Eastern Croatia is known for having been seriously neglected for many, many years. Much like central Croatia and the areas which were hit by the most recent earthquakes, Slavonia and Baranja have become unfortunately synonymous with emigration and a very poor demographic picture. Could things be at least partially remedied for the city of Osijek? With the Osijek luxury construction project going on in spite of the times, it’s a possibility.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, the Osijek luxury construction project, Pampas, is continuing precisely as planned during a time when many an investment has been shelved for better days. The backbone of the most modern football building in Croatia can be seen on the banks of the Drava river.
Osijek’s football arena, with 12,900 fully covered seats, which in the future will be able to expand to 15,000, will be special to Croatia in very many ways. When you enter the building at the level of the field itself, fans will be so close their breath will be felt on the players’ skin because the first rows of the stands will be only five or six metres away from the field, according to a report from Vecernji list.
At the same time, the first two rows of grandstands will boast luxury seats with special ticket prices, while above the last row of grandstands, there will be the so-called sky promenade where spectators will be able to enjoy the rich gastronomic offer, and at the same time they will be able to watch the match unhindered.
