All renderings courtesy Populous West End Stadium, the future home of FC Cincinnati, was recently unveiled by the team’s ownership group. The $250 million, Populous-deigned stadium will feature “an interpretation of Cincinnati on the rise.” The stadium will have a final seating capacity of between 26,000 and 26,500 with a 360degree canopy roof that will cover every seat in the stadium. The stadium’s exterior will feature 513 vertical fins that form a wave-like external structure and enclose the stadium. Custom LED lighting on each fin will help the stadium appear to glow when lit for evening events. The fins will each have custom LED lighting and a lighting system that will allow for unique motion sequences to be displayed on the stadium’s east-facing façade. The western façade will have a more traditional glass aesthetic to smooth the transition into the surrounding neighborhood. 1/4
