Building started in the summer of 2000. According to an agreed, obligatory schedule the stadium should be finished by June 30, 2004 at the latest. All works are on schedule. Construction measures:

  • Reconstruction will be accomplished in three main sections.
  • The lower ring will be completely demolished and newly built including changing the slope and line of view.
  • Reconstruction work on the upper ring will include the stairs, redevelopment of the supporting construction, installation of VIP lounges and catering facilities.
  • The pitch will be lowered during the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, because only then the break is sufficiently long.
  • Work on the roofing should also begin in 2002.
  • After the completion of reconstruction there will be 76,000 covered seats. Till now there were 75,000 seats, 27,000 of them covered.
  • 30,000 of the present seats will be re-installed in the reconstructed stadium. The remaining seats will be renovated.
  • Special aspects to preserve monuments must be observed in the areas of facade, stands of honour and marathon gate.
  • Extension of the guest of honour, VIP and business areas plus underground parking spaces.
  • Reduction of the supporting pillars carrying the roof of the stadium.
  • Installation of large-screen video displays.
