New Eskişehir Stadium Location Eskişehir, Turkey Built Project Owner Eskişehir City Council Surface Grass Construction cost €80 million[1] Architect add/IAA architekten [1] (arenaCom) General Contractor > Capacity 33,500 Tenants Eskişehirspor New Eskişehir Stadium will be a multi-use stadium in [Muttalip district of (North) Eskişehir, Turkey. The stadium will have a capacity of nearly 33,500 people (all-seated) and will be totally covered. It would be also one of the 9 candidate host stadiums of Turkish bid for EURO 2016.[2] But Turkey has lost the election of the CUP. Despite this result, the Chairman of TFF said "we have to work on these stadiums like a winner of the election, I'm going to talk about it with Primeminister". According to this explanation, Turkey is going to bid for the next tournament as a host country as well and the projects will be constructed due to schedule.
The New Eskişehir Stadium[3] will be the centrepiece for the development of a new sports, business and university park, planned by the City of Eskişehir at the northern periphery of the town. Eskişehir is famous for Sepiolite (Meerschaum) mining which has left a distinct signature on the landscape and inspires the façade of the stadium. The inner walls will be constructed partially with serigraphic glass to provide maximum transparency from the inside and to emphasise its open character at night. A tram is planned to connect the New Eskişehir Stadium with the city centre, the airport and the university. A new express ringroad around the city is planned just south of the stadium.
On 7 January 2010 signed the Eskişehirspor president Halil Ünal, Eskişehir mayor Prof. Dr. Yılmaz Büyükerşen and Eskişehir governor Mehmet Kılıçlar the agreement to construct the new stadium in Muttalip.[4]
The stadium will also replace the current home ground of Eskişehirspor: Eskişehir Atatürk Stadium.
