Thanks! We´ll see, what they´re saying on the press conference, but it seems like they really won´t make any significant improvements from an average supporter´s point of view (except new toilets and paint on the wall, of course)!
they actually change quite a lot. there will be a gym in the east part of the stadium for example. but me and most fans would like the stadium just like it is right now - just bigger. http://www.werder.de/aktuelles/news/meldung.php?id=12969 check out weserstadion.de for a video presentation
I guess this cannot be avoided. But it looks better than i thought. Thinking about the future, it's probably a good idea. Like the slogan hehe. So by the end of 2008 we should have Fixed Gold, Platin VIP areas, photovoltaic plant, and the exterior facade. The curves will be made straight in the summer of 2009.
although there seems to be little change, we are on schedule http://www.kreiszeitung.de/werdersp...Weserstadion_quotWir_liegen_voll_im_Plan.html (article in german)

Here are some pictures of the new model: http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/big/sxa-3s.jpg http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/big/sxa-3t.jpg http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/big/sxa-3v.jpg http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/big/sxa-3y.jpg http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/sxa-3x-jpg.html It looks good.. When are the renovations suppose to finish?
I wish it had been like that back in the early 80's when I was there. Loved watching Rudi Voeller. What a great stadium. Ours is just finishing, wish we could draw like Werder does. http://www.rslstadium.com/index2.html
what is this roof supposed to protect you from? Rain? in Utah? It doesn't seem to keep the sun off the stands very well. but it looks cool.
Actually, they told us up front that it does shit in the rain and if the sun is right will do a little in the shade. It is for aesthetics only! Go figure. Wish I had the means to fly to Bremen every now and again and visit my new, old stomping grounds.
Currently there are works at the roof. Here is an article at werder.de with some pictures: link: werder.de-stadium_renovations

Over the winter break the construction workers can work a lot without interruptions like football matches and so on: link to the story with photo
