Istanbul is that big, I think not even the Istanbulians know everything that is being or going to be built....

Actually its a lil bit complicated
Currently we have got the Abdi Ipekci Arena (10,550), 1986


Than we have got the never ending story Sinan Erdem Dome.
Capacity is 22,500, but maybe they won't add the mobile first tier, so the capacity would be 17,000. Still unclear. Turkish Basketball Federation do not like it (stands are too far away etc.)
Therefore they started to plan a new Arena (16,000) at Macka Park (north of BJK Stadium).
But they do not get the permission of the memorial committee. So it looks like its dead.
Than we have got the FB Arena at the asian side. Capacity was proposed to be 12k, but they changed it to 15k (could be the possible final venue of the 2010 FIBA WC)

Galatasaray will start to built his own arena after the new stadium is finished. Planned start is summer 2010. New Arena will have a capacity of 15,500 and will be located next to the stadium.


The Voleyball Federation builts his own arena for the 2009 Voleyball WC.
The New Burhan Felek Sports Hall will have a capacity of 7,500.
So, by ~2012 Istanbul could have those Arenas
1. Sinan Erdem Dome 17,000 / 22,500
2. GS Arena 15,500
3. FB Arena 15,000
4. Abdi Ipekci Arena 10,550
5. Burhan Felek 7,500


BTW the proposed new Ankara Arena for the FIBA 2010 WC
Capacity is 10k and it will have 3 tiers
1st tier 6,500
2nd tier 3,500
Next to 19 Mayis Stadium and new High-Speed Train Central Station

Sercan pls tell me when you are moving posts to another thread, I had no idea.
Thanks for the info though, thats pretty impressive although Im not sure as to why they need so many facilities.

[www.sercan.de]

ok GNU.


Actually Istanbul needs a Big Arena at the asian side, therefore FB Arena
Voleyball Federation wants his own Arena, therefore Burhan Felek 7,500

GS wants his own Arena..therefore new Arena

Abdi Ipekci is old, but looks like it will stay

Sinan Erdem Dome is useless. I would prefer to turn it into a aquatic centre. Current Aquatic centre of Istanbul is next to the Dome but its opened like the Athens one.

BTW,
Only FB and GS Arena will "modern" Arenas or multipurpose Arenas.
Burhan Felek, Sinan Erdem and Abdi Ipekci are just sports halls.

Fenerbahce Arena will be also swmming pool. But thecnical details could be changed

[Kuvvaci]

@GNU, this is Fenerbahçe's project. Now plot is bought and project is confired. I think now technical details are under development and construction will start at the first half od September.

[Kuvvaci]

renovation of Trabzon's stadium. There is so much work to do.

[Kuvvaci]

Şanlıurfa new stadium (30.000) is about complated - with athletic track

the new stadiums will be at the old one.
So the 19 Mayis stadium (you can see it next to the new arena) will be demolished.
But first the arena. Maybe after 2010 we will see more news or even a project
The whole area will turned into a new and moden sports complex

sercan, I am so sorry but article doesn't say anything like this. It says all sport complexes of Ankara will be modern and some of them will be modernized at their place, some of them will be constructed again in another place.

And as article says, after this basketball use arena. A new indoor sport hall for volleyball will be built next to it. And also the pitch of 19 May stadium is under renovation and grass will be syntetic (because of the winter cold, it makes problem every year).

But also as I heard before, a new football stadium will be built for Ankara. But it will be placed somewhere else and take the role of old Cebeci Stadium. constructor will be built for Cebeci Stadium's plot.

look at the righ upper part
he says that the stadium has to be demolished and has to be replaced by a new one with offices under it.

[Kuvvaci]

okay, I think it's the major's own project. Because President of TFF, Hasan Doğan had the project I mentioned.

[www.sercan.de]

As i know the one at Etimesgut was the major project

[Kuvvaci]

was it not canceled? I don't know wich project will be realized. But it is so obvious that Ankara needs two modern stadia (one for football, one with athletic track)

Will Trabzonspor's stadium have football-only configuration with no athletics tracks? And what will the new capacity be when the renovation is completed? Wikipedia says its current capacity is 19,646
