A few weeks ago I presented the first renderings on which the teams of designers and architects worked. Since then, I have had two more meetings, one at the National Investment Company, and I have asked for some modifications to the structure, now we have received some, not the most recent. renderings, and I can say that we are satisfied”, said Simonis.
“The drilling of the site of the future track is finished, and the designers have the necessary data to successfully carry out this construction phase. From our point of view, things are clear: we will have the most modern and beautiful stadium in Romania. A stadium that Timișoara deserves, that Poli needs so much.”
The stadium will have a capacity of 32,000 seats and will be the second largest in Romania, after the National Arena. The cost is estimated at 603 million lei (115 million euros) and the execution period is about two and a half years.
