Retractible roof that was fully adjustable on all sides to allow for the angle of the sun. #55,000 capacity, multi-use stadium (even catered for water sports) with premium seating, but all seats had an excellent view close to the action, hundreds of food and beverage outlets, easy access to bookmakers, private boxes for those who could afford them, and 80 entrances, able to be emptied in less than 15 minutes, right in the heart of the city.
