Without columns would be better but the current version is also fine

Roof must look temporary or something. Must the arena have any flaws?

What are you talking about? It is already approved by EBU and Ictimai official venue for ESC 2012 so as expected it will finish by the end of March

For now it will look with roof as you can see in the renderings.

If the roof is temporary, then expect post ESC that a more proper permanent roof without internal column supports to be built.

Also, it could be a sign that indeed major modifications will happen post ESC, to turn it into a proper multi-purpose venue.

Seems logical, since I don't see any "skyboxes" or "pressboxes" in any of the renders.

I doubt it'll end up a proper arena, since the football sized field is stated to remain. If that's the case, then Baku still needs to propose at least 1 major arena for it's 2020 Olympics bid.

Considering that they're bidding for the 2020 Olympics, any new sporting venue completed prior to the applicantion is a good boost for the bid.

It's not a waste of money in such a case since they'd probably have ended proposing a similar venue for the Olympics had they not won the ESC.

They are reconstructing their current largest stadium for the U-17 Women's Football World Cup. That was stated as the reserve venue if the crystal hall wouldn't be completed in time.

Their current largest arena can easily be used, but they would be forced to have a lower capacity of around 10,000.
