[@jolee6049]

Wow, that’s beyond world-class!! Fantastic China🎉

1983看过工体的新星音乐会，包括苏小明等，那会儿才十岁。后来去过几次看足球赛。如今的工人体育馆原地换了一栋新建筑，感慨自己老了

I'll look forward to visit it as I love football 😁

Great to hear it will be connected to the subway! Politicians need to understand that adding more lanes to a highway will NOT solve traffic but will simply make it worse. So building transit is the solution! The design of the new Workers' Stadium reminds me a lot of Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium or formerly known as the Central Lenin Stadium. It was the main venue of the 1980 Summer Olympics and just like the old Workers' Stadium, it was once all open with no roof. After the USSR was dissolved, it was privatized, and it got a renovation. But instead of demolishing the whole thing, they opted to keep the design and add a giant roof and decreased the capacity. We have a pretty impressive stadium ourselves called the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium. It's famous for being the venue where our iconic Arirang Mass Games take place, which has the Guinness World Record for the largest gymnastic display! It opened back in 1989 and between then and 2020, it was the largest stadium in the world with a capacity of 114,000!

Great great great 👍👍👍 cool baby 😊

Definitely looks like a stadium you'd picture in Europe! So state of the art! Kudos to China for finally doing a big transformation to that place! The old Workers' Stadium played host to some 2008 Summer Olympics events too as it hosted the football quarterfinals and semi-finals, and the women's gold medal final. It was also gonna host the first ever NFL (American football) game in China called the China Bowl in August 2007 to kick off the one-year countdown to the Olympics, but the NFL decided to focus on the International Series which initially took place at Wembley Stadium instead (and have since expanded to include Mexico and Germany) and so they canceled the China Bowl in April of that year. The old Workers' Stadium was also included as the main venue of the 2008 Summer Olympics in their bid back in 2001, but of course, they opted to build the majestic National Stadium/Bird's Nest instead for the main venue and I'm glad they did because she is a beaut! The Bird's Nest remains my favorite stadium because it's just so unique. Despite the name Bird's Nest, for those who don't know it's a combination of the crackle glazed pottery that is local to Beijing, and the heavily veined Chinese scholar stones. This inspiration shows just how passionate the Chinese are with their history and culture. And while not being a bird's nest, Li Xinggang said it's still a compliment as eating bird's nest is something for special occasions.

[@TravelinChina]

Apparently you can walk along the top of the Bird's Nest. I've never done it but I'd love to try. However, watching football at the Bird's Nest is also not great, same problem as the old Workers' Stadium. Fans are too far away from the match. This new Workers' Stadium is so perfect for football! Very big though, I hope they can fill it for most home matches.

Stu is handsome 😊

[@Flanker-L]

classic style stadium with football design

[@myadoptionlife3024]

Thanks Stu for introducing this brand new football stadium.

[@TravelinChina]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching

[@cheungchingtong]

Chinese athletes can be top or rather competetive in many sports, as long as we don't mention the men's football team, pffff.

1:50 2:10 2:34 For people who have acrophobia, I don't know how they are able to manage to sit there or walk up and down the aisle especially when the stadium is not fully packed.

[@TravelinChina]

This is pretty steep! Not as steep as the Ajax stadium in the Netherlands... That's the steepest I've ever been to. But you're right, if you have trouble with heights, probably best to sit in the lower level.

Hi Stu, This is don't be Messy. Stop leaving rubbish behind. Take your rubbish home with you. Definitely not going to be a mate with one who's so messy. Very crossed with your messy pass. Signed - Don't be Messy.

Could imagine your dad would love to be there right now watching the match.

[@jennyohara4011]

Fantastic Content! Stu!

[@TravelinChina]

Thanks Jenny! Did you see the young lad who ran onto the pitch and gave Messi a hug?

[@JustaBritinChina]

I watched a few matches at the Gong Ti in 2009 when they won it, and 2010. After that I moved out of Beijing but the matches were always live on BTV. Since I've been married I spend more time here in Changchun so I can't follow it so closely. Great to see the new stadium. Hopefully they'll have a decent team to play in it.

[@jeffreysetapak]

Part of the stadium is dark, spooky creepy, scary and haunted. Woo.......... 👻👻👻👻

[@rsyrsy8543]

After the tour, you don’t need to got to gym today

[@sharonsoon4866]

The stadium looks huge.

[@TravelinChina]

It is!

[@heesingsia4634]

Wouldn't it be absolutely smashing if Wolves would play a pre-season friendly here next season? I'd love to see Bob and Heather in the box with you

[@TravelinChina]

It absolutely would be, but unfortunately Wolves are going to South Korea instead.

If every Brit were like you, UK would be growing economically by at least 3.5%. But it is declining by at least 2%.

[@baatarbeifong7869]

That stadium looks awesome! I wonder how cool the stadium food will be. If they sold something like Chinese donkey burgers, then I think that both local and international attendees would be really happy~

[@TravelinChina]

Unfortunately, no donkey burgers on sale. I saw signs for hotdogs :(

[@langjiangcn1164]

Thanks for letting more people know Beijing Guoan FC. :)

[@TravelinChina]

My pleasure!

[@randomname931]

Amazing stadium.

[@george6210]

The overall construction slowed down a bit due to the pandemic, it is therefore the main stadium completed while commercials attached are needed to catch up. This definitely is the home for all Guoan funs. I am writing this piece while Argentina is taking on Australian Team.

[@charleneji6759]

Let us know if Messi contacts you. 😂
