Posušje Arena – design description

The concept involves a thorough reconstruction of the existing stadium and increasing capacity to 8,000. The body of the new ground will be divided into two bowls. The lower one is supposed to be larger than the upper one, which will be turned upside down in relation to the lower bowl. The whole structure, thanks to grayish metallic facade, resembles a flying saucer.

Sunlight will enter the stadium through translucent triangles below the roof line and along the facades (translucencies in the shape of a crescent moon). However, most of the light is to come from the eastern side, where there will be no stands and the inside of the stadium is to be visible from the outside. Rectangular columns are planned there, supporting the structure of the arena, along which a promenade will be built.

The investment has been divided into four stages. In the first of them, new lighting masts are to be built and the south stand will be reconstructed, housing hospitality and VIP zones. In addition, media stands, new dressing rooms and facilities necessary for tv broadcasting are sketched out. Upon completion of the first phase, the capacity will be 4,000.

In the second stage, works are to concentrate on the northern stand, thanks to which the auditorium is to rise to 5,800. The focus of the third phase of modernization will go to the infrastructure of the club academy and the creation of a promenade on the eastern side of the ground, which will separate new training field from the main pitch.

In the fourth (last) stage, the construction of the west stand is planned, which is to bring the facility's capacity to the target number, i.e. 8,000 seats. In the last phase, the number of parking spots will also be increased.
