Architectural Innovation
Having already eliminated its athletics track in 2016 to bring supporters closer to the turf, the venue is undergoing a major expansion for 2030. The south and east stands are being topped with an upper tier, lifting capacity to 44,400 seats, all shielded under an eye-catching full-circumference tensile canopy inspired by volcanic basalt stone.
