They say it will get a lot lighter once it has been on there a couple weeks... Im glad cos I dont like that brown too much...
The rest of teh roof is supposed to be all done before christmas break...

Very nice, I don't think the brown is too bad.
Is this kind of roof known to be good for acoustics?

Here's a panorama from the new Niedersachsenstadion, taken from http://www.rote-erleuchtung.de/.

I am not a big fan of the bubble wrap feel of the Allianz -Arena

kind of reminds me of my local stadium Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome

Time for an update from the waldstadium, Frankfurt!
As you can see its movin on quickly and to be fully completed by April, I think.
Here's a nice shot, probably made while landing on FRA International Airport.
Quite a pretty view that those airtravellers get there....

And one from the inside. The outer roof is now done all around. That black walkway that you can see,
like 5 meters in front of the roof is where all the Sound and Lights are on.
It seems like it has been completed this last week, cos it wasnt all the way around yet last friday night for the game...
On the very right you can see that clear plastic-plates are put in between the walkway and the roof,
to make sure that also the seats all the way upfront dont get wet...

question

For the WC will they have to remove the stands and place in seats or are they employing stadiums as all-seaters? (I know only a few that are all seaters in Germany I believe.)

How the hell does the Allianz arena glow like that? Does it spell out TOR! when someone scores?

Stadiums that will be used, fill in my info if wrong....

Schalke - Arena auf Schalke (completed)
Hamburg - Stadion Hamburg (completed)
Hannover - Niedersachsenstadion [AWD Arena] (completly rennovated - is this open yet?)
Berlin - Olympiastadion (slight renovation - will end this season?)
Dortmund - Westfalenstadion (completed)
Leipzig - Zentralstadion (completed)
Cologne - Stadion Koln [Rhien energy] (completed)
Frankfurt - Waldstadion (rennovation underway)
Kaiserslautern - Fritz Walter stadion (rennovation underway)
Nurenburg - Frankenstadion - (rennovation set for completion in the summer.)
Stuttgart - Gottlieb Daimler - (slight renovation underway)
Munich - Allianz Arena (completion in the summer)

Also not on WC list, but a new stadium nonetheless is the Borussia Park home of Monchengladbach.

[Alex_K]

I think Berlin and Hannover are already completed (or at least very close to) too.

[96Squig]

Hanover is closed to being complete, it was open all the time while rennovation, but the roof leacks for example so they'll have to fix that... will be completely done this winter or next summer, no idea ;-)

[nach0king]

Is Zentralstadion used by a club?

[96Squig]

Is Zentralstadion used by a club?
Yes, Lok Leibzig, abot 10 000 fans/game/11th(lowest)german league due to financial bancrupt6.
And VFB leibzig, 5 000 Fans or so a Game, 4th League I think...
And one of them was the first German champion...

Lowest level? I assume they win every game? Coz I remember them being quite a big club once...

Edit: Never mind... I just checked:

http://www.lok-leipzig.com/index2.html

Played 10, won 10, scored 104, conceded 5.
