The playing field and the lower tier of stands are sunk into a crater-like depression in the ground. All functional areas are accessible from a ground-level concourse running round the stadium between the pairs of columns supporting the upper tier of stands. From here one overlooks the arena below and has a view out over the Apulian landscape. The radial layout of the complex is based on a system of 26 axes, on which the 26 entrances are located. The stadium is designed to accommodate 60,000 spectators, with individual seating for everyone.
