what's the stadium that Benjamin posted?


It's the Zentralstadion in Leipzig. A particularly apt venue to mention on an Australian World Cup thread as it was built specifically for the world cup, with no realistic expectation of being used to capacity after the finals. It's current occupants are a couple of lower division sides who rarely get more than 2 or 3k to games.

Here's another shot of it...

So not only do you get to sit a mile from the action you also get some massive columns in the way. And in indoor mode if you are anywhere but the middle bay your orientation is toward the far corners of the performance area.

That is hands down the shittest multi-useless stadium proposal I have seen.

There is a video on the article. The rails for the shutters are retractable and fold up for football use.

For all of those Canberra sporting events with over 23k in attendance. May as well weld those garage doors shut and let people enjoy craning their necks for those indoor events.

Over engineered rubbish looking for a problem to solve.

I'd have a partially retractable pitch and a wall to close over that section so the seating can stay in place, or moved for flat floor events like expos. The sightlines for the top tier do seem out of whack to have a stage where the seating would be, unless it's raked even higher.

Automated removable seating is actually pretty achievable with the right engeneering, even plush interior designs.

The idea definitely has merit, but I think it needs a bit more work.

How often do Telstra dome use their retractable? Fuck all. It's as if it is like pulling teeth to use the function.

We're going to get inevitably screwed again.

 Building a new stadium for their most popular sports is too hard because they don't have an A-League team but it's all fine to throw money at Manuka oval with no Big Bash team and 4 AFL games featuring a club hated in their own city as well as a indoor arena for a fkn womans basketball team.

They should be doing exactly what Christchurch is currently planning. Build a permanently roofed 20-25k Stadium with a retractable pitch so events can be held frequently without impacting the main tennants.

I'm sure that will happen....eventually.

Right now the ACT Govt is stretched with a billion dollar investment in a tram line and fixing up the Mr Fluffy debacle.  The new stadium is effectively third in line (and that's assuming nothing else pokes its head up in the meantime).
