(
Romanian pronunciation:
[stadi?onul
natsi.o?nal]
; "The National Stadium") was a
multi-purpose stadium
in
Bucharest
,
Romania
. The stadium held 60,120 people.
History
[
edit
]
It was built in 1953, for the
4th World Festival of Youth and Students
. According to the book
Bucure?ti
published in 1968 by Institutul Proiect Bucure?ti,
Complexul Sportiv August 23
was designed by the well known architect Vily Juster.
It was first known as
Stadionul August 23
, and later on as
Stadionul Na?ional
. The sports complex that included Na?ional Stadium, is named
Lia Manoliu
(1932?1998) after the famous Romanian athlete.
It was used mostly for
football
matches.
It hosted numerous concerts after the
1989 Revolution
, including
Michael Jackson
's
Dangerous World Tour
concert on October 1, 1992
90,000 Public, as well as the
HIStory World Tour
concert on September 14, 1996. 70,000 public
In October 2005, it was decided to rebuild the stadium completely; however, initially no funding was found, so some repairs proceeded in lieu of rebuilding. Later, funds became available and the rebuilding is expected to begin in November 2007. The plan calls for completion of a new five-star arena by April 2010. The last football match played was a 6?1 win against
Albania
on November 21, 2007. After the match, a few seats were removed from the stadium, as a symbolic start of the rebuilding operations. The stadium has subsequently been demolished to make room for
a new one
.
