Turkish soccer team’s new stadium is a giant green crocodile

Turkish club Bursaspor currently plays in a pretty outdated stadium, so they’re building a new one. And the new one is A DANG GIANT CROCODILE.

The club’s nickname is Yeşil Timsahlar, which translates to Green Crocodiles. Their new 45,000 seat Timsah Arena, scheduled to open later in 2015, is just about the coolest looking stadium in the world.

As if that wasn’t already awesome, those eyes and the mouth light up at night, so it looks like it’s going to eat you alive.

There are also pretty sick luxury boxes and offices inside of the stadium. Basically, this thing is perfect, and more teams should aspire to have stadiums like Bursaspor.
