Plans for the new MAINZ Stadium presented.
Total capacity 33.500, around 13.000 standing places, 11.600 of them on one single stand ("Mainz' red wall")
Completion planned for Winter 2010/11
First, I was quite disappionted to see that this two tiers project, developed by asp architekten, was not chosen:
Animation of this project can be found
here
But after watching the
images of the finally chosen project
for a while, I really must say it looks quite okay, even has some
charcteristics of old-school english grounds (what was the architect
intention) and is more individual than most of the other
30.000-Stadiums Germany got in the last years (not because of the
colours, but because of some really extraordinary details).
