Among many other facilities worthy of a great team, Madrid’s arena also benefits from a retractable roof that can be closed or opened in less than 15 minutes.

As reported by AS, the grand opening of the new arena may take place on March 6, on the day of the club. After that, the arena will be able to host events 300 days a year, from concerts to sports matches.

Modernizing the stadium also meant developing a revolutionary turf retraction system so that events could be held without fear of the football pitch being damaged.
