The new "Ion Moina" stadium will have a capacity of 35.000 seats and will be built by the municipality. It will include a Hotel and maybe a Arena right next to the stadium that might host the Womens Baschet World Cup in 2013.
Also a urbanistic project to help the zone will be put into application as soon as the stadium will be finished.

I like so much the tower and the facade and roof. Looks wonderful! If Romania will be bid to Euro 2020, looks perfect to be host of the event.

I also like the tower, it's funny there are people who actually hate it. I guess it's a matter of taste.

[alex_zebe]

The stadim is supposed to cost EUR 45 mil, including the office/hotel building beside it and a multifunctional hall/indoor arena.

ugly, too big distance between stands and field, not compact at all, tower is unnecessary

[alex_zebe]

The space between the stands and the field is necessary, as the stadium will not be a football-only arena and it will have a track. There was another design, without any track which didn't look as good as this one.
The tower in my opinion is not a bad thing, it's the same for me with or without it. However, the tower makes the stadium a bit more special, as the design of the arena is pretty common.

I wish that more clubs in Eastern Europe would build stadiums without tracks. It would make the matches easier to watch and more fans would show up, meaning more revenue to make the leagues better.

It's a shame so many are built with the running tracks.

[PaulFCB]

The stadium is built by the municipality not by the club. Of course, everybody hopes less stadiums will have tracks .
The problem is not that the clubs are building stadium with tracks, CFR Cluj ( the other team of Cluj ) built a stadium with no track.
As the municipality paid all the money for the stadium, I guess its in they're interest to have a athletics track so they can host other events. As for the club ( Universitatea Cluj ), it has big financial problems and they are playing in the 2nd Division right now. But at least they're fan base is much larger then CFR in the city.
Anyway, at least the stadium will have 2 tiers so the view on the upper tier will be lets say, acceptable.

[alex_zebe]

The construction is set to start in July and set to be completed in 2 years time. The exact capacity of the stadium is 30.596 seats, from which 29.648 at tiers and 948 in VIP boxes. The new stadium will have a 4* UEFA ranking.

The contract also includes a sports complex in nearby Jucu village (Cluj Metro), with a football training field, four tennis courts, four other-sports fields, a six storey, 120 rooms hotel, spa, fitness and treatment centres, and a lake.



As for the tracks, they're needed as this is a city arena, it's not a football only stadium. As Paul already said, there is another new stadium in the city -CFR Cluj's- with no tracks.

in one picture it looks like a golf putter, but nice looking stadium

[alex_zebe]

The first two proposals for the stadium in Cluj.

UTCN - Romania


OHL - Spain


The first design won the bid due to the lower prices, but then it was modified to accomodate the tracks, and that's how it got to the final project.

The area

Before the new stadium, with the Old Ion Moina.


After the building of the new stadium.

[Fallen]

I like the fact that in the scale model there are trees all around the stadium and that the area is green and nice. How much do you want to bet that there won't be any trees or vegetation planted there? Probably a lot of cement and some more parking spaces.
Or maybe my eyes don't work properly and those are not trees...

[NEWWORLD]

I like the project, it would be smart to put parking garages underground - might be more expensive, but definately well worth it to keep greenery around.

I don't think either that new trees are going to be planted, but neither will trees be cut down for this project.
A good thing is that "Aleea Stadionului" (the street in the vecinity of the old stadium) will be closed for cars after the new stadium is built. It will be part of the park, as it was some decades ago.

AKAIK, parking lots are going to be built underground. I'm gonna search some info about the parking spaces.

LE: There will be some 3000 parking places, from which 200 under the stadium. The others will be built near the multifunctional hall. It seems that no greenery will be touched.

There are 2 sets of designs of the stadium and tower with this proposal,which one was chosen?the one with more cuts on the facade or the one with less?

[alex_zebe]

The design with the rectangular tower and less cuts on the facade was chosen, in my opinion the best looking. I wasn't really fond of the triangular tower.


This one...


Instead of this one.

[mihai_alex]

I like it better too.

As for the tracks, they're needed as this is a city arena, it's not a football only stadium. As Paul already said, there is another new stadium in the city -CFR Cluj's- with no tracks.

The construction of the sports complex near Cluj costs about 36 mil. euro. The media here says that the new sports hall (7.000 places) that is going to be built next to the stadium costs 64 mil. euro. That's way more than the stadium.
