Samara Arena – design description
The GMP Architekten concept sees double-tiered stands covered with large, 60-meter high dome (initially planned to reach 80m). Covered with translucent panels the stadium should resemble a gemstone.
Audience should see skyboxes on both sides of the pitch, on two floors. Altogether this gives 1,200 luxurious seats, almost double the FIFA expectations.
