The grass goes down at the MMArena stadium

26 November 2010 - New contracts - France

Symbolizing the completion of the works, the grass for the pitch at the MMArena stadium, in the shape of 800 rolls of grass, each 12 m in length and 2 cm thick, arrived in Le Mans (north-western France) on 27 September, on board 23 articulated lorries. The MMArena stadium has been created within the framework of a concession contract, signed in 2008 by VINCI Concessions and the town of Le Mans, covering its design, financing and construction, and then operation and maintenance for a period of 35 years. It was built by Heulin, GTM Bretagne and Adim Ouest (VINCI Construction France) and Dodin Campenon Bernard (VINCI Construction), with the participation of HRC (Eurovia) and GT Iris, GT Praxis, GT Réseaux Sarthe and Axians Le Mans (VINCI Energies France Division, Energy business line).
It will be brought into service on 28 January 2011, for the start of the return matches of the French League 2 season.
