As it stood in 1996

The shape it held in its prime.

An oval, fully roofed bowl topped by two massive white arched steel trusses spanning the playing field, supported at four prominent corner pylons; the exterior ring is a concrete colonnade of angled supports and concourses with elevated walkways and ramps connecting to a Transferium. The main entrance block is a rectangular cube with a grid of large circular openings; the retractable roof can open to reveal the grass pitch and the interior seating tiers rise steeply from the field.
