Two major earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş last month affected 11 provinces and tens of thousands of our citizens lost their lives under collapsed structures.
In the possible Marmara earthquake, which has been discussed for many years, the fate of the giant stadiums in Istanbul was also wondered.
Fenerbahce is the most risky stadium
Stadiums where tens of thousands of people watch the match together pose a security risk.
Earthquake expert Prof., who was a guest of 343 Digital YouTube channel. Dr. While evaluating the stadiums in Istanbul, Övgün Ahmet Ercan stated that Fenerbahçe Ülker Stadium is the most risky stadium:
Fenerbahçe Ülker Stadium is very bad in terms of earthquakes. In the 1999 earthquake, I said, ‘Let Fenerbahce people play their matches at Ali Sami Yen from now on’, I exaggerated this. Ali Şen called, he had just left the presidency. ‘Sir, why did you say that?’ he told me. ‘Your stadium is very bad. What are we going to do?’ When he said, ‘We need to make a study and decide,’ he said. When he said to me, ‘Do it now, teacher,’ I said to him, ‘The club has a head, if Aziz Yıldırım says we will do it’.
“Besiktas stadium could have been built in a different place”
Ercan, who gave the Beşiktaş stadium a ‘medium bad’ rating,
The river mouth is somewhere. A cut where there are usually loose units. They did it again in the same place. I never found it suitable. I don’t know how much they dug it, I don’t know if they put it on the bedrock or not. I think they took the green field down. If they put the stands on the bedrock, it’s fine. But the old grandstands remain where they are. There may be a reservation where the old Open was.
used the phrases.
‘Very solid’ comment for Galatasaray’s stadium
Övgün Ahmet Ercan said the following about Galatasaray’s stadium:
Very solid. Galatasaray was in Mecidiyeköy, Ali Sami Yen before, it was very solid there. Then they wanted to change the place, the new place they chose is also very solid.
