The new Bordeaux stadium, a showcase for the region
18 May 2015 - Events - France
The new stadium in Bordeaux, built under a public-private partnership arrangement, was officially opened on Monday, 18 May 2015. It is the largest venue in Western France, with 42,000 seats in sports event configuration and up to 45,000 for concerts. The first connected stadium in France, it was completed in a very short time, between November 2012 and April 2015.
The project called for all the expertise of VINCI’s integrated design, finance, build and operate business model through subsidiaries VINCI Construction, VINCI Concessions, VINCI Energies and Eurovia. VINCI Concessions created subsidiary VINCI Stadium to specialise in stadium operation with a view to optimising the operating model of stadiums so that they attain economic maturity. Today, VINCI Stadium is Europe’s biggest stadium operator with Stade de France near Paris, MMArena in Le Mans, Allianz Riviera in Nice, the new Bordeaux stadium and the former London Olympic Games stadium in Queen Elizabeth Park.
