Netanya Stadium (Hebrew: איצטדיון נתניה) is a new multi-use stadium currently being built by the Netanya Municipality. Financing of the new stadium is to come from the sale of land where the old Sar-Tov Stadium stands today. Upon completion of the new stadium, Sar-Tov will be destroyed and a new housing project will be built.
[edit] Planning
On September 30, 2003 Israel's minister of interior, Avraham Poraz, approved the plan to build the stadium in an area called Birkat Hanoun[1]. The plan is a stadium of 20,000 seats that will have 36 private boxes be comprised of four separate stands. the first to be built would be the main grandstands that will house the private boxes, VIP section and press areas. Afterwards, the remaining stands (8,000 places) will be built along with the training grounds.
Spread out over 163 dunam, the entire complex will be connected by train and have a parking lot for around 1,000 automobiles[2].
