The updated Barcelona stadium has a similar idea but even more dramatic - the whole pitch is lowered underground into a chamber with sun lights, irrigation etc. so that the stadium can be used for concerts, etc. Quite impressive, to say the least.
- everfrustrated 2y agoPossibly you're thinking of the Real Madrid stadium in Madrid? They can grow the grass underground. Quite insane. https://youtube.com/watch?v=xZZs6BxLYHM https://youtube.com/watch?v=xZZs6BxLYHM
- Ekaros 2y agoI am amazed by engineering, but at same time question the resource use and decadence of it...
- kolektiv 2y agoOh, you're right actually - mea culpa. I was distracted by the Camp Nou renovation, you're spot on. Although I'm sure Barca will have something equally wondrous.
- alistairSH 2y agoI have very mixed feelings about that stadium, (and the Raider's stadium linked above). They're marvels of engineering. But, what a cost to get some pretty grass. Especially the Madrid implementation - not just the engineering of the lifters/underground facility, but the ongoing electrical expense running all those lights and irrigation systems? Maybe it's really just a drop in the bucket of building a massive stadium, or running a professional sports team, but I can't help buy think we (humans) have our priorities all mixed up.
