Never built Stadiums

[vertigosufferer]

Looks bizarre! - Is it like 2 stadiums in one?

[cellete]

Just one with a sort of entrance from the beach promenade. I liked the project, but there are not chances to build it, because a new sport equipament is being buit behind the actual Stadium.

To lazy to translate... Verstehst es ja eh

Ausstattung der neuen Arena

Die neue Münchner Arena soll 66.000 überdachte Sitzplätze haben, 100 Logen, 3000 so genannte Business-Seats und einen Gastronomiebereich mit Klub- und Konferenzsälen. Außerdem gehören zu dem Bauwerk 1500 Auto- und 350 Bus-Stellplätze.
...
Auf rund 400 Millionen Mark kalkuliert man den Bau.

P.S.: The plan for the reconstruction of the Olympia-Stadium

Someone called it: 'Culture-Hooligans'
Around the time of these plannings, Franz Beckenbauer said something like this: Why can't we find some terrorists, who blow up this fucking building... that was before 9/11

"You seem devastated that they failed "


Typical comment from an uneducated clown. At no point did I even imply I supported Nazi policies (and even if I did, I thought freedom of thought and speech were still basic human rights?). I was just stating facts and opinions regarding WW2 and a stadium that was never built.

By studying History for 4 years at Glasgow University, and reaching certain conclusions (conclusions that many respected historians share), that makes me a weirdo?

Aye, very good mate. Stick to Trisha.

I must admit, upon initial reading, the tone of your post did seem a little off to me. Stating that, "Only good fortune and bad military decisions from Hitler saved the Allies" comes across as a tad naive, not to mention disrespectful to those who gave their lives to stop the spread of the third reich. A 4-year-degree qualified historian you may be, but tactful writing clearly isn't your strong point.

Besides, not only were the Nazis ridiculously overstretched and becoming tactically inept at that point of the war, but the fact that the US had already clearly stated both where its allegiances lie and its concerns over the growing strength of Nazi Germany negates the idea of the "largest empie ever seen" for me. Just my two pence worth though.

One thing I will agree with, however, is the (albeit flawed) genius of Albert Speer - an amazing man who made some poor decisions for the sake of his work, but certainly was an undoubted visionary.

Anyway, back to the stadiums...

A total seating capacity of ca. 60,000 is the minimum to host the WC2006-Semifinal.
Why 66,000 ? Look at this link. You can see how 66,000 reduces to 60,000.

[www.sercan.de]

so the capacity for the WC will be only 59,416 ???

I'd be interested in seeing the 150,000 seat Hillingdon plan aswell.

I think that FIFA (and UEFA for that matter) don't count seating for press and VIP boxes as being normal capacity so 59K seems about right for the commoners. When Wembley hosts a Champions League Final the capacity may well be only counted as 70-75K

I wasn't trying to be tactful as this isn't a WW2 forum. I was being very very brief and summarizing to a massive extent. Maybe I shouldn't of said anything, because as soon as you open your mouth these days, some pansy somewhere starts greetin about being offended (the nancyboy who basically called me a nazi).

Back to the stadiums is a good idea.

The site where Bruce Ratner want to have the Nets was originally thought by the Dodgers before they would move to LA in the 1950's after the city didn't agree with them.

No need to start namecalling. If you're going to submit a post about the Nazi's in such an admiring manner you have got to expect people to criticize you. It's a free country after all.
