KHARKIV - Metalist Stadium (40,003) - Page 4

mihai_alex · November 15th, 2008, 01:17 PM

Compared to other stadiums with track the view it's quite good,and besides,the camera distorts the reality a bit.

lpioe · November 15th, 2008, 02:35 PM

Was the stadium always used during the construction works?

ewild · November 16th, 2008, 09:59 PM

Yes it was. Except for a short period last spring, but mostly not for the reconstruction - the pitch was completely ruined for winter service mistakes. And 2 host teams were to play their matches on another Kharkiv stadium or even in another cities.

Outside it's starting to look a bit like Donbas-Arena, but at the same time very distinctive and unique. Must be the best Euro reserve arena ever

Roof installation begins

Fresh updates

Funny, just recently any roof on the stadium was considered an amazing progress in Ukraine, now next to its second generation roof it looks pathetic

Is there a gap in the Metalist Stadium's stands? There shouldn't be a gap in the stadium's stands or its roof.

Is this just a coincidence? Whenever I see construction of stadiums in Poland, they are covered with snow. Snow is always there during winter?????

***www.sercan.de*** · February 9th, 2009, 12:34 PM

Kharkiv is in Ukraine

Carrerra · February 9th, 2009, 02:25 PM

@Carrera: Holy crap, have you never gotten basic knowledge concerning clime in Europe? I thought rather that's only a stereotype claiming people beyond Europe don't know almost anything about our continent.

Different rendering, looks slightly different, better than earlier ones.

The stadium looks great, but what i don't get is why is this a reserve stadium? It looks good compared to the other stadiums that are constructed or reconstructed in Ukraine for Euro 2012.

DaveyCakes · March 27th, 2009, 02:07 AM

I'd guess it's geographical....They have Donetsk (east), Kiev (central), Lviv (West) and Dnipropetrovsk (south-ish).

***VelesHomais*** · March 27th, 2009, 02:58 AM

It's actually no longer reserve, because Ukraine dropped the formula of 4 main and 2 reserve stadiums. Now every city has equal chances and which ever is better prepared, they will be selected.

PaulFCB · March 27th, 2009, 01:22 PM

And Kharkiv is Ukraine's 2nd biggest city after Kiev and the stadium has >40.000 seats and makes it the 3rd biggest while the 4th is also a reserve stadium in Odessa.
So Odessa ftw ffs pwn

it's actually close to Romania so talk to Yusckenko so he can host the final over there if Romania plays it.

***VelesHomais*** · March 27th, 2009, 05:12 PM

I will talk it over this weekend with him, when we go golfing.

It's a complete mystery to me which cities will be selected, but I'll be happy with any decision, my city will get it anyway

The thing is that these cities are all very different, Kharkiv sounds more logical than Lviv and Odessa, because it's larger, has well developed subway system, almost finished stadium, new airport terminal under construction etc. but Lviv and Odessa are much more tourist-friendly with big old centers and are very close to EU geographically, while Kharkiv is all the way on the other side, near Russia.

Dnipro may lose its position that will go to Kharkiv, then Lviv or Odessa will be in. But it wouldn't be fair to dnipro since they were the first one to finish Euro 2012 stadium, much earlier than everybody else.

So far I would say 100% participants are Kyiv and Donetsk.

Fresh update:

Old roof looks pathetic in comparison to the new one
