This is the arena where the final of Euro-2012 will take place. The stadium itself is very old, it was opened on August 12, 1923 and was reconstructed several times in its long history (by football standards).

While Donetsk, Lviv and Dnipro fresh stadiums will bring a modern atmosphere to the championship, this stadium will exert a historic touch. Although it will only be historic to a certain extend, as it will undergo a massive reconstruction, practically replacing 80% of the arena.

Current capacity 83,450
Dimensions 104m by 72m

I'll start off with some history

1936 project with capacity of 50,000. The stadium was completed, however, on the very day of the opening ceremony in 1941, it was bombed by the nazi Luftwaffe.


Second tier were added in 1967, raising the capacity to 100,000




It was again reconstructed to accomodate for the 1980 Summer Olympics, the football games of which took place here, and is the reason why it's called the Olympic Stadium now.




Symbol of the Olympics


Even had a trampaline


The stadium received a convenient subway station named in its honour




The stadium in 2012​
This section was updated on the 15th of November, 2008 when the final selection of the new renovation projected was selected.

How is it boring? Please explain your reason in more detail other than 'its just boring'

The exterior of the stadium is futuristic, i have never seen a stadium with a futuristic design like this one.
 
#536 ·
look at the renders..roof and exterior can be assumed to be one structure. Ok assume its not, point is...this is a boring stadium. Once inside it looks like a college football stadium from a not so rich university. Two huge (boring) tiers, thats it. Unless they do something fancy with the seat pattern and colours...

It's going to be remarkable on the outside, while internally it's still a reconstruction of an 80~ year old stadium, there's not much you can do to make it very exciting, but the roof is going to be spectacular.

The Taiwanese project was more exciting, but the company presenting it was unreliable, that's why it was canceled. A reconstruction on this scale is a long and difficult process, it was vital to get it going as soon as possible, so a more conservative design was chosen.

New Photos of the stadium! And also the construction workers have started to work on something new today :D Sorry but there were no images of the inside of the inside of the stadium.











 
#553 ·
New photos :D and finally the construction of this stadium is worth to take a look at!
























 
#556 ·
Exactly, if you look at last weeks photos that i uploaded, you can see that they started to make the 2nd tier stronger, so that it will be able to hold the roof.
