This 20,000 seat stadium is designed to serve as a sports facility as well as for worship and performance events. The building's importance is accentuated by its striking visual presence - featuring a gracefully curved roofline (which is both functional and aesthetic), an impressive glass and steel entrance, and an ascending tree-lined approach that ends in a spacious plaza dominated by a sparkling fountain and tower. Once inside, visitors are offered access to the various levels of the amphitheater via generous concourses. The open plan allows for clear visibility and easy movement.
