Stadium, arena, and venue façades

***xzmattzx*** · February 8th, 2010, 05:24 PM

Show us pictures of your sporting venue façade. Historic buildings tend to have the best facades, but a stadium or arena of any age is fine. What are the most famous facades in your state, province, region, or country? When were these facades built? Were they retrofitted in more recent times to accomodate new demands?

Spaladium Arena Split (Croatia):

Facade is made out of copper and iron. They are some sort of wire nets made out of copper and iron.

Handball Arena for London Olympics in 2012 will use copper facade as well. Are those 2 only major sports venues with such facades or are there some other venues like like?

Future London Handball Arena:

When I was in Barcelona in 2006 and walked round the Olympic Stadium, work was in progress to reclad the exterior:

Does anybody have any up-to-date photos?

Sorry but where is facade there?

You showed roof.

gradski · February 14th, 2010, 04:54 PM

Here's facade

CharlieP · February 14th, 2010, 09:34 PM

Poljud Stadium would appear to be missing a facade.

Nice roof, though.
