Saudi Arabia and tall buildings?

No thanks. What could go wrong?

Just wait until they schedule the US to play in that Hindenburg.

Just think, if you attended a match there, you have a decent shot at getting your name written on the expected disaster memorial.

Sure this is fake. But for fun lets say its a 10,000 seat stadium which is too small to host at WC game, but easier for math.

One of the worlds largest passenger elevators in China can carry 50 people 1,070 ft in 1.5 minutes.

So adding 30 secs each way for unloading/loading (unrealistic but easy math), a round trip takes 4 minutes.

Lets say the venue had 10 of these $20 million elevators, thats only 500 people at a time. That is 20 total trips at peak efficiency or 80 minutes for 10,000 people. If it was a full-house and everyone stayed till the end, and ignoring staff, vendors, players, VIPS (maybe helo for them), it would take almost 1.5 hours to get all of the fans in and out.

Yall think Tiger Stadium empties out fast at halftime....

So people would enter the stadium from the bottom?
No they're going to parachute in from airplanes, and saudis will bet on it or helicopter in for a premium

I wouldn't go to terrorist-harboring, woman-hating, Muslim-infested, hypocritical shithole for all the fake AI images in the world.

Would love to go to a game there. It looks amazing

They don’t skimp on expenses, it’s built well.

No one minds doing business with the Royals of Saudi.

Getting in and out of there seems like a nightmare. Has to be elevators, right?

frick that shite. Stadiums are big enough mass casualty targets as it is.

Sticking a stadium in the sky built by oppressive slavers who constantly stir up shite an unstable region is just begging for a horrible event.

Baseball would be fricked up there. With homeruns


Eh, I’ve hit some dingers in slow pitch softball over there when I worked in Jeddah, so it’s doable.

Problem is if they build it in Jeddah the moisture from the Red Sea and that heat lead to extremely high humidity, which makes any leather covered ball (basebsll, softball) slick as snail chit. Hard to throw accurately when trying to bear down on it, so baseball pitching would be erratic to say the least.

Now if they built it in Riyadh that would be a different story…minimal humidity.

On second thought though a good knuckle-baller would absolutely rule and be unhittanle

This is the one that is supposed to be 350 meters off the ground and built into The Line development.

Looks like some dystopian future were everything is super high because ground level is unlivable.

I shall never go into that. Ever.

Also seems like a huge terrorist target. 50,000 people trapped at the top of a building, what could go wrong?!
