Ground will be home to Bursaspor football club
Construction has started at the site of the 45,000-seat football Timsah Stadium in Turkey, a 150,000 sq m scheme backed by the Bursa Metropolitan Municipality.
The distinctive design, which is designed to resemble a crocodile, was produced by Bursa-based practice Sozuneri Architects and pays tribute to Bursaspor, nicknamed the Green Crocodiles, which will use the stadium as its home ground when it is finished. Timsah Stadium means Crocodile Stadium in English.
Site clearance started in June and it is planned construction will be completed by the end of 2012 when Bursaspor will move from its current home ground, the 25,000-seat Bursa Ataturk Stadium.
The team, which plays in Turkey’s top division, signed England international goalkeeper Scott Carson from Premiership side West Bromwich Albion earlier this summer.
