#COMPLETED :"Jaber Stadium"

July, 2004 Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium‏:

The government of Kuwait recently awarded a contract to the local AL-KHARAFI GROUP for the construction of a new sports stadium. According to the terms of the award AL-KHARAFI will be responsible for building a state-of-the-art stadium that will have an installed seating capacity of 60,000 fans.

Construction plans call for building what is claimed to be one of the finest stadiums in the Middle East where all the fans will have their own rotating plastic seat,over an area of 400,000 square meters. ‏
‏Construction is due to be completed by October 2006.‏
‏The stadium is to be the heart of an entire sports city that includes ‏
‏multi-purpose courts and halls as well as an Olympic pools complex and parking ‏‏for over 6500.‏

The 10-gate facility is designed like a traditional Kuwaiti Boum (type of ‏
‏dhow) from lateral view. As to top view, the design resembles a horse saddle. ‏
‏The design thus represents something from both the marine and desert ‏
‏environment. Inside the stadium, there are two big display screens.‏

Good, well Kuwait is finally investing money into better sports facilities. One would expect Kuwait to have amazin things given the amount of money they have.
