After being first unveiled to the public in July 2011, the new stadium by Herzog & de Meuron broke ground in Bordeaux on May 2015.
Located in the the Bordeaux lac district, the project brings together three key elements: the bowl containing the game and its spectators; the concourse as a transition between the playing field and the outside surroundings; and the overall appearance.
Seating up to 42,000 spectators, the bowl embraces the playing field, its geometry affording optimal visibility for all, and maximum flexibility of capacity and usage.
The new stadium will reflect the intrinsic qualities of the site, its form modelled to welcome crowd flows, offering a new public space of the highest functional quality.
