Basel Stadium (Switzerland)
St Jakob Park - 42,500 capacity.
St Jakob's Park replaced the old Joggeli stadium in 2001.
The stadium has a solar power unit on the roof of the stand which
provides sufficient power for much of the stadium's energy needs.
The stadium's area also includes restaurants, cafes, a fitness center,
a shopping centre and a 107-apartment old people's home in an annex
of the stadium.

Before the extension work for Euro 2008, St Jakob's Park had a
capacity of 33,200 including 9,000 standing spots. The stadium will
be all-seater for Euro 2008. The stadium was two and a half years
in construction, cost US$180 million to build and was designed by
Basel based architects Herzog & De Meuron, who are also responsible
for the design of London's Tate Modern Gallery, the Olympic Stadium
in Beijing,
China and the Allianz
Arena Munich. The stadium also hosts pop concerts and other
large-scale events. Like the Munich stadium, St Jakob Park has a
translucent skin which can be illuminated at night.
