Great stadium!!!!! BTW will this project go ahead whether or not it hosts World cup matches? I worry that Gremio might cancel the project if that gorgeous stadium fails to be a hoting venue for WC 2014.

In this render it seems that the 1st tier on the left doesn't have a symmetry on the opposite - I mean it seems more curved and less steep than the opposite stand. Don't you feel the same?

Gremio is planning this stadium since 2006 and it will be built with or without World Cup in brasil

unlike other projects that came up only after FIFA confirmed the 2014 WC in brasil...

the good thing of the WC for gremio is if they select the arena to be porto alegre's venue, i think this project might have some improvements

the entire stadium seems too "round" for me... the distance from the seats to the field also seems bigger

I love the environment of the stadium.. How tall will be the tower?

there was 2 proposals to build gremio new stadium:

TBZ


Cost: R$ 270 milhões
Annual Rent with the Arena: R$ 56 milhões
Profits Split: Grêmio 65% and TBZ 35%


Odebrecht


Cost: R$ 294 milhões
Annual Rent with the Arena: R$ 59 milhões
Profits Split: Grêmio 50% and Odebrecht 50%



TBZ proposal won but this is not the final desing yet, some changes still may occur on it.. but it won't be too much different from that

i don't know yet, but it won't be very tall because there are height restrictions in Porto Alegre

[Carrerra]

Does the estimated cost R$ 270M(=around US$ 160M) include other facilities such as shopping mall or convention center? If so don't you think it's too cheap? IMO the 50K stadium alone would cost more than that amount if it was built in Korea. Anyway the project is unbelievably cheap considering that labor cost in Brazil is relatively low...

BTW who owns the land for the project? Gremio or TBZ? or is it provided for free by the government?

[ronin(POA)]

R$ 270 million is just the arena

i think that TBZ will buy the land for gremio..

Thanks for the picture, Sangnaris. It doesn't look far away from metro station - less than 10 minutes from nearest station by walk, judging from the satellite picture. Besides that, it has another metro stations and good road system around it. I can tell you that Gremio Complex has fantasic transportation accessibilities.
