There is still no crowd in the stadiums, but we are all waiting for the moment for that to happen. Meanwhile, this week we got a glimpse of the completion of the facade cladding work at Bloomfield Stadium, which made the stadium more spectacular externally. So what does this change actually mean for the average fan and what else has changed at Bloomfield in 2020?
Let’s start with the subject of cladding. Importantly, this is a purely cosmetic change, meaning it will not affect the amount of spectators who can enter the stadium or change the viewing experience dramatically.
In addition, unplanned interior cladding work is currently underway. The purpose of this work is mainly an aesthetic improvement, while at the same time it may also be for the roofing of the entrance to the western and eastern stands.
In addition, the sports channel has learned that a number of works have recently been done at Bloomfield Stadium regarding the intrusion and accumulation of rainwater. These are works that will continue in the near future, in the hope that we will not see mirrors similar to the floods we experienced last season.
Another project they have been working on recently is the replacement of the LED screens in the stadium. The sports halls company added LED screens, which within a month are supposed to start being used in the stadium during the games. At the same time, the kitchens were upgraded and the entire VIP hall was upgraded, in terms of amplification and multimedia because in the future it should be a hall that will have events and conferences (up to 1,000 people will be able to enter).
At the same time, they will soon start working on an electronic directional signage system for the stadium that will help guide a crowd to the future before each game.
As for the question of questions, the subject of the roof, so at this stage there are no talks or planning for the construction of a roof in the stadium. There may be such works in the future, but there are currently no plans or works on the subject, and this is not expected to happen in the near future.
Maor BinyaminiThe director of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa sports halls told the sports channel about the works: “Bloomfield Stadium did not rest in the closure either. Along with the many football games in the Premier League of the three home teams and in the European framework, To return to the audience we hope to be soon.In this framework the pre-budgeted exterior cladding was completed, a wide LED screen infrastructure was completed, the VIP hall was upgraded with amplification and multimedia and the kitchens in the stadium were completed so that it could host conferences and events at all hours of operation. “
