Mersin Arena Stadium is a multipurpose stadium in Mersin. It was completed in 2013. Mersin Stadium is located in the Yenişehir district of Mersin. The stadium covers an area of 55,000 square meters. The stadium’s landscape was designed to connect pedestrians to the surrounding area. Mersin Stadium is situated along the main road and, by connecting to the city center, also serves as a cultural center. The stadium was designed in an elliptical shape. This elliptical form is evident in the stadium’s shell-like structure. The shell is a symbolic form that defines the relationship between the landscape and the structure, while also setting boundaries for the site. Furthermore, the dynamic form created by the elliptical shape is evident throughout all the grandstand areas. The material used in the shell’s construction is suited to Mersin’s climate and provides a comfortable environment for spectators and players alike.
