Populous has announced the creation of an unusual stadium as part of the construction of the giant ultra-modern Kiddiyah complex in Saudi Arabia. The stadium will be located on a 200 metre high cliff above the main part of the complex. It will be able to accommodate 45,000 visitors.
The structure is designed as a universal platform for various public events – sporting, cultural, social and even shows. The main feature of the stadium is the empty space above the cliff itself, which creates a magnificent view of Kiddia. However, this space can be blocked off with a giant retractable LED wall, which will become a screen to show the necessary content. The rest of the walls will also be equipped with the same LED panels, allowing for spectacular events to take place inside.
