If you haven't read the first part, check it out here: #-Link-Snipped-#

Qatar has already been successful in attracting the attention of the world towards its 12 colorful proposed stadiums including ones like the  boat shaped Al Shamal stadium, the sea shell shaped Al Khor Stadium.

Qatar says it will be unrealistic to have so many luxury stadiums once the event has ended. So they will be dismantled as modular parts and be used to rebuild 22 new stadiums in the developing nations. The stadium seating will consist of two tiers. The lower tier will be permanent and the upper tier will alone be made of modular elements and will be removed once this sporting event is over.

AL SHAMAL STADIUM -

This is a proposed stadium to be built in al-shamal. It is just 30 minutes drive from Bahrain. This has been inspired by the traditional fishing boats of gulf ‘dhows’ and has been designed to resemble them. It will have a seating capacity of 45,120, with a permanent lower tier of 25,500 seats and a modular upper tier of 19,620 seats. The visitors are expected to arrive using the water taxis, new metro rail and around 10% visitors are expected to arrive via the world's longest free-standing bridge - the Qatar-Bahrain Friendship Bridge.

This asymmetrical stadium will seat 45,330 football fans with permanent lower tier seats of 25,500 and modular upper tier seats of 19,830. Resembling a sea shell this stadium has a flexible roof that will shade the spectators from the sun. The top row seats can have an additional advantage of having a spectacular view of the Arabian Gulf from their seat. The fans will arrive using the public buses, taxis, water taxis.
