新体育场与旧的圣梅斯几乎位于同一个地方，与之重叠。这一事实迫使该队分两阶段施工，使该队无法进行客场比赛。

Located practically in the same place as the existing one, the new stadium overlaps with the old San Mames. This fact forced its construction to be carried out in two phases in such a way that it prevented the team from having to play away.

新圣梅斯设计的主要挑战之一是保持旧大教堂的强烈而神奇的足球氛围。这一效果不仅持续而且增加，彻底满足了世界上最好的球迷基地之一的需求。

One of the main challenges in the design of the New San Mames was maintaining the intense and magical football atmosphere of the old Cathedral. This effect has not only been sustained but increased, thoroughly satisfying the demands of one of the best fan bases in the world.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

新体育场的位置，在毕尔巴鄂扩张区的城市网的尽头，带着特权窥视着河口，把这座建筑变成了一座建筑，必须明确而有力地引入，但同时，尊重构成这个城市区域的其他建筑。从这反映出来的第一个方面，为它的设计铭记。也就是说，将建筑视为城市建筑，相对于其他建筑而言，不仅仅是简单的体育设施。

The location of the new stadium, at the end of the urban mesh of the expansion district of Bilbao, peeping over the estuary with privilege, turns the building into a piece of architecture that must be introduced categorically and with force, but at the same time, respecting the rest of the buildings that make up that area of the city. From this reflection comes one of the first aspects borne in mind for its design. That is, the perception of the erected construction as an urban building, in relation to the others and not just as simple sports facilities.

它是为那些传统上一文不值的体育场而设计的。它们位于体育场的外围和看台的后部之间，构成了进出看台的流通区域，毕竟，看台是整个足球场的主要部分。为了使这些地区获得附加值，该项目的战略包括：不仅给这些地区提供空间特征，而且确保它们与城市和周围环境有非常紧密的联系。为了这个目的，一个基本的元素，肯定会赋予新圣梅斯体育场的个性，在外观上发挥作用。这是一个扭曲的ETFE元素的重复，给出了提升的能量和统一。这一元素将在夜间照明，从而在河口创造一个城市地标，从内部投射出毕尔巴鄂的新形象，这要归功于世界上最先进的动态照明系统之一。屋顶，形成了强大的径向金属桁架定向到球场的中心，是用白色的ETFE垫子，覆盖整个看台。看台的设置完全集中在球场上，最大限度地发挥球迷在比赛中施加的压力，就像老圣梅斯一样，世界各地都知道它就像一个高压锅，公众会在游戏中占据上风。

It was intended for those stadium areas that are traditionally worthless to become valuable. These are located between the stadium’s perimeter and the rear part of the stands and constitute the circulation areas through which you can access and exit the stands, which are, after all, the main part of the whole football stadium. In order to give these areas an added value, the strategy of the project consisted of, not only giving them spatial features, but also making sure that they had a very intense connection with the city and the surroundings. For this purpose, a basic element that will surely give character to the New San Mames stadium is put into play on the façade. This is, the repetition of a twisted ETFE element, giving the elevation energy and unity. This element will be illuminated at night, thus creating an urban landmark over the estuary, projecting a new image of Bilbao from within, thanks to one of the most advanced dynamic lighting systems in the world. The roof, formed by powerful radial metal trusses orientated towards the centre of the pitch, is covered with white ETFE cushions, covering the entire stands. The set-up of the stands is totally focused on the field, maximizing the pressure that the fans exert on the game, just like in the old San Mames, known the world over for being like a pressure cooker where the public would be on top of the players.
