“The Bordeaux stadium has a very southern spirit,” says Herzog. “It is all about refinement and elegance – things that would be totally absurd in Chelsea.”

Out of interest, why would refinement and elegance be totally absurd in Chelsea?

Ah, so he's already met John Terry...

Looks a bit like Ford Field in Detroit. And there was I thinking that nothing could be much uglier than the existing Stamford Bridge.

I notice that the same architects produced the boring new Bordeaux stadium, which replaces one of Europe's most elegant grounds, the Girondins' beautiful art deco Parc Lescure, built for the 1938 World Cup. Not a good precedent.

I like it (from what I can tell from those impressions anyway).

I can't say from those pictures if I like it or not. But it is different so it gets at least a thumbs up for that.

Well, nothing wrong with being different.

Can't say that those pictures give much away so it could still be amazing or ugly as sin...should be interesting to see either way.
