construction The new headquarters of Atletico Ma- drid, occupies a total area of 88,150 square meters and has a capacity to accommodate more than 68,000 fans, distributed in general capaci- ty and VIP area. In addition, it has more than 1,000 parking spaces for fans inside the stadium and 3,000 outdoor parking spaces. The state-of- the-art design of the sports complex was provided by the architects Cruz y Ortiz. They emphasize the concrete finishes and the ample interior spa- ces that allow the mobility of the fans throughout the entire complex. The distribution of the new stands allows the fans and / or spectators to be close to the pitch. The new sta- dium has three new T-shaped stands, a low stand formed by 28 tiers in the bottoms and in the preferred areas, an average of 13 tiers for VIPs with direct access from the outside and last, a high stand supported on a peri- meter building of 32 steps, where are located the accesses of public, VIPs boxes and complementary services. FCC also built, in the lower area of the high stand, a space for 94 boxes. Worth mentioning is the stadium co- ver consisting of a steel structure of about 6,336 tons, tensioned with ra- dial cables and united with a mem- brane that occupies an area of 83.053 square meters. The membrane is composed of 720 panels of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) weighting 92 tons. The roof covers the stands and will help ensure that 96% of the seats are protected from rain. This is a unique element that sets it apart from other European sports facilities designed in recent years. The figures provided by FCC Group highlight that more than 2,881 wor- kers participated in the project. To make this project possible, 7 tower cranes have been used, which have allowed transport: more than 455.000 tonnes of concret and 4,200 square meters of glass. The new stadium is the first in the world to use entirely LED technolo- gy, thus transforming the skyline of the city of Madrid. More than 16 mi- llion colours will be projected in each game. Undoubtedly, it is a project that has become a reality in a modern, functional and first-class stadium in the European and world stadiums. The new CEO of FCC Group, Pablo Colio, points out that “from this very moment this work has become a ben- chmark for soccer stadiums world- wide, featuring the most advanced systems, thereby setting an example of the integration of sustainable solu- tions at the service of the citizens”.
