Architects: HOK Sports + Events + Venue

Muuuuuch better than the previous proposal for Natal.
Interior looks really nice, I wonder about the 'holes' in the 2nd tier though. Do they have any purpose?

great, fantastic, btw these girls on renders are beautiful :nuts:

Seems like HOK copied the design they already used at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
That said, I do like it.

LOL ... I remember seeing pictures of this girl all over the internet during the last World Cup in Germany.

BTW, there is a place called Natal in Brazil too? At first I thought this was about a stadium in South Africa for their WC.

It reminds me a fusion between the first project for the Estádio Cidade de Coimbra from the late 90's and the University of Phoenix Stadium.

One of my favourite WC 2014 stadium designs!

The "holes" seem to be for thermic comfort and air renovation. Natal is almost always sunny ("The Sun City" is its nickname). The temperature there is between 25/30 Celsius (77/86 Fahrenheit) no matter the time of the year (in winter, 20C/68F minimum; in summer, 35C/95F maximum), so it is extremely necessary to have proper ventilation. And the matches will be at noon!
If you go (and if you go you`ll have a wonderful time, cause the city is beautiful, the people friendly, warm and nice, the food excellent), use sunscreen all times!

^^ Thanks for the info Nemo.

I love this stadium. It looks really good.

It will be the most beautiful stadium of the 2014 WC!!!

Wow, it looks amazing. I love the design.
I hope Sweden gets to play in Natal, then I will definetly be there.

PROJECT most beautiful of all

Certainly, it will be the most modern stadium of the brazilian´s WTC.

It's one of the best projects of WC 2014 if not the best IMO.

Fantastic project! Surely one of the most beautiful stadiums in South America!

great

The roof is very beautiful, the main attraction from the outside!

¡¡Nice!!

Great design, I like it a lot. Q: Those buildings next to the stadium are being built at the same time as the stadium?

it sort of look like the nelson Mandela bay stadium in port Elizabeth SA

Hombre, speak english or get lost.

The Arena das Dunas, which is sort of like a cross between the University of Phoenix Stadium and the San Nicola Stadium, will replace the existing Cláudio Vasconcelos de Machado Stadium, or Machadao.

http://mavalem.sites.uol.com.br/rn/Machadao3.jpg

The Machadao Stadium, the Machadinho Arena,and several other buildings will be demoed for the Dunas Arena.

Finally, work has begun for the new arena!

The earthworks started this week in the areas adjacent to the old stadium and the foundations to the new one will start there. Since most of the new stadium won't be in the old one area, they decided to not implode it and take it down mechanically.

Here are some pictures:

It reminds me to the Estadio Anoeta of Real Sociedad

When is this gonna be ready?

2013 probably

omg this is so late!!

Are they also going to build a new indoor arena near the stadium? Because now the arena is going to be demolished

I'm thinking of going back to Natal for 2013 not that the world cup is not exciting enough just that I could get used to spending a ridiculous amount of time at the beach drinking, surfing, eating, chatting the locals... enjoying myself stupid in these dunes...

Nice stadium too! Really, cherry on top!

A little late to answer but as far as I know, no, it won't be built a new one..


Update: The indoor arena doesn't exist anymore and the stadium began to be taken down. Also, they drew the lines of where the future field will be set to help visualize:

Here is the roof been taken:

It also has a changed bowl that seems rounded now. Why would that be?

I think thats just a poor render, nobody knows exactly how the stadium will be

I think thats just a poor render, nobody knows exactly how the stadium will be

I think that the internal area will be in rectangular shape.
