Work has started on constructing the official 45,000-capacity UEFA EURO 2008™ fan zone in Zurich with three screens being erected to show matches.
Floating platform
The fan zone will offer public viewing facilities as well as a full culinary and cultural programme during the finals, with one of the highlights set to be the 1,600 metre squared platform which will house one of the giant screens on Lake Zurich itself. The 30-tonne screen will be one of the great engineering feats of the finals, floating 12 metres above the surface of the lake at its highest point.
