Why This Korean Stadium Will Be A Game Changer For Football

It’s not just a stadium, it's an investment in the next generation of footballers. Unreal Engine is changing how projects like this get built - bit.ly/3KNRbVM

So cool to see them doing this.. the Korean culture is one of the most dedicated out there - would love to see how this plays out in 10 years!!

[@yannick245]

They have one _"small"_ problem. While most nations have a wide range of players with different body types, while _(South)_ Korean players, same goes for Japan, have a pretty homogeneous set of players. The central defender often looking just the same as the central forward/striker. I know that they can't just change their genetics and they're doing the best they can to compensate it _(SK and Japan being Asian football powerhouses)_ but it's just a general minus point, that they have to deal with. No one can _"crack the genetic lottery"._ Edit: Are they still having military football clubs? I always loved seeing South Korean players, that are currently doing national military service, were saluting the flag during the national anthem, instead of putting the hand on the heart.

Now that Unreal Engine 5 is out, we're gonna hit the point soon where these virtual architectural models are basically photorealistic. That's wild to think about, that you could essentially visit a planned site in its full form before it physically exists.

[@LutraLovegood]

It's still ways off, but with some work we could get something really convincing by the end of UE5's life.

[@LumoizeArts]

UE5 doesn't offer that much more than UE4 for archviz, however UE4 is still a baffilingly amazing tool that (luckily) more and more construction and design industries are discovering.

Another great video from B1M! I love the design of the new Korean football complex but I think they’re missing some key features such as additional full size and smaller football grounds, a hotel complex (for visitors and visiting football teams), a health centre with facilities for investigations and rehabilitation, restaurant complex focused on traditional Korean dishes, BBQ and healthy diet as well as other holistic training facilities i.e. gyms and swimming pools, parking, travel (bus, train stations, underground). Just my two cents worth. If you’re going to build an international centre then really make it spectacular and innovative.

[@01bdbark]

This facility reminds me of Salt River Fields at Talking stick in Scottsdale Arizona. A massive sports training facility occupied by two Major league baseball teams The Arizona Diamond Backs and the Colorado Rockies.

[@jae1k279]

That virtual thing by unstudio is really powerful. Moreover, football is one of major sports in Korea. However, the K-league itself is not that popular. It's interesting now to see this huge investment in football. Look forward to how K-league would turn out to be.

I grew up in the 90's playing football in venues similar to these proposed here. We had many fields of different sizes, there was a concession booth and a gravel parking lot. I also played indoor football in an arena converted from a roller-skate/ice-skating rink. We had plenty of room for fans to stand or bring a chair. Also similar, is how good my team was. We were one of the best in our county and even bagged a few 2nd place trophies!!!

The polish appears lacking a bit on this one. Had to go back and rewatch the 450 square meters part to be sure I heard it right (thanks for the correction). Still struggling with "it's not uncommon for training fields to be discovered by accident" - makes it seem like the fields just develop in the wild until someone "discovers" them, complete with lines and lights....

Interesting project. Was surprised to see multi lane roads running through the site and a seeming lack of active transport provision and priority, particularly given the Dutch expertise in such things. One would hope a centre for sport excellence, health and well-being promotion could mitigate car addiction better and act as an anchor for wider active transport adoption in the surrounding areas. Will be fascinating to see how it pans out.

[@Cl0ckcl0ck]

You'll need roads for player and supporter buses anyway, light rail is best put underground in places such as these. Also it's easier to use roads to other modes (like walking/partying) than it is to turn/use other use of space into roads.
