Spain's architectural marvel, the 'Wanda Metropolitano' is nearing its end stages of completion, just in time for the beginning of soccer season. The new stadium will be home to Atlético Madrid -- a Spanish team that played its first three fixtures on away pitches while anticipating the stadium's completion.
Expected to be ready to host Málaga in less than a month, this Cruz Y Oritz project will be able to accommodate over 67,000 spectators. The stadium features a protective roof and canopy, as well as a 360-degree LED surface that circles the pitch. The seating arrangement offers an increased distance between chairs than most venues, offering guests optimal comfort when viewing a game. In addition to its interior, the Wanda Metropolitano, provides 4,000 parking spaces, as well as a VIP suite that can accommodate 80 people.
