Elevation of Stadiums?

[Adi]

Does anyone know what the elevations are of the stadiums in Switzerland and Austria?

The players appear to be getting tired faster than normally and it's not supposed to be very hot there right now. Also, the Austrian team is running circles around the other teams. Most of their players play in the domestic league as well.

The commentators are not mentioning anything about this either. If anyone could shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.

i dont they'd be any different because if they were than UEFA and FIFA would know about it

Zurich

The stadium of Letzigrund is built on the site of the old stadium and the constructed costed a whooping USD 100 million. The old stadium had a reputation as a world-class athletics venue and the annual Weltklasse Zürich is a competitors' favourite with numerous world records having been set in the old stadium including Sebastian Coe's then record for the mile in 1981.

Also the home ground of FC Zurich, the new stadium is multi-purpose with an athletics track and indoor training facilities and will be used for other sports as well as music concerts. The new stadium has two 52 square meter video screens, an 8-lane athletics track which is 8m below street level and individual lighting columns that can be positioned to form the shape of an open flower.

The constructors have not forgotten the green side while making this stadium and as an eco-friendly measure, the stadium roof will be covered with vegetation and will rise just 16m above street level at its highest elevation.

It says that at the bottom of that web page.

The street level could be highly elevated as well. I think that's saying the roof will have an elevation of 16m from the street, not the actual elevation of the stadium. :dontknow:

it meets fifa's high altitude regulations so i dont think it is that high.
