Yes, I reckon it wouldn't cost a lot to build a 2,000 - 3,000 seater Athletics stadium.

Edygrin:
Bad Belle. You didnt complain when the SE were playing in calabar which has 12k capacity. Learn to appreciate, stop being a hater. This is the best stadium in Nigeria.

VcStunner:
help me see solomon o... I jus dey pity u,weda u like it or not calabar stadium is now history. We are changing venue now pls and do well to get use to it boy!!

babyboy3:


You Cant double the size of that very stadium unless you knock it down and build it again.

No chance

aris2014:

Guy you are wrong, the space of future expansion is already there ok. When expanding a stadium you don't have to destroy it and rebuild it again. That's why engineer are involve not just ordinary builder . It can be expanded to 50 to 60k capacity

kendrick93:
u are wrong. u can increase it.. anfield is an example

omar22:
I dont know why the NFA took an international game to a stadium thats in the middle of nowhere?

and 30k capacity, is that the best Nigeria could come up with?

Akwa Ibom or Uyo is not a football crazy city and its not central for all the fans to get to..

Nigeria needs a stadium that will create a hostile atmosphere for the opposition, not one that will make our opponent feel like they are playing at home.

Tonylyte:

U are a dullard....u would cry when they will turn back to use the stadium again. Hater!!! U cant hold cally back.

VcStunner:
i feel ur pain bro... Buh u knw dats how d system works, so before they finally break Ūя̲̅ heart, i advice u get use to it. Btw u keep quoting a dullard like me? Really suggests a dullaly to us here. Grow up boy!!

babyboy3:


Look If the stadium's original capacity was around 40k-45K theirs a strong possibility hitting the 60k mark, Just like Chelsea's stamford Bridge which currently holds 42500 and the highest it could go when expanding is around 55k-58k Thats why they are looking at other options. UYo stadium has 2 different stands, the main stand and the ohe that goes round which makes it a bit tricky to expand.

BY TONY UBANI, Uyo

Newly constructed ultra modern 30,000 capacity stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State will host the
Afcon 2015 final group qualifying match between the Super Eagles and South Africa.

This was confirmed yesterday by the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick
in Uyo after an inspection tour of the edifice.

The stadium which has been receiving a lot of media reviews since its completion was described
by the NFF boss as “one of the best and could be compared with any other stadium in the world.”

Pinnick did not need much persuasion before approving the arena for the all-important
encounter which will define Nigeria’s fate in her qualification bid for the 2015 Afcon in Morocco.
Meanwhile, all is now set for the official commissioning of the stadium. It was confirmed
yesterday that Governor Godswill Akpabio will commission the stadium on November 20.

We also gathered that the state government and Julius Berger, the company that built the
stadium have reached a 10-year maintenance agreement.
