Timsah Arena – design description

The concept of Bursaspor’s new stadium was created in 2010, when the club reached for their historical first domestic championship. The stadium resembling a resting crocodile received global recognition for its original, yet controversial appearance. The outer shell consists of green glass and membrane partly overlapping the glass.

Internal appearance is also unique. There are two massive single-tiered stands behind goals, the east side has two levels, while main grandstand in the west has three tiers. Atop all of it are over 70 skyboxes.

Construction began in 2011 and was due to end in 2013-2014, but eventually proceeded into 2015.
