Not really, basically is because is the only way a Colombian team can afford a new stadium, selling lots and lots of VIP boxes.

Don't really like due to the amount of boxes really justs looks horrible.
Well, it is just a matter of opinion.

No, they have to go through the jungle to get there.. :D
No pal don’t be so ignorant, the jungle is really far away from there.

I’m guessing this has something to do with economics in South America the difference between the top 25% earners and the lowest 25% earners is huge bigger than many parts of the world and because of this gap there are plenty of high earners who want to watch football but in comfort and I guess greater safety and these boxes aren't as lavish as boxes in Europe or North America they are designed to get the richer people coming too football without costing an arm and a leg like in Europe and North America.
You’re absolutely right about that!!!

hey, stop saying "south american style". You dont see stadiums with 2 billion boxes in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. The closer you get to it is Boca Juniors Bombonera Stadium, but only one side has boxes (but only boxes on the other hand).


In Brazil that doesnt even exist. And if you are going to say "south america", remember Brazil occupies half of South America and has half of South America´s population.
Actually the most recent stadiums in South America use the VIP boxes as a way to get the required founds to be able to afford them. The ones you mention are pretty old stadiums and they were build in other times.

HOLY SHIT, those skyboxes look like an NFL owner's wet dream!

:eek2:
:lol:

What's going on with all the boxes? I thought S.America would be the last place that needs them. Check these out -
On top of what LS Design said, these luxury boxes aren't the luxury boxes you see in America (which are true luxury boxes). The boxes of the stadiums you showed have a small restroom, a sink (apart from the restroom sink), under a dozen seats each box and a very small living room space. Nothing special really.

personally so far i like it good traditional south american feel to it and a good size to but the location is awful.

I don't like stadiums with so many boxes.
Is there really such a large demand for them in South America?

It's in the middle of nowhere!!! :eek:mg:

Never seen anything like it.
paratroopers, thats a good name for a "barra" or suporting group, because thats how they will arrive to the stadium. jaja
I guess if you are going to build a stadium nowhere - you should be in the middle of it.
How far to downtown?
I don't understand many things about this project...

The location is unbelieveable! It's an usual thing nowadays stadiums to be built outside of town, on free areas. But on this picture i don't see any buildings, there's not even a trace form civilization arround the new arena.

And even if it's not so far from the city as it looks like, I cannot find the clear logic of the stadium, the building concept... Why so many VIP- boxes? As vertical proportion they look bigger than the normal stands on the first tier. And the tier itself looks like the typical eastern europe stadiums from the socialist era.

Too much critic maybe, but really don't like it.
bizzarre, weird.... Anyway it's obvious that it has very bad location in terms of attendance
5 MINUTES
