Text description provided by the architects. A football field has a fundamental and obvious purpose: to be a venue for football matches. But it has two other functions that are less obvious, but not for that reason any less important. One has to do with representation. A football stadium today is a work with certain iconic potential for the city. It does not only have quantitative dimensions. It also has qualitative ones. The second comes from the size of a stadium in relation to its largely only occasional use. Is it not a waste of space? Clearly, it is.
