Those stands are fecking HUGE. I cant find any numbers for total seats. It also seems they havent sold out with plenty tickets still available. Theres nothing worse than huge stadiums with lots of empty seats.

IF they fill this thing, it'll be mental. How do the locals go mental anyway? They might just sit there quietly with the occasional, "OOOooo".

Will it be an open air event?

Pretty impressive, I wonder how much the grunts get paid to do that there.

Of course.

These guys have so much money, they can pay god to conjure it up. God owes them still from the money he borrowed to pull off Genesis.

Totally forgot that it was open air. Looks awesome.

 

[TheBadGuy]

Isnt there hot if this is in Abu Dhabi? It's like 30 celsius!!

They better have good air conditioning.

Eh... dude... its outdoors.

...In Abu Dhabi. Do you know how hot is in there?
It's usually cooler inside than outside.

That's the bad thing :confused05:

 

[BobbyCooper]

true, but indoor all the spotlights heat it up too! I'm pretty sure it doesn't make such a huge difference for the fighters.

 

[Spec0688]

The heat from the lamps isnt that big of a problem. It is the humidity that might be a problem in Abu Dhabi, I think we will see a few fighters gas early. I hope everyone brings their A-game in terms of conditioning.

The arena looks SICK though, I expect the UFC will hold 1-2 events there yearly once its all completed.

 

[Canadian Psycho]

Looks pretty sweet thus far. Anticipating the finished product.

a lot of the fighters have said it shouldn't be too much of a problem because on usual events the lights beaming down on the octagon gives of a lot of heat and i'd imagine they would all go out well in advance bj was there 2 weeks ago

As far as I know they are so rich there that there should be ample air conditioning OUTSIDE!

It will be dark, surely they will still need all the lights?

 

[Soojooko]

Long as its night time, it'll be around 25c. Warm, but not very hot. Perfect time of year really.

The heat from the lights simply rises into the sky on outdoor rigs, as does all the body heat. Unlike indoor stadiums that need a nuclear powered air-con otherwise we all die.

It'll be interesting to see fighters that are not from hot climates and if it will have any effect on their performance, compared to the guys that are.
