Sinop Şehir Stadyumu – design description

When will a new stadium be built in Sinop?

Initially, plans were made in Sinop to build a new stadium for around 4,000 people, but it was eventually decided on a capacity of 10,000 spectators. The new arena will be built on the site of the old municipal stadium, which was demolished in the summer of 2018.

However, construction of the new facility did not start until the end of December 2019, with the cost of the work just under 25 million Turkish lira. Completion of the works was expected in July 2021, but in May 2021, construction advancement was estimated at 65%. The final delivery date is not yet known.

What will the new stadium in Sinop be like?

The design of the new stadium was prepared by MVM Mimarlık Mühendislik studio. It involves the construction of new U-shaped stands that will surround the running track on the west, north and east sides. Only a high wall will remain on the southern curve.

The renovated running track will have a tartan surface. There will be four tracks around the perimeter and six on the main running straight. The pitch turf will be a hybrid and will be equipped with a heating system.

The new stands will be fully covered, with folding seats in white or purple, arranged in a mosaic pattern. The first rows will be raised above pitch level. The main stand with boxes will be located on the west side. Four floodlight masts will be erected at the corners of the stadium.
