New Valencia FC stadium

greytop · 12th November 2006, 03:01 PM

Couple of views of the proposed new Valencia football stadium, with 75,000 capacity. The model was unveiled on Friday last.
It is to be covered in aluminium and have a closing roof and a pitch that can be hydraulically moved up and down to allow the venue to be used for concerts etc. Pictures from articles in Las Provincias. The pattern on top symbolises the barrios and river through them in Valencia.
All they have to do now is get it built

It's either quite artistic, or looks like a shattered toilet seat.

No wonder everyone is laughing in the picture!

Is this to be built on the site of the Mestalla - which is a pretty impressive stadium already and probably doesn't get 75,000 for most home games - or somewhere else?

Isn't there going to be a new sports complex that Valencia CF is building just outside of Valencia, the city?

No they are building it further out in a spot with better communications. Guess the Mestalla site is now too valuable as house building land! It's being referred to as Nou Mestalla. (Nou = Nuevo)

That looks, well, ugly

How are stadiums financed in España, in the US usually cities will take out a huge loan and then slap a huge tax usually on hotel rooms, entertainment, resturants and all of that. I was listening to NPR last week and they were talking about Seattle Resistance to financing a new stadium, since the people feel like they get screwed...
