  One of the world's biggest membrane roof systems
                           The building's oval-shaped RCC structure
                           Compliant with the retrofitting structure but independent steel frame
                            for a 71-meter Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene roof over the Spectator
                            Stand
                           53800 square meters of Teflon-coated roofing

                           512 columns undergo special retrofitting with steel jacketing.
                            Compression ring: To support the cable net system of the tensile roof,
                            a Steel Compression ring stretches 71 meters into the stands.
                            Tensile Membrane: Without any perpendicular support from within
                            the stadium, PTFE Shear Fill Panels are used to fill the spaces
                            between the cable net system. The cable net system consists of 443
                            tons of pre-stretched cables in diameters ranging from 40 to 95 mm,
                            with a length of 2220 km.
