For years, a distinct feature circled the pitch at José Alvalade stadium. That familiar moat, or barrier, is now completely gone. Its removal marks a significant step. The stadium is getting a major facelift. Fans are already buzzing with excitement.
This barrier had been a part of the venue since it first opened in 2003. Now, the space is entirely filled in. It’s part of a much bigger renovation project. Just a few weeks remain until the team’s planned return. They are set to play Arouca in their second league game.
On a recent Thursday afternoon, new images surfaced. They showed more progress. A new player entrance has appeared in the West Stand. It reminds many of the famous ‘San Siro’ stadium. That iconic ground is home to both AC Milan and Inter. This new entry gives a fresh feel to the players’ arrival.
The field itself is also getting a total overhaul. The ground is now perfectly level. New piping and irrigation systems are fully installed. All that awaits is the final touch. A specialized company will lay down the new grass. This will create a fresh stage for the players.
Early footage showed the work already advancing rapidly. The new images further confirm the stadium is on track. It seems ready to welcome the team home without any delays. Supporters continue to share videos and pictures of the changing stadium. They are eager to see the finished product.
