Still standing

As it stood in 2011

The shape it held in its prime.

An elliptical bowl with continuous two-tier green seating surrounding a rectangular grass pitch, capped by a sweeping translucent roof of glazed panels and exposed white metal trusses that curve over the stands but leave the playing surface open to sky. The far stand spells out 'AVIVA' in large white seat lettering. At ground level the bowl sits within an urban terrace of houses and streets, with additional rectangular training pitches attached to one side.
