Preparations are well under way.
The new industrial stadium will restore the positioning of mass sports and civilization space.
At the planning level, the new Workers' Stadium will restore the original urban style and recreate an open and sparse urban space. The monolithic buildings of the Workers' Stadium on the ground, as well as the city park, the lake area, and the environmentally friendly fitness track, will be just as they were when they were first built in 1959.
One of the highlights of the renovation is the structure of the stands, which is in line with the latest planning concepts in Europe, by adjusting the slope of the stands and increasing the distance between the rows of seats to enhance the comfort of spectators. The seats in the east and west sides of the stands are only 8.5 meters away from the grass of the stadium, and the north and south sides are 10 meters away, which greatly improves the fans' experience of watching the game on site. In addition, the project also invited a team of acoustic experts to participate in the planning of the grandstand bowl to ensure the sound effect of the new stadium.
The planning of the canopy is also one of the highlights, with radial beams designed to create visual stability and a home atmosphere. At the same time, in order to meet the requirements for the protection of the landscape, the renovation strictly limits the height and curvature of the new canopy to ensure coordination with the surrounding environment.
After the renovation, the facade of the industrial body adopts colorful fair-faced concrete process, becoming the largest single building in China applying this process.
The above highlights plus the previously announced north side of the "hardcore" fans stands, the signboard of the "Devil's Home Stadium", after the completion of the transformation will be even more dazzling.
Seating was raised to nearly 68,000 seats across the board.

Phase I of the project has a total construction area of 385,000 square meters, and the seating capacity of the stadium has been increased to nearly 68,000 seats through the viewing slope plan.
In addition to the Upper and Lower Stands, spaces such as the Center Stands, Box Level and Club Level have been added, and each level is equipped with lounges for fans, providing a variety of viewing, resting and activity venues and services.
