This 100% romanian stadium makes me proud ! Too bad that it doesn't exist an official agreement Boc & regional councils from each Romanian region (with big capitals like Constanta , Iasi , Craiova , Timisoara , Brasov) to build 5 more olympic type stadiums .
You don't need big money for that , I guess 300 mil E is enough for all and all the stadium should act as regional stadium with the possibility for multiple sports (football games , rugby , athletics or more) and concerts . Maybe if the new regions will appear on the Romanian map will be more easy for regions to bring this money . 50% for the region and 50% for Romanian state will be nice .

danutz, why to build "olympic" stadiums? why not football stadiums + smaller stadiums for athletics (around 3,000 seats)

in Cluj-Napoca the stadium is built with track because they want to host a big athletics competition, but it should be and will be an exception in Romania

@Gombos , the reason is very simple ,first of all the romanian state should replace the old and ugly municipalities stadiums with new modern multigames regionals stadiums . If you build small regional stadiums for athletics is not a good thing and has nothing to do with the words ,,great nation'' , that little job should belong to the High Schools or Universities Centers as sportive centers .
If Cluj have a 30000 seats stadium with athletics tracks , Constanta , Brasov , Iasi , Timisoara should follow . Romania was and will always be a great nation then we speaking about the athletics , as about footbal I guess we will have to wait to see some results...
The footbal is another story , in my opinion the romanian state should help the romanian footbal clubs to build 100% footbal stadiums but only if the club wants to put some good money on the project. I didn't see an good reason for romanian state to build new stadiums just for footbal without the footbal clubs help unless the reason is to organize an Euro Championship or another great event . Not now , but maybe in the future...
In every big city we need two great stadiums , one olympic type and the second one just for footbal , but we should start with the first one.

You must be confused or sthg; Romania doesn't need multipurpose stadiums everywhere as you suggest, one per region is enough(Transilvania-in Cluj, Wallachia-most likely in Bucharest, Moldova-in Iasi probably, or in Galati-Braila)...we don't need useless track and field stadiums all over.
Training can be done in small stadiums with tracks or just simple tracks, competitions can be organised in the above mentioned stadia.

It's not everywhere , just in the main cities , and if you put Timisoara in Transilvania and not considering Banat as an important region I gues that the one and onlly who is confuse is you so is better to keep your opinions for yourself. When we talking about region we are not talking about the 3 great historical region as Transilvania , Moldavia and Romanian Country that's a big mistake becouse the future of Romania is to be divided in small regions , less or more historical but geographical for sure and this are the regions I'm talking about !

This discutions have no sense either becouse , believe me , you cannot build a great stadium as Cluj Arena and say so easy that is no necesary for Timisoara to have one too ! Good for Cluj that has a great stadium but Timisoara , Constanta (not Braila or Galati if you know how big or important is Constanta for your country even in athletics ) , Iasi , Brasov and Craiova are important as regional centers and there are no big differences between Cluj and this cities.

I don't even try to nominate more than 5 other cities for this job (olympic stadium) and I didn't exagerate at all but don't forget that you are the one who cannot see a great stadium at Timisoara for the reason that is another one at Cluj Napoca ???!!! (far away one from another :ohno: 400km!!! , the Belgrad stadiums or the one from Budapest are closer :) in exchange you see 2 great stadiums close enough (from Bucharest to Galati/Braila are 230km) with no reason , you nominate those 2 cities just like that , without thinking . In the future , the South East part of Moldavia will probably join Dobrogea and part of Baragan but the capital of this new region will be Constanta and never Galati or Braila so why should built a new stadium outside the capital of the region X city Constanta ? How is that ? Is Constanta less important then Braila or Galati ? Oh , no , not at all , becouse Constanta is more important then Braila plus Galati , so that's the true and the reallity . Don't forget that Constanta is a metropola with 500000 habitants and in the summer you can double that number for sure and is a top city in Romania !

By the way , for your knowledge Braila is not in Moldavia region and never was and Galati despite of the fact that is part of Moldavia is at the edge of this region far, far away from the other moldavian big cities so let it go , man ! To build 100% footbal stadium with 100% money from Romanian state or local/regional councils is a great stupidity and doesn't help the romanian sports , one of you folks just forget about athletics or rugby and just minimize the importance of other sports than football. Is not correct and is not fare , we cannot cheat the real civilization !

I suggested the 3 track&field stadiums for those cities because of the geographical&historical importance (Banat, Maramures,Crisana regions are minor compared to the big 3:Transilvania,Moldova,Wallachia), for the rest of the cities I want to see normal football(maybe rugby too) stadiums.
Timisoara,Craiova,Brasov,Constanta can have normal stadia with no tracks(built at some point in time).
Btw, you give some erroneous info(ex: Constanta doesn't have 500k people even considering the metropolitan area...the whole Dobrogea region is around 700k peps), and act a little belligerent, keep cool and give arguments as to why should we build athletics stadiums in all these big cities(and don't tell us: because Ceausescu did so).

Kamadeva man you haven't give us an logical explanation, in fact you keep suggesting that the Romanian state should load money in the ass of some characters as Borcea , Becali , Mititelu , Pinalty or other jackals to build new footbal stadium .

If you want to see just 100 % footbal stadium you should built one with your own hands and your own money or put some club owners for doing that job because I don't want to sustain your stupid cause it's similar with a sport manela to me . An public stadium should have tracks as Cluj Arena has , that's a fact in all the civilization world and I hope that you want to join it...

At list get a book or a link to Constanta Metropola and see that has 500000 people there , don't put your ideas here before you checking your own words , it's not a good thing to do for you or the others on this thread !

Finally , Timisoara is a great city and you don't look to have a clue about the Transilvania region and everything so your opinion about Transilvania doesn't count , Transilvania doesn' mean just Cluj Napoca in fact is a huge region and that's the reason why is divided in small countries as Banat , Crisana or Maramures (not as you trying to suggest that Banat , Crisana and Maramures aren't part of Transilvania) becouse all that small countries have a lot in common but in the same are a lot of difference between them too...So who are you to tell us that Cluj Napoca is more important then Timisoara or that Timisoara doesn't need a big public stadium with tracks just for the reason that Cluj has already one ? I answer myself and everyone too : nobody ! So keep your opinions for yourself , I mean it and stop teaching us becouse nobody wants to listening you...Get or make you own school if you want it so !

P.S. All the big cities in Italy have stadiums with tracks so what you try to suggest is that Ceausescu made stadiums in Italy too ? I think that you should stop fooling yourself , it's embarassing for everyone here...In Africa are not so many stadiums with tracks , neither in South or Central America but no civilisation too .

How about you stop wasting this topic and keep your ideas for yourself! All you do is brag that you have the best ideas and everybody else should build stadiums like they want out of their own money.
Why don't you just go and build your own athletics track out of your own money? If your ideas are so good invest in them and see if you get any profit...keep that tone down while your at it, you're giving examples of civilization but you seem to suffer at this point.

[QUOTE=PaulFCB;84030693]
PaulFCB, if you are the owner of this site just put on this thread the property paper and I swear I'm out out of here forever . But in the contrary can you shut your mouth forever and stop acting like a manelist boy (like always do on this forum)? If you are nervous I can recomand you a good doctor :lol: , is better that way plus this is a free forum and a free thread so I don't need your correction , keep it just for you and also for your family :) if you have little kids :lol: :cheers:


In all this world the new regionals/municipalities stadiums in big cities are not made for profit that's why there are popular stadiums build for everyone including you :) with tracks . I repet, the 100 % footbal stadiums are build by the clubs and not by the local councils , exceptions are just in case of a great event like a new footbal stadium for Euro or if the both parts or maybe more than that (including guvernament) put money in the project.

As about the money, your National Arena will return 230 mil E in 100 years so what you want to say is that if National Arena has tracks the money will come in 101 years ? :lol: What's a matter with you , what is your reason when you say that a stadium without tracks is much comercial (profitable) than one with tracks ? In my opinion , is right viceversa becouse with a multi-sport stadium you can organize more competitions including the international athletics and for the concerts you can sell more tickets on the pitch zone :)

I'm not a fan of the olympic stadiums neither but this is the fact and this is the way for us to be followed when we are talking about great cities like Timisoara , Constanta , Iasi , Brasov or Craiova !
For example in Ploiesti is no need for a stadium with tracks but Timisoara will definately need one big olympic +40000 stadium becouse is a very important city in Romania maybe more important than Cluj Napoca is .

Nobody is against Iancu to build now a footbal stadium with or without the help of Romanian guvernament or for romanian guvernament to build one for Euro 20XX !

If you are smart enough , maybe is good for you if you are not answering :bash:

Yeah, Timisoara needs exactly a +40k Olympic Stadium ( btw, Olympic Stadium is something, a stadium with track is totally different, a Summer Olympic stadium can't only have 40k ) is like saying 'because fuck them, that's why I believe they need'. Maybe you can come with arguments other than 'they need because they're municipalities' that are worth 0.
Maybe you live in your own world and think athletics track stadiums can bring extra cash, but you just can't see that in Romania a multi-purpose stadium over 10k is just overkill with the exception that it can host an important event ( and for that there's need for one stadium, not one per region ) that is very short in time and is usually chosen while it's still a proposal, not a done thing. So if you think I said all the investment has to be covered in 3 days, then it's your mistake, nobody said anything like that, but money is money more is better than less, so unless any income from these stadiums are banked for 100 years any income is important for the owners ( neither public or private ), any extra income is a plus.
While some may have some interest for athletics, others like Italy have done grand mistakes in building stadiums like Delle Alpi, San Paolo or the one in Bari. Juventus ended up going back to Communale till they would build a football stadium to actually have supporters in the stands, Naples never hosted any athletics event and people are pushing for renovation while others are simply white elephants because they don't have supporters like Naples and a team that can attract them. So instead of learning from others mistakes, your idea is to better 'try them ourselves, wtf'.
So whatever you think, in democracy your opinion a simple one amongst many, as long as people will buy tickets and spend money on games on football-only stadiums than on multi-purpose, than football-only wins public investments over others, I don't even know if you care about how the stadiums are 'because you don't like'em anyway but you promote them' well, ask someone who would actually spend his money on something like this, cause on TV it's the same for everyone...but I see some simply have communist ideas: "how I see it", "How I say it's better", "you better not tease me cause I always should have the final word on something".

I for one give up on this guy.

Nice stadium Cluj.Can't wait to go there.

Big up!^^

PaulFCB , there are a lot of municipalities in Romania so you don't read exactly my point ... Who talks about the municipalities in Romania anyway , I'm talking just about the capital of the regions and just about the big cities as Timisoara , Cluj Napoca , Brasov , Constanta , Iasi or Craiova are .
So , there are just 7 cities including Bucharest for which I have suggested that should have multi-sports stadiums including tracks and that's the 100%guvernament job plus local or new regional councils . Every of this cities deserve that plus any footbal stadium is necessary to be build in all this cities but in the last case is the clubs job either. In this case is like that you want to build big sport halls just for handbal and just becouse the handbal is more popular than other sports in Romania :)

I don't want to see 100 stadiums +30000 in Romania but 7 will be nice and also good respect for the romanian athletics performances and also for ourself.

In Bucharest for example is nice to have +50000 footbal stadium but an olympyc 70000 is also necessary if you want to count in sport world events and if you want to show that Romania is an important nation .

Footbal is great and popular enough in Romania but is our duty to not forget about other sports that make us prouds ...Romania is a great nation , is hard to compare with Bulgaria , Hungary or even Croatia but often we forget about that:ohno:

As about the democracy in Romania that's another story and if you believe in romanian democracy that says a lot about you...Even the fact that the guvernament or different councils wants to build stadiums for some clubs and for other not talks many about the democracy in Romania :lol:

One nice shot:

Few days before grand opening and no serious photo update ? People from Cluj where are u ? :ohno:

Only finishing touches and cleaning of the site are left to be done. Why post pictures now when lots and lots of images will be online tomorrow, when it officially opens?

I lost track, when it was suppose to open.

I like in the last picture how they incorporated the old water fountain in the pathway. I hope it's not leaking though...

Why worried about pics? these folks put lots and lots of pics throughout the project, I've been checking them out for the past year on a weekly basis. Thanks boys.

AND BRAVO CLUJ! Nice arean, with tracks (even though I don't like it) I see being public money they did whatever they thought it would be best for the city. NO need to start another debate on this folks, what's done it's done.

My only complaint is that I live too far away to enjoy this new stadium, like I use to when I was a kid. But I'll make sure to make the most of it when I come over for a visit again.

HAIDE U!

Yes, tomorrow (or today, it's past 12) is the official opening for the public. This is followed by 2 days of concerts in the 8th and 9th (with Scorpions and Smokie being the headliners) and a friendly between "U" and Dan Petrescu's team, Kuban Krasnodar (October 11). :cheers:

100 years after the first stadium of Cluj was built (1911), 50 years after it was completely rebuilt (1961) we have a brand new, shinny stadium. :D

i like it! it s much more fashionable than the National Arena from Bucharest. the seats, the interior design, the materials used for the membrane wall at the exterior, the architectural shape, everything!
also it will look much better when the tower will be build, otherwise it seems unfinished.

It can be moved to completed.

This is by far the best athletic stadium under construction:cheers:

uF5lJM-p1qw

also it will look much better when the tower will be build, otherwise it seems unfinished.
I don't think there will be a tower anymore...Where do you want to build it? On top of the sports hall, which is under construction near the stadium??? Or in the park on the other side?


Back to the stadium..... U CLuj had a great start of the season (2nd place after 9 games). It looks like we will see some european competition games here next year. :cheers:

where it s supposed to be built, connected by that black volume suspended on the columns, from the main entrance. check out the initial plans!
or maybe you re out of space, can t read some plans?

You don't have to be a wiseguy. Relax...Yes, I've seen the original plans...AND THEY HAVE BEEN MODIFIED. (as we can all see the end result)
There will be no tower. Or you think it's possible to build a 25-floor building just like that, without digging everything up again. I guess it needs a bigger foundation than the one of a house's. The tower should have been built together(paralel) with the stadium. But they've modified the original plans.

Looke here: http://www.gazetadecluj.ro/citeste/2650-stadionul-modificat-datorita-politicului

The problem is not the space, but the funding. It can still be built, there's plenty of space between the stadium and the hall for such a construction. If you don't believe us, there's an interview in GSP where Tiganas, the main architect of the stadium, stated that the tower can still be erected, it's just a matter of investors.

LE:
Mai este o idee specifică acestui stadion, conectarea cu turnul, prevăzut pe partea cu Someşul, care nu a fost încă realizat. E o investiţie care nu e prevăzută pe buget public,
Consiliul Judeţean caută investitori privaţi. Noi am inventat-o, nu a fost cerută. În acel turn pot fi un hotel, magazine, săli de conferinţe. Nu ne va incomoda Sala Polivalentă, care se
ridică deja, există spaţiu între ele, turnul poate fi construit.

Looke here: http://www.gazetadecluj.ro/citeste/2650-stadionul-modificat-datorita-politicului

the stadium is the first step, then the tower, but, as alex said before, they are waiting for an investor to build it. the plans haven t changed, only as delaying the development.
and yes, it s possible digging for the new foundations, right next to the stadium existing ones, as the tower has it s own independent structure.

The problem is not the space, but the funding. It can still be built, there's plenty of space between the stadium and the hall for such a construction. If you don't believe us, there's an interview in GSP where Tiganas, the main architect of the stadium, stated that the tower can still be erected, it's just a matter of investors.

LE:

Yes, but it would be a different construction. The tower and the stadium was one(1) project, one construction (as it's mentioned also in the newspaper-article i quoted in my last posting) ...which has been modified, and ended up not having a tower anymore... which means that they've modified the roof-structure (which should have been conected to the canceled tower), plus the foundation which they made for that small building at the entrance is for sure not enough to build a 25-floor building. So i'm not sure if technically is still possible to build that same tower from the original project, so close to the stadium,... without demoloshing the main stand of course :nuts:....(which would be stupid in my opinion, because the stadium looks just fine as it is now...but hey, if somebody has the money for something like that, then i guess there are no barriers)

P.S.@pescarush . I don't understand why you think that the stadium looks unfinished? How many stadiums do you know, which have an office high-rise tower attched to them? This stadium is unique as it is right now....you don't have to build a big-ass tower to make it more special. Plus, such a construction has nothing to do there, where there are already problems with the lack of space, narrow roads, and not enough parking places...

The "small building" is just the "bridge" between the stadium and the tower, it' not the foundation of the last. The roof structure has indeed been modified, but that's a minor aspect, as it does not affect the construction of the tower.

The tower CAN still be rised, it's just a matter of money, as I said before.

^^ exactly!

@evil
cause the whole ensemble was designed with the 2 major volumes from the begining. and as a principle of architecture, the tower represents the verticality, cuting the orizontality of the stadium, also the position in the urban context is good, as a signal point and close to other bigger buildings existing, in construction or proposed.
also there s the architect option and not the investors one, which makes this tower to have the correct location, due to urbanistic analyses.

oooh nice! i like the lamp posts!

We can move this thread in complete section.

Luxury boxes are to be added during winter, so it's not REALLY completed. But, if someone decides to move it, the thread should be called CLUJ-NAPOCA - Cluj Arena (30,335). This until a company buys the naming rights.

40.000 people attended the Scorpions concert last night.

First match on the stadium, "U" Cluj - Kuban Krasnodar 0-4. The result meant nothing, the crowd was fantastic.

please, What material is this? aluminum? the inside view shows some translucent....

The facade of the arena is made out of metallic sheets with many small holes on their surface, so that, from the inside, the cover of the stadium seems almost transparent.

Thanks man!!!

The stadium is finished, serkan.de, please move it to the other section.

Cluj won it's first official game, 1-0 against Brasov on Sunday night after being crushed by Kuban in the first friendly game.

Cluj is a city, Paul.

You're welcome, G.

Cluj is a city, Paul.

Thanks, I didn't know that, thought Cluj-Napoca was the city, seat of the Cluj county, you citizen :nocrook:.

Oh, my bad. :D

very nice stadium!

im liking the facade. the material and shape of it looks awesome!

I visited the stadium recently and I can say that I'm really impressed of how the arena looks like, considering that it's a tight budget project. The sports hall their are building next to the stadium is progressing well also.

Yes, the facade is great, the only thing I actually like more at this stadium face to Arena Nationala in Bucharest.
The truth is, I still don't understand why the one in Bucharest doesn't have one, it gets very cold in autumn and winter and you have to face the winds especially if you are seated on the last rows.

It look much better then I expected! Good job! Congrats!

awesome!

Any recent pictures?

good job! It looks great and unique for that cheap price!!!
This is how to do it.

Also i like the neighbourhood with the river and the houses. It's not build in a triste place!

good to see that romania make some progress. But Timisoara needs a new stadium also. They have the best support and Timisoara is vibrant city

Everytime I look at it I love it. Very, very elegant stadium design. Shame about the track, I hope they use it.

Any recent pictures?

Will look as if I'm advertising my own website, but we've recently been approached by the architects of this charming stadium and gifted with one exceptional photo - the first you'd find in the link below (we are however not allowed to redistribute the photo by law, so I'm not officially pasting it here...).

@michal, there are 30.335 seats, and 629 VIP for business class, 748 for standard VIP and 87 for VVIP, so total are 1464 for VIP. Here are some photos from VIP rooms: http://www.citynews.ro/cluj/eveniment-29/vezi-cum-arata-zonele-vip-ale-stadionului-cluj-arena-202994/galerie-foto/

Have you got any source for that? It's not that I don't believe you, but the data we published was from officials so I am pretty surprised and would like to be sure when altering it.

Well, when the stadium was finished the president of city council ( witch is the owner of this stadium ) has published official numbers, and 100% they are correct.

"Din total 629 de scaune sunt pentru VIP, clasa business, 748 VIP, clasa standard, iar 87 de scaune sunt VVIP. La acestea se adauga 32 de locuri pentru persoane cu dizabilitati locomotorii, 168 de scaune destinate presei si 114 scaune pentru comentatorii TV, in timp ce 29.557 de scaune vor fi destinate spectatorilor."

This means: From the total of 30.335 seats there are 629 are for VIP Business, 748 for VIP Standard and 87 for VVIP. Then we have 32 seats for people with disabilities, 168 seats for press and 114 for TV commentators. And from the total of 30.335, we have 29.557 for fans.

I still can't believe a stadium with that level of design and finish came in at such a low price. Really sharp stadium

Just my opinion but overall impression of this stadium is a very old look not modern at all. Could quite easily be an 80's stadium that was thought modern at the time. Cant quite put my finger on it, perhaps a combination of a plain facade and running track with lots of grey, the curves dont make it modern but just through my eyes, sure the actual facilites are first class as a new stadium.

Really cool stadium. And when I look at the part of the facade on the curves, which seems to imitate wickerwork, I think to myself that Narodowy in Warsaw would also look better if it was monochromatic cold grey like this one in Cluj.
