The requirements were for a modern up to date roofed stadium capable of housing Olympic competitions. The terraces are to be 65% covered. The roof is suspended from larg 65m high Concrete/steel pylons. The steel structure which holds the roof is spanned by nonuniform barrel vaults. These are covered with corrugated steel except for the front part which is poly carbonate.

American dollars at work. I hope it's not blown up, and that it serves to facilitate civilization.

Nope the half billion which will probably grow to 3/4ths a billion is from Iraqi oil money. Here is what it is supposed to look like when it is done.

Wow! Is this for real? It is beautiful. Maybe the 2016 Olympics should be in Baghdad instead of LA or Chicago????

A Turkish company called Yiltash is building it, I have no idea who is the architect nor do I know the state of construction.

"Financed by the oil for food programme the project was aworded to a Turkish company, "Yiltash", by the Ministry of Youth. The design was awarded to us under the supervision of the Idrissi Center for design Consultancy, a government agency. The requirements were for a modern up to date roofed stadium capable of housing Olympic competitions. The terraces were to be 65% covered."
It seems that Turkey is honoring the Oil for Food "transactions". Interesting. The article is dated 1/31/2006. Here is the URL.
