Coliseum Summit ASIA to offer a glimpse into China’s major stadium projects

China is rapidly increasing its ‘stadium footprint’. Having hosted the Olympics in 2008 and other major sporting events in recent times, the Asian giant is in somewhat of a spree with stadiums of all shapes and sizes being built across the country.

The Chinese stadium experience will be one of the hot topics at this year’s Coliseum Summit ASIA, to be held in Beijing on September 20-21. Coliseum, global sports venues business summit, will particularly focus on the upcoming stadiums in China. These would primarily include:

1. Hangzhou Olympic Center, Zhejiang Province: The 80,000-seat stadium has been described as one of the key future project of Hangzhou City and Zhejiang Province and received much attention. The stadium will include a 12,000-seat tennis center. The adjoining Hangzhou Olympic Sports Expo Center will be a large urban complex which is expected to boost economic activity in the areas of commerce, travel, accommodation, entertainment, food, leisure, vacation, shopping and other services.
