Nanchang Sports Center Stadium – stadium description

The design for Nanchang’s largest new sports complex was commissioned back in 2007. On the surface of 62 hectares, in a newly-created district along the Gan River, a new multi-sport stadium, indoor hall, swimming arena and tennis arena were built.

Initially planned to host the 7^th edition of Intercity Games, the stadium received significant use also after the tournament.

Opened in 2011, the venue has dynamic architecture with external wrap imitating a vortex pattern. The colours are rather cold and sober with only one vivd accent – the additional inner ring of the roof made with red steel and carrying the floodlights. Stands accommodate some 58,000 people on three tiers.
