LISBON - Estádio José Alvalade (50,049)

Those 4 pillars supporting the roof are now green and not yellow anymore.

What's happening with the old stadium?

[Nikom]

the old one was demolished just after the end of construction of the new stadium

Now, I know the multi-colour seats is an optical illusion to make a place seem busier, but if this place had a uniform set of green seats the whole way around, it would make it look so much better.

There are some projects to change the seats and close the moat:

Most of them no. There were some talks to change the seats to all-green and close the moat but I think it won´t happen soon.

I just know these stadiums by TV and pictures, but let me give my opinion.

Despite the multicolor seats, I like more Alvalade than the Da Luz stadium. Da Luz is bigger, perhaps more impressive, but Alvalade is more compact, friendly to the supporter. It's a very particular and subjective thing.

I just don't approve the big distance between the crowd and the field, excpt that is an amazing stadium

Even a Sporting fan has to admit that the stadium is far from being supporter friendly, because Tomás isn't a stadium designer and he never will be.

That useless (and dangerous) moat,

The distance from the field,

The fact that it has four entrances only (what was he thinking?),

Screens in the middle of the stands.


And, despite not being related to supporters themselves, its structure leads to a pathetic pitch quality, which ruins the quality of the game for... the fans.

thanks. that's the wanted type of answer.

As I said, it was a very particular and subjective feeling. I just know the stadium by TV and google images. It's more "visual" than anything.

So, because of the moat, the stadium isn't friendly to the supporter ?
Everydoby hates that stupid thing, but that doens't ruin the stadium Even the screens are ok, they were small, and they changed it, now they're fine

And there are not four entrances, at least seven, countig with VIP acess, away supporters and disable And the main entraces, they're four, they're large enough, even in the big games, i don't wait in line, so, what's wrong ? There is no problem with the entries, since they are large enough to drain all fans.

As you can see here, they're large,

About the picth.. Arquitect's stupidity The stadium it's not perfect, thanks Taveira, but it's a great place to watch football with quality for sure

[Tiago_20]

The worst of this stadium are, for sure, the multi-colored seats.
when you are inside the stadium and see it empty is very ugly...
The architect should have used two, three colors, the colors of the club and not all the rainbow.

unfortunately we have more cases like that all the same architect.

very nice stadium.
