I know there is a separate thread for Udinese stuff but I think this is worthy of being posted here. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1149433&page=849 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ipR...ature=youtu.be Sherlock, you must be very excited.
Sherlock doesn't actually go, does he? Decent looking stadium. Not a fan of the multi-coloured seats though.
I admit I'm usually too lazy to do the 80+km from Trieste to Udine for a match and prefer to watch on TV. But this new stadium is certainly a beauty and for sure I'll have to go and watch at least a match live there. Also, Udinese kept season tickets quite affordable I see (http://udinese.it/portal/repository/images/camp_abbonamenti/prezzi.jpg). They clearly want to fill the stadium which, I read, is very very good with acoustics now.
I believe multi-coloured seat installation is used to lessen the visual impact of empty seats, particularly on television.
I love the coloured seats. New stadiums are all just variations on a theme nowadays. Whenever somebody does something distinctive, even if it isn't conventionally attractive, I find myself liking it.
