Great news for fans of incredible reptilia-inspired 45,000-seater stadiums everywhere, as work has just begun on Bursaspor’s new Timsah Arena – ‘timsah’ being the Turkish word for ‘crocodile’…
That…my friends…is friggin’ spectacular!

amazing
another testament to how hard we’re trying to be different these days. from (country)’s got (no) talent, to this. just build a normal fucking stadium, modern, but not outrageously stupid like this. looks like a childrens amusement park.
EPIC! Sick stadium, sucks it going to crappy team tho….
More like a snake?
@deckard they just try to be different on the outside. The inside looks the same as stadiums in Germany, South Africa and Poland.
And it is what’s on the inside that counts…
I doubt it’ll look good in real life, unless they can somehow make the green colour not look cheap.
Just like how Arsenal are “the gunners”. Bursaspor is “timsahlar”(The crocodiles) I don’t support them but I think its a brilliant concept and would make away games more interesting. It’s giant crocodile, who wouldn’t want to see that?
friends, not the snake that crocodile alligator
How can a colour look “cheap”? We’re not talking about a high-street garm here.
Hmmm not sure what to make of that! Part of me thinks its the best thing ever, and yet part of me also thinks its the stupiest thing I’ve ever seen.
Reminds me of that thing from the second Harry Potter.
so wait, someone explain to me how this is not a snake-theme, but a crocodile-theme? i know it would be even tackier to add crocodile legs to a stadium, but without them, it’s just a damn snake.
@ jamie
Of course a colour can look cheap. How many green iPods, TVs, computers have you seen? Not many, you know why? Because they look cheap.
hey everyone. first of all i am a Bursaspor fan. and as you can see from the news above these stadium is going to be our new one. But as an Bursaspor supporter we have some concern about that stadium because of the area that its built. Nevermind its a kind of ourselves problem :D. I just want to give some information about stadium roof as it illustrate like a crocodile. it looks quite different from croc as it seen in the pics. ,i accept :)) but It will look better after it has build you can trust me. Because roof part of the stadium is going to build with special way with european architecs. By the way we r going to play with Anderlecht , hope u will see us in Europa Leauge groups. ıt’s goingto be hard but i trust my team :D
see u ;)
This is just stupid.
Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s stupid. It’s Turkey, the team’s nickname is “the Crocodiles” and they’ve got the balls to give it a go.
nice stadium, i wonder if the guys at old trafford will rework it in the near future to make it look more like hell (for the Red Devils) :D
Slaughtering animals before matches, building stadiums that look like animals…next thing’s gonna be a new national flag, with the moon replaced by a…turkey?
great stadium :) something new, why not be different? Hopefully Sercan Yildirim will still be there when it’s made – top young player!
FUCK Bursaspor!
