Valencia, Spain 74,000 Capacity The design is very unique when compared to many other stadiums around the world, the exterior of the stadium will consist of 22,500 aluminium elements that are said to represent Valencia's districts and the river Turia. Since the project has been created, there have been a few changes to the original design (Pictured) for instance the roof is now planned to be made of illuminating blue glass. The Mestalla is one of the most revered stadiums in the Spanish Primera division and home to one of the most well known football clubs around the world, Valencia CF. Their current home has a grand capacity of 55,000 and this new project would see their attendances rise to a whopping 74,000. The project was first brought up in 2006 and building works began in 2007. But over recent years Valencia have had some fairly well known financial issues which has resulted in the project facing several delays. Originally, the project was expected to cost a total of 240 Million Euros but with the main body of the stadium now completed it is expected to cost a further 150 Million to finish the stadium. A fitting new home for one of Spain's biggest clubs, the Nou Mestalla or Nuevo Mestalla will be a great tribute to one of the most admirable clubs in Europe.
