Still standing

As it stood in 2005

The shape it held in its prime.

A modern enclosed football bowl of continuous blue bucket seats wrapped by a deep cantilevered roof with exposed steel girders and a high clerestory band of glazing along the roofline. The pitch is a rectangular green turf bordered by a narrow red service strip and covered team dugouts at pitchside. Mid-level glazed corporate boxes punctuate the stand. Concrete undercrofts, stair towers and concourses run beneath the seating tiers, with wide entry portals at ground level.
