Ill go ahead and stat with news from the Waldstadium!

The roof on the Eastern-stand is almost done.

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/.



Atmosphere wasn't too good though!

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...
