Exactly. Are they planning to steal the titanium?

nice to see someone being a bit daring for once thats what i like about stadiums in spain while the bernabeau and nou camp are rarely full at least you can get a ticket with little hassel.I mean an increase of 23,000 seats (from 52k-75k) will make a huge difference whereas u look at the new anfield an increase of only 15,000 for a club selling out regularly is meaningless tickets will still be like goldust and dont even get me started on the new lansdowne road

Now they have 42.000 associates, and more than 20.000 in waiting-list. The actual capacity is 53.000. And every week the stadium is plenty

Tranquilo. Si, es completamente distino. El concurso aquel que "ganó" la propuesta que comentas, se declaró desierto en realidad. Se le encargó finalmente el diseño a RFA y Arup Sports, que han participado entre otros en el olímpico de Pekin y el Allianz Arena. Espero haberme explicado bien, no lo hice en inglés porque no acababa de autoconvencerme de que quedara claro

But what would qualify it as the best stadium in the world? Exterior looks? proximity to the field? features? crowd noise? size? What makes it better than Lucas Oil Field, Reliant, Emirates or New Wembley?

I reckon it's more of a Herzog and De Meuron. It is easy to see similarities with Allianz Arena and China 2008 Olympic Stadium, both of which were designed by H+DM.

3 complete tiers = Allianz in football mode no matter how you look at it.

And no one answers. What makes this surpass other stadiums? It doesn't have the eye popping numbers of others. I like the track system, but other stadiums have their own unique technical aspects. I think its the prettiest exterior we've seen to date, but convince me otherwise.

How many stadiums can elevate the pitch with an hydraulic system as New Mestalla?

The best in the world is much to say...It can be betwen the best ones!
Where can we see a high quality video? it looks even better than the stadium itself.

[matherto]

I actually think the inside looks less like the Allianz Arena and more like a three tiered version of the AOL Arena in Hamburg
