It is rectangular in shape and consists of a reinforced concrete structure with a steel roof and stands six floors tall, reaching a height of approximately 28 meters.
[26][27] There are large amount of retailers on the site for shopping, eating and drinking, relaxation and working.
There is also the 'Player's Suite' hospitality package, which consists of 124 premium seats and is as close as you can get to the players and the pitch on a matchday.
