/Temp/IMG-949181843.jpg

I think the chairs on Swedbank Arena should be coloured in blue and yellow, your flag colour. It's the best combination.

That would be cool, but how do u make a blue/yellow combination that looks modern?

will be the largest stadium in Sweden ?

Axelferis, you suck!

Both Lille and Swedbank looks good. I Prefer Lille from outside, because this one looks too much like Amsterdam, but i must say much much cleaner lines / roof than Amsterdam.
Inside i prefer this to Lille. It feels more like a football stadium (tiers, angle of stands etc) where Lille feels more like concert hall.

will be the largest stadium in Sweden ?

Yes!

The second of four trusses was raised in to position today.

:eek: how they do this in winter conditions? It's dangerous no?

They must be used to it...it´s like snowy airports :lol:

The major problem with construction in cold climate weather is pouring wet concrete. But as u all probably know, they dont pour the concrete when building these stadiums these days, they bring the concrete sections in pre-fabricated to specifications.. so its all set in controlled temps, and steel is pre-fabricated too. so its only assembly really. Diggers, cranes and lots of pairs of working gloves/hard hats does the job!:)

Will those trusses be movable on some kind of rail track?

Some new renders:

Found this cool render of swedbank arena that I dont think has been posted here before

This was posted on a site about two weeks ago by a company that works on the arena. First time I see this one :)

It is only plastic so that they can work with full speed inside despite the cold weather.

When you about it is a regression compare to velstins arena schalke

There will be plenty, 92 suites and 7000 vip seats..

where?

where?
Look at this image (http://www.swedbankarena.se/files/images/bildarkiv/Interior.jpg) and go figure it out...

Even so, it's quite different from those renders.

Nah, it's still the same. It just looks alittle wierd with the covers so you don't the get the whole feel of it..

I mean, look at the height of the suites compared to the size of the stands:

I still think it looks different.

Although a part of those stands could be covered too.

Yes, atleast 4-6 rows are behind the covers..

ok :) but this roof is not a progression just a regression! it is the same than velstins made in early 2000's and they reproduce the same although some new technics to avoid cumbersome sky have been inplemented :(

If you look at the rear of the rear of the tier there's ducting and vents by the looks of things - will there be climate control within the stadium?

Fantastic looking stadium, think its nicer looking than comparable new builds at the moment such as Lille's new stadium

^^Indeed he is :lol:

Anyway being a closed stadium in cold Sweden I bet that´s some kind of huge air conditioning...

i think it's just a provocation because you know that it 's not the best! it doesn't even surpass istanbul. I prefer to say nothing about lille that technological above.

If i make a rank knowing all the characteristics this is it:

1/lille
2/Istanbul TT
3/Velstins
4/Cardiff
5/St petersburg
6/ Solna
7/Amsterdam

Haha good man Axel, always good for defence off Lille's stadium:lol: Nah it's a personal opinion more than anything, I'm a fan of the Lille Stadium also but from the roofing element, this one looks lighter for some reason.

Does anyone know what the story with those vents is?

I also Like the fact that Swedbank Arena is lighter and more aerated than lille... but knowing that Lille's one is an arena I think they didn't have choice!
Also I think thoose screens up in the air are a great thing in every stadiums! too bad that now stadiums in France doesn't use that technology.

using that technologie? :nuts: oh it 's so cool to have the shadow of those cables on grass in the middle of afternoon...very class on a tv broadcast :lol:

How many of these stadiums did you visit in the flesh?

Well it's not that disturbing! and it adds a lot of comfort for people in the stadium!
Moreover, how many daygames have you seen in France and how many games with a full sun? not a lot I guess!
