Wait a minute guys; 300 M for a 75000 seater is a total deal.
Allianz arena 340 in the current config the average to get that now.
Wembley is wembley and london is london fair enough
The Emirates stadium is around 390 M Pounds Lyon new arena around 500 M euros and these two are or are going to be 60000 seater.
Most world cup 2006 are also an incredible deals but you have to consider the fact that the deals were signed 5 years ago on average.
The first decent NFL arena is cost a minimum of 700 USD and generally land aquisition is way cheaper

4000 a seat in 2006 is an absolute deal especially since it's located downtown! not 10km away from the first urban area.

The design doesn't look cheap either this is all the way up there in my ranking. 4000 a seat well on rendering it worths every penny!

Viva Valencia!

Yes, I also think that the real cost will be more than 400m €
In Valencia we have a lot of examples of this:
Palau de les Arts (1995-2005) was estimated in approximately 150 m€, and finally it costs more than 400m €

The building that appears behind in the center of the photo:

What an authentic concept for a stadium!!Making the connection between the football club and the community through the stadium. The designer definitly has a deep understanding of the meaning of sport arena. That is some great artchitecture out there.

it is surely one of the best stadia in the world, atleast I like it very much. I do not believe in sayings as the best (concerning buildings, this I think you can only say in sport, you could say Italy is worldchampion and so they are the best, not with buildings mop)
But my question is, what does this design still have to do with the original design?

A bunch of people here are talking about how the inside is just another generic bowl. I'm interested to know exactly what these people feel could be done to improve the inside of a stadium? Build it like Old Trafford? Or maybe like the Ricoh Arena?



OAKA is nice and all, but it's basically little more than an OTT variation of a general external stadium shape that was also used in Sydney and, indeed, Hong Kong stadium. The fact that the roof is held by suspension and has a few waves in it does not make the stadium special in any way whatsoever.

I for one think it could be the best in the world when completed. Just make sure the Brits don't find out someone is building the best instead of their precious Wembley.:eek:hno:

nice to see someone being a bit daring for once thats what i like about stadiums in spain while the bernabeau and nou camp are rarely full at least you can get a ticket with little hassel.I mean an increase of 23,000 seats (from 52k-75k) will make a huge difference whereas u look at the new anfield an increase of only 15,000 for a club selling out regularly is meaningless tickets will still be like goldust and dont even get me started on the new lansdowne road

3 complete tiers = Allianz in football mode no matter how you look at it.

And no one answers. What makes this surpass other stadiums? It doesn't have the eye popping numbers of others. I like the track system, but other stadiums have their own unique technical aspects. I think its the prettiest exterior we've seen to date, but convince me otherwise.
