The new Bernabeu takes shape
The situation
When there are 70 days left before Madrid play an official match at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium (it will be on September 3-4, on the fourth day of the 2022-23 League against Betis), the Madrid Coliseum is advancing by leaps and bounds in its complete transformation for the future. As was the case last season, the whites will start playing away the first three days (Almería, Celta and Espanyol), something that will give more impetus to the works , although it will not be until next season (Liga 2023-24), when everything is fully finished. With the lawn completely raised (it began to be raised on May 30) so that the works can advance in the construction of the hypogeum that will house the grass slabs located on the west side (the Castellana area), the most significant push has been come in the closing of the roof, for which, the different layers that will cover the stadium have already been installed, practically up to the sidewalks that run around the perimeter of the stadium. After the end of the League and the subsequent party for the achievement of the Fourteenth, the reform has attacked the area of the West side. As explained before, the hypogeum that will house the grass plates will be located there: work is being done on the emptying, settlement and the slabs for it.
The details
In addition, and as the Nuevo Estadio Bernabeu website points out , the sanitation pipes are being mounted on said slab, while the anchors of the greenhouse are sealed with resin, the plates of the distribution beams are painted and the formwork is being assembled and the beam is assembled. headboard perimeter at level 6. This is one of the great infrastructures that the Madrid Coliseum will feature, and which, curiously, will be hidden from fans. Another of the great innovations will be the covering of the stadium. Since the beginning of last week, the roof of the stadium has been covered with sheets, something that already began in the spring and that the Madridista members saw from day to day that Madrid played in their stadium.
