Stade Océane – stadium description
Blue seats inside, blue polycarbonate foil covering its façades, blue light inside as sun comes inside through the translucent cladding and outside – when lit from inside at night. This was the idea of renowned architecture practices SCAU (France) and KSS (England) who are behind France's latest football venue.
The stadium was thought to cost some €90m initially, but despite lack of delays in construction phase budget stands at €101 as the process is over.
