Frankfurt
Stadium
Waldstadion (complete reconstruction) - 48,000 capacity.
The
new Waldstadion is being built on the same site as its previous
incarnation, which was constructed in the 1920s and renovated
for the 1974 FIFA World Cup and again for the 1988 European
Championships. The complete reconstruction of the stadium
will involve a moveable roof. Venue for the famous waterlogged
semi-final between Poland and West Germany in 1974 when
a helicopter was used to dry out the pitch. Total costs
for the stadium are estimated at 126 million Euros with
completion expected in 2005.
