Type of Structure
Tent Structures
Most new stadiums are being build as “tent” structures which is translucent fabric stretched over a steel or aluminum frame. The sides can be rolled up if required for ventilation. No need for expensive air conditioning etc
Plexipave floor laid on concrete/asphalt surface. Same as tennis courts. No requirement for timber floor.
Lighting for night use
Lightweight structures, simple foundation, very cost effective
Movable structure
