All these elements must be adapted to new aesthetic trends of the brand "Real Betis Balompié", transforming the fan experience, the business model, and the spectator attendance of the current Stadium.

The idea must be innovative and integrate the business model developed by Real Betis Balompié to complete a Stadium that is alive 365 days a year, with special importance of a wide range of leisure and entertainment experiences, both on match days and on every other ordinary day, with a prominent role for new technologies, sustainability and inclusion.
