Description: Abanca Balaídos
This scheme to redevelop aging Estadio Balaidos was developed by local architect Pedro de la Puente Crespo in 2014. It’s the first concept since Vigo’s failed bid to be a 2018 World Cup city with other Spanish and Portuguese hosts. Worth just a fraction of the FIFA bid’s vision, this one is more economic and focuses on efficient redevelopment of the old stadium.
Nicknamed the “New Wave”, it foresees the stadium becoming football-specific and giving all stands (or at least the roof) a uniform height and aesthetics. Lightweight steel cover will be clad with aluminum in a way to create numerous waves throughout the building’s facades and roof. This cost-effective aesthetic intervention should become the signature feature of New Balaidos, honouring maritime traditions of Vigo.
The phased project was divided into several phases, in order not to interrupt Celta’s use of the stadium. In early 2015 the north stand’s lower tier was demolished and replaced with new sections, much closer to the field. Following the 2015/16 season concrete roof over that same stand was removed and replaced by segments of new one, much higher than its predecessor. Aside from new seating and cover, the north side will also get a strip of private boxes and additional facilities under the lower tier.
Further works will include almost entirely reconstructed east and west ends, both moved much closer to the field. South side is expected to be the last one awaiting reconstruction. Initial budget of the project was estimated to be under €30 million, but with delays and cost increase it seems unlikely for the project to stay within the estimate.
