Nieuw Stadion Rotterdam – design description
The renderings show overall idea behind the new Feyenoord stadium. It should hold 63,000 people on three tiers of similar capacity, with 6,300 business seats and 90 skyboxes included. Roof over the pitch is to be retractable.
The stadium will have 1,500 underground parking spots, while its vicinity is hoped to be kept green. In order to minimize the number of fans travelling by car, public transportation and access routes will be much improved. This should switch the percentage of car users from 70% currently to just 30%.
Consultation over design details are to be ran in 2013. First works are expected in 2016, whilte whole stadium should be opened in 2018.
