Wow, being built with borrowed Chinese money by 600 chinamen working 24 hrs./day. Maybe this will teach Ticos how things can get done in real time in the real world. Wasn't this project put on hold last year since the original plan only had like 400 parking spaces for 40,000 people?

Not so fast.

The project is believed to have cost up to $80 million dollars and is expected to hold a capacity of 45,000 people. The Chinese workers are reportedly keen to work 24-hours a day on 8 hours shifts in order to quickly get the project completed before the rainy season begins in May. This is however subject to approval for the Costa Rican Labour Ministry who are supposedly hesitant over granting a permit for round the clock work especially seeing as the project already has opposition from those concerned that the project will bring a heavy amount of unwanted traffic to an area that already struggles with congestion.

Finished by May? It's more likely that it won't even be approved by then, this is Costa Rica afterall. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Have no idea where Costa Rica Pages came up with a completion date of May. Obviously a complete stadium can not be constructed in 4 months. A similar article in Inside Costa Rica indicated that they wanted to complete a major portion of the work by May not have the stadium ready for occupancy. That sounds like a more realistic goal.

Chinese Ask To Work Around The Clock To Build New Stadium

The 600 Chinese workers that will be building the new stadium in the Sabana park want to work on a 24 hour basis, if the Ministerio de Trabajo (Labour Ministry) will let them, was the word of a delegation of workers and technicians that are in Costa Rica to program the work.

The advance team made up fo some 30 workers that include engineers and technicians, are already in Costa Rica to lay the ground work for the construction of the new modern stadium with a capacity of 40.000 people.

Chen Shoncang todl the media that his group has submitted the request to Labour officials for the team of construction workers to work around the clock in 3 hour shifts.

The idea is to work at full steam to complete a major part of the stadium before the start of the rainy season.

The stadium who construction is financed by the government of China, will be the most modern in Central America. The total cost of the work is expected to be about us$80 million dollars which is being donated to Costa Rica by China following Costa Rica's establishing diplomatic relations with China after dumping a long standing relation with the government of Taiwan in June 2007.

The new stadium, located on the northwest end of the Parque Metropolitana La Sabana, replaces the old stadium that was demolished last year.

Entirely appropriate that it looks vagina-esque as it was a whorish thing to break off with Taiwan and take up with the richer sugar daddy Mainland China strictly for money. Wonder how big the Chinese Embassy will eventually be to house all the "aid" workers, "commercial attaches" and other spies. Chinese Navy refueling station in Tamarindo somewhere down the road to counter the Russian coziness with Venezuela? Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

Never been to Fed Ex Field have you. Stadium holds something like 75,000 and there are maybe 10,000 parking spaces.
