Could someone tell me what are the buildings in the across the street used for. There are a lot of residential buildings NE and EW corner of the picture but there are also some older buildings in the NW corner of the picture. I wonder what´s it like living next door to a huge arena and having almost 100.000 people coming to your neighbourhood weekly.

Thanx. :okay:

Whan it was built, it set the standards for all other stadiums around the world. Before it, there was no stadiums with the roof like that (huge arch covered with transparent lexan)...except maybe the Munich olympic stadium in 1972. which used acrylic glass panels. :cheers2:

@Greek friends.

You are right about the parking spaces, they are not extensive and the reason I can think is that all the stadiums in Athens have excellent connection with the public transport system, you don't need to have a car to go anywhere (Thank god for the Olympics)
Of course you can see on the right the parking space

http://www.airphotos.gr/photo5/5991.jpg

In this photo which I am bored to edit, you can see two green line metro stations , near the velodrome, and in front of the Athens Mall.

http://www.airphotos.gr/photo5/5989.jpg

As for Faliro Complex there is a green line station exactly in front of the Karaiskaki stadium on the right. On the left there is the tram station right next to the Peace and Friendship stadium.

are you kidding me? so what the rest of the world thinks we Americans are arrogant? does it really matter? I'm not one of those of guys that would be ashamed of our military power, our wealth or even our technological advancement. we are the most technologically advanced nation the human race has ever witnessed. so why the hell would I be ashamed of that? I simply stated the obvious but the insecurity and jealousy kicked in and others wanted to jump... like it matters.

Grow up.

Let's get this back on topic, I remember a while back finding this website http://www.webbaviation.co.uk/stadiums/stadiums.htm that has a host of aerial shots of English football grounds for your enjoyment.

Why do they have cricket-type round stadiums in Argentina and Brazil?

Its just an old style. The actual style is mainly oval stadiums. Round ones were constructed in Argentina and Brazil between 1940 and 1980. Actually, round stadiums have the best view, because any seat looks to the centre of the field.

how do you work that one out.

1. you are further away from the pitch.

2. the goals aren't in the centre of the pitch!

Rubbish! A stadium like Racing's does not have a better view than grounds where the stands hug the pitch.

The Allianz, all of the new stadiums in South Africa, every new proposed football stadium is rectangular or a rectangular bowl with rounded corners. Show me a proposal for a new football-only stadium that's circular...

Thanks for the book, I think I will take a look at it. But Im afraid, we dont have the same concept of a round stadium. I dont like round stadiums with seats far away from the pitch. I mean, Im refering to round stadiums which are intersected with the pitch, providing a nearer view.

View from the 2nd tier of a round "intersected" stadium. I think its beautiful, you dont have to look down because there is a certain distance between the pitch and the 2nd tier.

February 26th, 2009, 01:41 PM

Well the issue of optimum views is actrually a fairly simple 3 dimensional geometric problem. In a rectangular stadium the spectators are generally closer to the pitch than in an oval or round stadium. In a round or oval stadium spectartors face more towards the center. But for this, in each row the seats in the middle of each side necessarily have to be moved back a little and thus are further away from the pitch. What the optimum solution is, depends on the priorities that one has of course.
If it's a very big stadium it would probably be a big priority to get the spectators, especialy all those in the rear as close to the pitch as possible, to imrove their view. In a small stadium, one where the viewingdistance isn't quite as critical one might instead prefer to have the seats facing more towards the center for better viewing comfort.
But fact is, only in a rectangular stadium can the seats be placed as close to the pitch as possible. And steep stands also help improving the view of course, because you don't have someone elses head in front of you in the view.
The only thing I like about the round stadiums which have tiers still fairly close to the pitch, as shown in the pic by "Jmb & Co" is that in the corners of the pitch you somewhat feel more like being in the center. You feel more integrated and not like being out at one end of the stadium somewhere in a corner. But the quality of the view in those places near one of the corners of the pitch is basically allways pretty much the same, no matter if the seats in the center of the sides are "moved back" a bit to create a round or oval tier /stadium or not. Rectangular stadiums theoretically do have a slightly better view (at least they can have - there of course are few exceptions of rectangular stadiums with pretty bad views), round or oval ones may on the other hand have a little bit of a nicer atmosphere, because of the bowl effect if you prefer that look to the rectangular stadiums.(which I personally don't)

JimB

February 26th, 2009, 03:10 PM

Way I can see it is, Rectangular stadiums bring you far closer to the game, but it means you're going to have to do a lot of head turning and leaning over to see corners etc. (unless you're in the end stand I suppose, but you'll be further away when it's down the other end)

Whereas circular stadiums are further away from the action, but provides a more encompassing view of the game as most seats are facing the centre of the pitch.

Whether one is better than the other is probably down to what your cultural opinion is.

For those with severely restricted neck movement, a circular stadium may be best.

For everyone else, a rectangular stadium (with all stands close to the pitch along their entire length) will always be better for a game that is played on a rectangular pitch.

JmB & Co.

February 26th, 2009, 03:29 PM

Both rectangular and round stadiums are old styles. I prefer round ones as you know, but Im afraid I would have to admit that there are not projects of this caracteristics. Current stadium projects are mainly oval. This type of stadium takes the best of round and rectangular ones.

For those with severely restricted neck movement, a circular stadium may be best.

For everyone else, a rectangular stadium (with all stands close to the pitch along their entire length) will always be better for a game that is played on a rectangular pitch.

It depends where in the stand you sit I suppose, it'll probably be a better view if you can get a seat in the dead centre of the stand (of a rectangular stadium), but if you're put at the very end block in the back row, it's very possible you're going to have trouble watching corners and near side action, at the other end of the pitch. When it's at your end however you're going to have perhaps the best view in the stadium.

It could just depend on individual grounds though, perhaps some bigger ones with more of a rake it won't be so bad, i'm speaking of my experience of following lower league teams.

You can understand how circular grounds probably don't have that problem as wherever you sit points you to the centre, but they're fault is being further away from the action overall. I can't speak of how it really is however as i've never been to one.

The drawback to benefit ratio of circular stadiums is heavily weighted towards drawback. Yes, it is possible that someone in the corner of a rectangular stadium might not get the best of views of the action in the extreme corner at the far end (but on the same side) of the stadium. But the truth of the matter is that only the most miniscule fraction of game will be spent in that area of the pitch. At corners, for instance, no one pays much attention to the player delivering the ball. The attention is almost exclusively focused on what happens inside the penalty area - whether the keeper will catch the ball or whether the attacking team will get a header on target, score a goal etc.

That is odd, I can see all of them. Don't know if you are the only one. Do you see red crosses? Maybe refresh the page a couple of times or paste the url of a picture in a new window to see if it shows up.

Venue: Villa Park, Aston, Birmingham, UK
Home to Aston Villa F.C
Capacity: 42,640

English Heritage National Monument

Villa Park is the home of Aston Villa Football Club and stands on land which previously formed part of the formal gardens of nearby Aston Hall. The football club was one of the founding members of the football league and as such, parts of the ground are of significant historical interest. The club moved to the site in 1896 and initially re-used Victorian structures of the formal gardens and a basic sports ground as their offices and changing rooms. In 1914, work began in earnest to develop the site and Archibald Leitch was engaged as architect. The First World War delayed building work until 1922, when the Trinity Road stand was constructed. A grand main stairway flanked by pedimented towers was added to the frontage. Stained glass was used throughout and the external brickwork was decorated with gold and maroon mosaics. The quality of detail created by Leitch was unlike anything seen in a football stand before. The demands on the ground for use in domestic cup, international and World Cup matches have meant fairly frequent alterations and extensions to the ground. In 2000, the magnificent Trinity Road Stand designed by Leitch was demolished due to high maintainance cost and to increase capacity. This followed the replacement of the Holte End in 1994. By 2007, the oldest part of the ground was the 1977 North Stand. Villa Park will be a venue for football at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Well, they have the concept but I don't think the money is there. Last I heard the public funds they were requesting were up for public vote and then removed from consideration to the economic woes of the time. I must admit, it seemed egregious to ask for approx. $200M for renovating the stadium, at least at this time. More importantly, I'm surprised the University couldn't afford to cover more of the costs outright.

The proposed renovations look great though.

I don't consider tower to be part of the stadium. Just like floodlights. Even tho it is part of the complex.

Not only Poljud but also NK Split stadium (which will be crashed soon, and they'll build new one). In back there's also Stari Plac, old Hajduk's stadium which is used for Rugby today (well, only 1 stand is left, they crushed rest of it). On bottom there is Spaladium indoor arena and next to it is ugly ass military port Lora which i'd personaly blow up and build something useful and nice there... but Ballota doesn't agree with my opinion :lol:

Btw... what's with the area between stadiums? What are they building there?

March 17th, 2009, 10:52 PM

That "ugly ass" thing is not the navy base but the shipyard hangar. The base is to the lower right..not visible on the image. ;)
Between the stadiums is a small hill with a park in it. A recreational zone.
Btw. that "wavy" thing next to the Poljud stadium are the Poljud indoor pools.

I remember Glasgow from when Oz played Scotland in the World Cup qualifiers in 1985. Way back then, Oz was only a semi pro team and Scotland was a traditional GIANT of the game.

Almost laughable to think along those lines now. Scotland is absolute cannon fodder for the Socceroos.

Mind you I do recall Scotland was VERY lucky in the second leg in Melbourne to survive the onslaught.

Keep dreaming. A few years ago, it was true that Scotland were crap, but that was down to a terrible terrible German manager we had (Berti Voghts) who had no clue about anything. Since then we've beaten teams like France home and away, Holland, Ukraine..etc.

All the "Socceroos" have to beat to get to a World Cup are some villagers from Borneo and Islanders from Tonga, we have to take on teams of the calibre of Italy, France, Russia, Germany..etc

I was at the Australia game in 1985, you were well beaten 2-0. So don't try to fool the natives on here with your 'onslaught' rubbish. :lol:

Oh..and presently the "Cannon fodder" are four places above lowely Australia in the FIFA World Rankings.

^^^^^^^^^^

Those rankings mean very little.

Scotland would struggle to beat Lithuania, where soccer is very much as 3rd or 4th ranked sport and they are ranked in the 70's on your 'rankings'.

I would place Scotland in the New Zealand/Canada bucket. In fact I would be curious to know what the result would be between New Zealand and Scotland.

:lol: Of course they "Mean very little" to you, because they've just blown your arguement right out of the water. OFFICIAL Fifa rankings.... for those of you not aquainted with "soccer"...thats the World's governing body...and the rankings are based on results, not speculation and complete supposition from someone still going on about how they could have won a tie over 24 years ago. I can only speculate that because you are below Scotland, results for the 'invincible' socceroos haven't been quite as fantastic as you're trying to make out. :banana:

You say Soccer is a 3rd or 4th ranked sport in Lithuania.....the fact that it's their 1st ranked sport shows what you know about whats going on here in Europe...ie..nothing.
Like I said, the only reason you're at the World Cup more often than us is because you rarely have to take on anyone more awesome than fishermen from Fiji or Vanuatu in the qualifiers :lol: ...We take on proper countries such as Italy and France. We play at a higher level up here. :wave:

P.S. Last time we played Lithuania..in 2007..we beat them 3-1.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Listen, how did Scotland go against it's last two Oceania opponents(Oz was still in the OFC when they last played the Scots)? Australia and New Zealand, at home in Glasgow. You were trounced on BOTH occasions my friend! The rankings mean nothing to nations like Australia because we do not get to play meaningful 'A' internationals often enough. Mind you since we have moved to Asia, we have improved that, but it is still only a 2nd division confederation that even a agricultural team like Scotland could do well in.

If Australia was in UEFA, do you think the game would be in such a lowly state for the past century? Of course not. We would be a far better team and probably have won a few things by now. That confederation system really sucks.

On Lithuania, you obviously do not know much about the joint. They like soccer, but nothing like their basketball, volleyball, handball, hockey. Scotland should really concentrate on a sport they could do well in, like rugby. They will never be a top nation again like they were in the past.

They fucked up firing Ken Macha, though.

Someone needs to intervene and stop Al Davis from running his once-proud franchise farther into the ground. The game has long passed him by. This ain't the '70s or '80s (or even '90s) anymore, Al--you need to hang 'em up.

30k was presented while there were talks about oganizing euro 2012. because we didn't get the euro, the stadium was put on hold. but there were rumors about building smaller version of this stadium with 20.000 capacity. probably this version is more likely to be built. anyway this will be next stadium built in Rijeka, jus don't know when...

That was too easy for you...

Yes, that's from the early 1950s when the "Boulogne" end was first covered. The opposite end, "Auteuil", was covered a few years later.

Here is the complete image of the original postcard. The other stadium is Stade Jean-Bouin, home of rugby team Stade Français.
