Meinau Stadium Renovation Proposal – Strasbourg, France

The Meinau Stadium (Stade de la Meinau), located in Strasbourg, France, is the historic home of Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace, a prominent Ligue 1 football club. With a current seating capacity of approximately 26,280, the stadium is one of the oldest in France, dating back to its inauguration in 1914. Over the years, it has been a cherished venue for passionate fans and has hosted numerous unforgettable matches and events.
This renovation project proposes a significant upgrade, expanding the stadium’s capacity to 35,000 seats through an innovative suralimentation strategy using a wooden structure. This design not only increases spectator capacity for major competitions but also enhances sightlines, ensuring every fan enjoys an improved view of the game.
By incorporating wood as a primary structural element, the Meinau Stadium will become the first stadium in France—and among the pioneers worldwide—constructed with sustainable timber, positioning it at the forefront of architectural innovation and eco-friendly design.
This transformation aims to preserve the stadium’s rich legacy while elevating it into a modern, sustainable, and fan-centric sporting venue for decades to come.
