Rendering of the Yangzhou Stadium

The main structure of the stadium has been completed

       At present, the concrete pouring for the stadium has been completed, and the ring-shaped stands have revealed their sturdy framework. The graceful prototype of the "Yangzhou Bowl" is now presented before the reporter. Inside the venue, construction workers are installing water, electricity, heating, ventilation, and other facilities, and the entire installation project is proceeding in an orderly manner. What other highlights does the "Yangzhou Bowl" have? Please listen to the relevant person in charge for an interpretation.
       Super-large canopy without load-bearing columns
      Spectator views completely unobstructed
       The relevant person in charge introduced that the stadium has a total construction area of 47,000 square meters. Once completed, it will be divided into one underground floor, three above-ground floors, and four floors in some parts. The canopy on the west side of the stadium is the finishing touch of the "Yangzhou Bowl." Its construction is extremely difficult. Once completed, without support, its highest point can reach 49 meters, with a span of 280 meters.
       "At present, the steel structure design is being further developed and is expected to be completed next month. The main arch is expected to be closed around October, and the vast majority of the project will be completed within the year," the person in charge introduced. This canopy mainly serves to provide shelter from wind and rain and is also an important component of the entire stadium.
       According to the introduction, the construction of the canopy is extremely difficult. The two sides must be pulled and supported by "steel strings" buried underground, so the internal steel pipes must support the canopy without load-bearing below, and the difficulty is self-evident. If supports were added, the huge columns would inevitably increase the impact on sightlines.
Ecological stands with grass planted beneath the seats, bringing spectators close to the grass while watching competitions
       As a major highlight of the stadium, the ecological stands will provide spectators with a comfortable viewing environment at suitable temperatures.
       The seats in the stands will be divided into three types: green fixed seats, fixed seats with green lawn permeating through, and some grass-slope seats on the north and south sides, namely temporary seats.
       "We will plant grass beneath the seats so that the audience can be close to the fragrant grass. Even if 30,000 people gather in the stadium, the temperature inside will be effectively reduced, and it will give people a refreshing feeling with a strong visual impact," the person in charge said. All seats in the stands will be painted in green tones.

        Seen from above the stadium, part of the stands has already been painted grass green. Together with the grass beneath the seats and the center of the field, the stadium will blend into the tones of the surrounding hills. The person in charge introduced that this ecological stand design is a global first.
       In addition, the stadium will make full use of side skylights to provide spectators with natural lighting and ventilation. Layered roofs will be used to collect rainwater for irrigating greenery. Because the terrain is fully integrated and utilized, most of the stadium building is buried in the earth, and the soil becomes a natural thermal insulation material for the building.
       Supporting facilities are also thoughtful
       Restaurants, bars, and shops are all available
       The person in charge revealed that the stadium's supporting facilities are also thoughtful. In the future, citizens will not only be able to watch competitions at the "Yangzhou Bowl" but also enjoy corresponding services.
       Beneath the spectator stands of the stadium, there will be training grounds and a commercial center. In the future, the stadium's commercial center will include themed restaurants, bars, clubs, sports brand merchandise sales venues, and more. The person in charge further explained that the annual maintenance cost of the stadium is considerable, and such commercial methods can support part of the expenses, achieving the goal of sustaining the venue through the venue itself.
       The person in charge also introduced that the sports facilities and training grounds around the stadium will be open to the public free of charge, but the stadium itself will not be open to the public. As a stadium built to prefecture-level city standards, it will be able to host provincial-level comprehensive games and national individual championship events in the future.
         Parking is not a problem
      Nearly 1,000 parking spaces above and below ground
       It is reported that the stadium has also set up multiple parking lots according to local conditions. The motor vehicle parking lot of the stadium is arranged on the north side of the park, adjacent to the North Outer Ring Road. According to planning requirements, the entire park has four motor vehicle entrances and exits on the North Outer Ring Road to facilitate the rapid evacuation of traffic flow.
       Above-ground motor vehicle parking is set up in the ecological parking lot on the north side of the stadium. Underground parking is set up on both sides of the evacuation passage beneath the west stand and in the semi-underground parking garage beneath the east stand. There are a total of 946 small motor vehicle parking spaces, including 782 outdoor spaces and 164 indoor spaces; and 12 large motor vehicle parking spaces, with 6 indoor and 6 outdoor spaces.
