If you're looking for a book with architectural drawings such as floor plans, sections or elevation i believe it's not the best book for you.

This book mainly contains lots of information and diagrams about stadiums and it's standards which is very helpful for any architectural studies.. it's a very rich book for those who want to know more about stadium design but i recommend having beside it another book with more architectural drawings to give you the whole picture.

I was amazed by the information overflow and detailed accuracy in this work. You may think there's a lot of extra info and not enough pictures/diagrams, but believe me there's plenty of images that helps reader's comprehension levels. I think it is a very good source for anybody, who needs to get inspired and to design new stadia. It helps you from ground up. As for the price, it is well worth to spend on this book rather than try to compile bunch of other cheap ones. This book gives back much more value than it takes out from your pocket. Finally, it is a very successful work and keeps replenishing with newest inventions in stadia technology. That is why this is the 4th edition.

The book is a well thought out document that covers a fairly comprehensive scope in regards to stadia design. A very good first stop publication for those interested in stadia design.

simple and easy to understand information.
crisp and uncomplicated diagrams.
a definate must buy for starting off a stadium design.
