The stadiums of the present and the future will spend 60 hours to more than 8,000 hours of use per year 365 days a year. Epigea, the patented and designed engineering solution to transform the stadiums into multifunctional spaces, maximizing their profitability and multiplying their possibilities of use and exploitation, already changes the life of the stadiums and increases the income of the owners of sports institutions.
The Santiago Bernabéu stadium already implements with its hypogeo the exploitation of the stadium.
Now, “luxury is democratized” and with Epigea, created by the Spanish company Sener, options are opened to all types of stages, different ages and sizes. A modulable and adjustable alternative to the needs and capabilities of any team or city.
Why do new stadiums study in construction and also the most traditional develop this technology? The answer is in the mass growth of live events. Infrastructures enter the game.
The concerts changed the world map. In 2024, live music in Spain registered a record turnover of 725.61 million euros only for ticket sale, 25.3% more compared to 2023, according to the year for live music.
The average price of these tickets in Spain reached 84 euros. And the impact on the Spanish economy – tourism, hospitality and transportation – was 5,314 million euros in 2024 indicates a Sympathy for the Lawyer (SFTL) and Incentive Music report.
With these parameters, Zertior, a company specialized in the sports and entertainment industry, through its CEO, Raúl supports, it tells Efe that this innovation “provides a business solution to the clubs. It is a modulable solution and adaptable to your true demand. If your city and competition and business model allows you to have an enclosure of 15,000 spectators, this system allows this solution. The grass, covers. ”
Jorge Vizcaya is an architect and expert in large industrial and sports complexes. It is one of the more than 4,000 SERE employees, a private engineering and technology group founded in 1956 with a presence on the five continents.
The architect highlights one of the great strengths of this solution: clubs can continue to play their games in the stadiums during the work. With a plan and closed dates that last for a season. “The teams do not want or cannot move from one stadium to another. In the space between one season and the next we accelerate the massive civil work. During the season we would finish the work and at the end of the season we would conclude it. We started in May. We will continue working without closing the stadium or a game. There would be a background of the stadium that would see their capacity worthy due to the works,” he explains to Efe.

Real Madrid was a market catalyst. His avant -garde hypogeo revolutionized the landscape of stadiums worldwide. And it is that the consumption, the habits of young people and Z -generation -born in the mid -1990s and the beginning of 2010 -are committed to living live experiences, in large and safe stages.
Sources of this environment ensure that in the United Kingdom or France the number of discos or rooms of 1,000 people are falling; However, they increase, but the enclosures of 15,000 people; because they are usually better conditions.
Juan Francisco Paz leads the business development of architecture, health and sports in Sener. Being an engineering and technology solution firm in Aerospace and Defense, Mobility and Infrastructure, Data Center Design and Digital Solutions, they have a knowledge that distributes to their projects. Among them, design and manufacture three key subsystems for the correct landing of the Rér – Vehicle for Space Exploration – on Mars. O Study the behavior of the aircraft carriers, for example, when the retractable trays of the Bernabéu were designed.
Or also the research and analysis of the possibility of seeing the lawn with consultations with a Prairie professor from the Idaho University. Juan Francisco Paz highlights in addition to the Epigea project “is friendlier with the city. With the lid we get a lot to the street level and gives you great accessibility to the different areas: bathrooms, restoration …”. Operational sustainability is superior.
The proposed design guarantees total accessibility from the outside, aligning the surface with the perimeter accesses of the stadium. This allows fluid circulation for all audiences to essential services such as food areas, health and other common spaces. In addition, it facilitates the access of logistics and assembly vehicles, without interfering with the auxiliary areas of the field, ensuring an integral operation and without interruptions.
The engineering work guarantees the highest quality of the grass by installing a mobile and retractable cover that allows the celebration of events beyond the sports field. In this way, it protects the grass, keeping it in perfect condition with a minimal human intervention.
