The Structural Engineer, Volume 69, Issue 8, 1991
Sheffield International Arena will provide a multipurpose venue for major events attracting visitors from a wide area. Built as one of the venues for the World Student Games to be held in Sheffield in July 1991, it will host gymnastics, basketball and volleyball. Thereafter, it will provide excellent facilities for all who watch and take part in sporting events, concerts, exhibitions, family shows, and leisure activities. It represents for the UK a major advance in spectator comfort and viewing. P.R. Benson and P.A. Gossen
In June 1990 the Football World championship took place in Italy. The International Organising Committee had stated that the 11 stadia where the games had to be played should comply with some unified rules that, for instance, ask for individual seats for each participant, a roofing able to cover the tiers but with the central green open to the air, and space and facilities for the press and radio/TV networks. Professor Dr. Ing. L. Finzi
