AMSTERDAM - Amsterdam ArenA (53,052)

[Axelferis]

One of the weakness of this arena is the sound because the ascendant shape of the roof doesn't enable the sound to be reflected like a hell

Please elaborate on the alleged acoustic flaws of the Amsterdam Arena. I've visited the Amsterdam Arena on numerous occasions and each time 'the roof came off' as our Anglo-Saxon friends so eloquently and idiomatically put it.

I think he is suggesting that it would be louder with a inward sloping roof as opposed to the upward curve of the built structure. This is probably true, although I doubt there is an issue with the crowd making enough noise to be intimidating and I find the the upper seating areas feel cut off from the crowd in set ups like the Old Trafford and similar designs.

Thank you for your effort and attempt. The roar of prawn sandwich brigades, echoed by slightly upwarded curved roofs.

I wouldn't have trusted the Lille boy to come up with anything coherent and substantial. That is why he has been ignoring this thread after having dropped his manure. Is it actually possible to have a normal, sophisticated, mature, un-nationalist conversation with him? I think not. Idiotic, narrow-minded, hypocritical, nationalist comments more like it.

Coming from you, claiming a member to be naïve, conjures up visions of a peasant accusing me of a lack of knowledge of quantum physics or open-heart surgery.

I have enabled the option to hide various elements of messages, which may be of use to users on slow internet connections. Subsequently, I’m not in a position to take notice of your signature. And I couldn’t care less for that matter.

Please rather elaborate on the oblique deficiencies and acoustic flaws of the Amsterdam Arena or be silent.

First European McStadium of its kind. O to the San Siro's, Bernabeu's and Wembley's of old.

Ok, I will put my two cents in the acustics debate at AA. I don´t about sport events but for large concerts the sound tends to bounce around. Design wise that is far from optimal.

[Axelferis]

you are 100% agree! velstins too has this problem

Braskem's green plastic to be used in the production of seats for the Amsterdam ArenA stadium
11/11/2011 10:03

Agreement with the Brazilian petrochemical company envisages the supply of raw material for 2,000 seats made of 100% renewable plastic for the Dutch stadium

Braskem, the leading thermoplastic resin producer in the Americas and the world's largest producer of biopolymers, established a partnership with Amsterdam ArenA to supply Green Plastic to be used in the production of seats for the multifunctional Dutch stadium. In addition to the 52,000 existing seats, two thousand new seats manufactured with Braskem's plastic made from ethanol will be installed in the coming months. By the end of the next two years, all 54,000 seats will be made of plastic from 100% renewable raw material, using Brazilian technology. The announcement will be made on Friday, the day the Netherlands celebrate its national Sustainability Day.

The installation of the "sugar seats" - as these seats are being called - is part of the strategy to turn the Amsterdam ArenA into a landmark of the world's most sustainable capital. The stadium was inaugurated in 1996, and its remodel will not adversely affect the events, like today´s friendly soccer match between the Netherlands and Switzerland. The entire remodeling project follows sustainability guidelines. In 2015, the stadium will be ecologically neutral, producing no carbon footprint.

Braskem produces Green Plastic since September 2010, when the Company inaugurated the world's largest plant of ethylene made from ethanol in city of Triunfo (Rio Grande do Sul state), with annual production capacity of 200 ktons of polyethylene. Unlike fossil plastic, Green Plastic presents a positive environmental result: each ton of plastic produced avoids the emission of 2.5 tons in carbon dioxide (CO2).

"The use of Green Plastic at the Amsterdam ArenA is fully in line with Braskem's strategy of becoming the world's leading company in sustainable chemicals", said Marcelo Nunes, Braskem's Renewable Chemicals Director. "Braskem's partnership with Station Amsterdam complements other alliances already consolidated in recent months, uniting companies that seek sustainable solutions", added the executive.

The project of the green ethylene plant, which was developed with Braskem's proprietary technology, received investments of R$500 million. The product is supplied to important clients in Brazil and abroad, such as Procter & Gamble, Nestlé, Toyota Tsusho, Natura, Tetra Pak, Danone and Chanel, among others.

Donating the current seats to other smaller football clubs (do they have non-league football in Holland?) could be a great way to reuse them. As for the new seats, I just hope that the eventual colour scheme is less vile than the current one.
