The first underground stadium ever constructed will be ready in 2010: here we have The Wall Stadium in Doha, Qatar.
Why underground? Obviously it’s a great revolution to have the world’s first underground stadium but there’s one priceless benefit, especially in a climate such as Qatar’s: on summer, Doha’s temperature reaches 50ºC.
