The new Ibercaja Romareda stadium, whose opening is scheduled for the 2027-28 season, continues its development within a schedule that allows no delays. With a construction period set at 132 weeks, the project aims to replace the current venue with a modern infrastructure that meets current standards of comfort and safety. The work progresses in parallel with the management of permits and the logistics necessary to maintain the set pace.
Engineering and tight deadlines at the new Romareda 🏗️
The stadium's design incorporates modular technical solutions to speed up assembly without compromising the structure. Precast concrete and steel will be used in the stands and roof, reducing curing and welding times on site. The foundation adapts to the terrain using large-diameter piles, while the ventilated facade and efficient climate control system will be installed in overlapping phases. Each week involves measured progress in cubic meters of concrete and tons of steel placed.
The club trusts that workers won't take 132 weeks of coffee breaks ☕
The board assures that everything is going according to plan, although fans recall that in Zaragoza, construction projects usually last as long as a dry spell at La Romareda: longer than expected. With a 132-week margin, any unforeseen weather or bureaucratic issue could turn the deadline into a suggestion. That said, if the workers maintain the pace of the cheering sections, they might even inaugurate it before Real Zaragoza returns to the First Division.
