ISTANBUL - Türk Telekom Arena (52,652)

[www.sercan.de]

According to current GS president (won't bid for the 2008 elections) GS plans to built a +15,000 Arena next to the stadium.
But it will be built after the conctruction of the stadium (2010)

Therefore the called the area already Ali Sami Yen Sports Complex (full name is: Aslantepe Ali Sami Yen Sports Complex AASYSC )

[Axelferis]

why not to make it under the grass?

[www.sercan.de]

Too late and its still not clear
Could be a 15,000 arena with a hotel section etc. or just a 15,000 arena

According to som news (source: GS president) Gazprom offered 100 mil. usd for the stadium name rights

[Axelferis]

Gazprom gazprom gazprom!!! but they are everywhere

They are schalke sponsor, they are bulding the new stadium+training center zenith st petersbourg!!!!!!!

I know theu have money but is a reason to be everywhere like this??

[www.sercan.de]

I would prefer Shell r at least GaSprom

Rumours say:
"Gazprom Stadium": 10 mil USD / year
"Gazprom Dome*": they will finance the new sports hall next to the stadium.

*: I called it Dome, because the new Zenit Stadium will be called Gazprom Arena

According to a guy who is involved in this project, the stadium ill cost 190 mil € + 40 mil, € for the infrastructure (roads

[Genç]

€190m...how so cheap?

[www.sercan.de]

190 mil € is IMO too much for a stadium in Turkey

[Carrerra]

I can't wait to see that masterpiece until 2010

[www.sercan.de]

An architect who is involved in this project is a member at wowturkey.com and he gave some information.
.Number of suites decreased from 149 to 143

There are 5 different suites (for 7 persons, 8 persons, 10 per, 11 p and 13 persons)

But the total stadium capacity increased to 52,650

lower part of the 1st tier=17.038
upper part of the 1st tier: 8.411
Disabled persons and a hellpin person =176 (2x88)
media =454
middle part=8.411
club seats level at 3=1.892
level 3 suites=798
club seats level 4=622
level 4 suites=1.012
2nd tier=22.247
_________________________
TOTAL =52.650

Like i said before, they add 2 more floors under the stadium (parking)
But there will be more changes

We need minimum 61'905 to 71'905 seats ... in a few years this stadium will be too small for a big club like Galatasaray.

And I heard that it isn't possible to expand this stadium... so we should do it befor it's finished

Imagine that!

But certainly, 60+ would have been better and more 'future-proof' for GS and its ambitions. Especially since this stadium looks tricky to expand by a large amount...

... 701'905 seats... we would play full house no quastion

[g$X.n1]

BTW


TRABZON has 2 projects actualy.. but there is no useful picture about the second project... it is sth between schalke - ajax - porto stadium..

Konyaspor has also 2-3 projects and will chose the best one

[g$X.n1]

Is there anyone who knows if this stadium is expandable...?
to 70'000 or higher..?

It's similar to the emirates stadium and I heard that you can expand emirates to 80'000
so..

or can anyone see a reason why it shouldn't be possible to expand?...

[Axelferis]

emirates to 80000??? how??

[www.sercan.de]

some say its not
some say 70,000 is possible
+70 (80-100k) is also possible but would be extremley expensive

[Axelferis]

but how?? there's a space between higher stands and roof!! is it that?
