Visitor Guide

Visitor Tip

Do a full loop outside before you go in; stadium form is about procession, not just the bowl.

Best Photo Spot

From the outer concourse with the arena mass in frame, late afternoon on event days for atmosphere.

Access & Hours

Interior access mainly on event days or tours; ticketed accordingly.

Insider Note

Stadium renovations are parametric puzzles: sightlines, egress, capacity, and legacy structure constraints in constant negotiation.

Time Needed

60–150 minutes (event-dependent)

Design & Structure

TessellationShell Structure
Computational Process

Iterative redevelopment: geometry driven by seating bowl optimization, circulation, and code compliance over decades.

Materiality

Concrete structure with steel roof components—durability and spanning logic.

Structural Innovation

Long-span roof and crowd-load dynamics; vibration and egress robustness are key engineering concerns.
