Renovation and extension of the football stadium “Estadio La Cartuja”
The renovation and extension of La Cartuja Stadium, designed by Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos, aimed to transform the venue into a stadium primarily intended for football and the hosting of events.
The main intervention focused on the removal of the existing athletics track, the lowering of the playing field to level -3.80 m, and the construction of a new football pitch with the official UEFA dimensions of 105 x 68 m.
The project also included the construction of a new lower tier, designed to bring spectators closer to the pitch and improve visibility and overall stadium use. This stand was conceived as entirely new in the north and south sections, while in the side and end stands it was designed as a continuation of the existing seating.
In addition to the interventions on the pitch and the stands, the project incorporated targeted works within the building to provide access to the new lower tier and equip it with the necessary services. These interventions included new restrooms, bars, social areas, and accessible routes, adapting the stadium to the expected increase in capacity and to the new needs of the public.
