Just seen this Stadium.... Yes please.....

[foggy]

Got back from Shanghai this morning and while I was there saw this amazing stadium, its called the shanghai mercedes benz arena.
If ever we wanted a state of the art stadium that people would want to visit this is it.
I went past it every day I was there and just wanted to go in.

Picture makes it look bigger than it is, but looks about the right size from outside, its not one of the standard bowls like Arsenal and it would put us on the world football map as one of the stadiums people would most like to go to.

Some of the pictures do not do it justice, but I do think you will either love it or hate it. The Chinese I spoke to that had been inside said it creates a fantastic atmosphere to watch sport in (basketball I think he said).
But when you get close up its an imposing building, and the entrance looked stunning.
I think you would either love it or hate it, still beats most of the stadiums I have ever seen.

Have none of you seen the detailed design in LegEnd Liam's thread. No point speculating anymore when we have the blueprints.

Seems a bit of a mistake to put the pool that high up though.
