Stadiums With Stunning Glass Roofs That Let Nature Be Part of the Game

24. Stade de Bordeaux (Matmut Atlantique) – Bordeaux, France

Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, this sleek, minimalist stadium features a large cantilevered glass and ETFE roof that appears to float above its thin, elegant columns. The roof's transparency enhances the stadium’s open-air feeling while ensuring weather protection and energy efficiency. The effect is subtle yet breathtaking—the field glows under filtered daylight, and spectators experience a kind of openness that feels almost ethereal. The structure has been praised as one of the most visually refined stadiums in Europe, and its glass components are key to that architectural serenity.
