It's the previous design, but is going to be very similar to that one. I think.

Do you know when the construction is going to start?
Do they have to demolish the current San Mames first? If yes, where will Athletic play then?

[AdemA]

The construction stars next year, when the old exhibition centre disapear.

A part of the old San Mames is going to be demolished, but Athletic will play always there.

Hi everyone

It would be a great stadium for an outstanding team in spain.
I am a MANCHESTER UNITED supporter but among spanish teams i support Athletic Club de Bilbao ,they are special and different.
Especially because of not using many foreigner i think there is no foreigners this season but last season there was a mexiacan player i don´t remember exactly his name i think something like Iturragia and this season he transfered to Salamanca i think.
By the way,i´ve heard that Amorebieta is from venezuela but has parents from Basque.
By the way, I am new here and i was reading some days ago first page of new san mames one of users said:

Plus some clubs have quite impressive attendances even in lower divisons. Atlético had an average of more than 40'000 in their first season in Segunda Division, about as much as they have now. There are much more examples in Germany, Italy and England. And I guess the Athletic fans are very loyal.

@kinggeorge

I found two things incorrect according to my best knowledge:

First one,
I don´t think that it is correct to call Athletic Club de Bilbao as athletico (athletico is good for Athletico madrid).

Second,
first season in the segunda?
Athletic club de Bilbao ,barcelona and real madrid have never played in any division except top division according to my knowledge.

Please correct my mistakes

Thanks for reading this

Bye.

Iturriaga was born in Mexico but he moved with his family to the Basque Country at the age of 12, he started playing football in his school and he was called to make a trial with Athletic junior team, and since them he was promoting until the first team.

Amorebieta is another case, he was born by an accident in Venezuela, because his father was working there as a pelota player and his family moved temporarily to Venezuela, when Amorebieta's dad finished his contract they came back being Amorebieta just a baby. He has spent all his life in Iurreta, a town around 30 kms from Bilbao.

I think that that post was talking about Atlético de Madrid, that team was relegated a few years ago and it's true that they had an impressive average attendance when they where playing in liga 2nd, I believe that it was an example about the large number of supporters that many teams have in England, Spain, Germany or Italy.

And it's true that we are very loyal, we needed and stadium about 65.000 seats, but we prefered to build an smaller one in order to keep it in the downtown, Bilbao's council only could offer us a terrain about 42.700 m2 in the downtown instead of the 55.000 m2 that the club wanted, it was that or Athletic shall move to the outside.

This looks very similar to the Alllianz Arena

Great stadium, but isn´t it a little too big for athletic?

[Carrerra]

When does the construction start and what stadium does Bilbao use during the construction?
