[QUOTE="CONN78SEJ, post: 4668948, member: 10604"] Sure, I agree with you a good architect can design a beautiful stadium using more steel than concrete. In that case most of the concrete is of a pre stressed nature done under controlled conditions. The only things done nowadays in a “single pour” are usually the footings. All that being said, when a new stadium is designed the cost is generally determined by the ratio of steel to concrete. The more use of concrete vs steel the higher the cost of construction, the advantage of course in using more concrete than steel is the stadium will last many years before repairs are needed. Take the Roman Colosseum, all very hard concrete and still standing after thousands of years. If Rome had discovered steel, any beams used in its construction would have rusted away centuries ago causing collapse. [/QUOTE]
