| Wanda Metropolitano stadium, built by FCC, opens its doors  The new headquarters of Atletico Madrid, occupies a total area of 88,150 square meters and has a capacity to accommodate more than 68,000 fans, distributed in general capacity and VIP area. In addition, it has more than 1,000 parking spaces for fans inside the stadium and 3, 000 outdoor parking spaces. The state-of-the-art design of the sports complex was provided by the architects Cruz y Ortiz. They emphasize the concrete finishes and the ample interior spaces that allow the mobility of the fans by all the complex.The distribution of the new stands allows the fans and / or spectators to be close to the pitch. The new stadium has three new T-shaped stands, a low stand formed by 28 tiers in the bottoms and in the preferred areas, an average of 13 tiers for VIPs with direct access from the outside and last, a high stand supported on a perimeter building of 32 steps, where are located the accesses of public, VIPs boxes and complementary services. Also FCC, has built, in the lower area of the high stand, a space of 94 boxes. The stadium cover requires a special mention. It is constituted by a steel structure of about 6,336 tons, tensioned with radial cables and united with a membrane that occupies an area of 83.053 square meters. The membrane is composed of 720 panels of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which has a weight of 92 tons. The roof covers the stands and will help ensure that 96% of the localities are protected from rain. This is a unique and differentiating element to the rest of European sports facilities designed in recent years. The figures provided by FCC Group highlight that more than 2,881 workers participated in the project. To make this project possible, 7 tower cranes have been used, which have allowed transport: more than 54 tons of cement and 4,200 square meters of glass. The new stadium is the first in the world to use entirely LED technology, thus transforming the skyline of the city of Madrid. More than 16 million colors will be projected in each game.
