How have architects made sure the stadiums stay cool? And how are all of those air-conditioning units going to work? Written by David Goldblatt, illustrated by Henry Cooke.

  1. I’m so glad I’ve been in Mexico and I know what these numbers mean, otherwise I’d be looking up the conversion’s, I don’t know the exact number but I have a general idea of what is hot/ super hot

  2. People trust me you are gonna freeze to death in there because of all the air conditioning I have been there in the FIFA Arab cup which was also held in winter

  3. Tbh those temperatures really aren’t even that warm. Gurantee we get headline talking about how cold it is in stadiums. If anything could be bad if players trains hours during the day on open fields in direct sunlight then play in much cooler conditions. Like going into the shade when on holiday….it’s suddenly freezing which ain’t great for the body of an athlete.

  4. if you look on Google Earth the stadiums are oriented with the long sides bearing north-south instead? unlike the illustration here. Does that change the shading effect?
