Overview
- Outlets report a NEOM ‘Sky Stadium’ concept integrated into The Line smart city, suspended roughly 350 metres above ground with about 46,000 seats.
- The frequently shared renders and a concept video that went viral this week are not authentic, with reports saying they are AI‑generated or digitally altered.
- Coverage cites a tentative build window of 2027 to 2032 for the proposed venue, positioning it as part of Saudi plans to deliver new and refurbished stadiums.
- Official confirmation from Saudi authorities specific to an elevated design remains limited, and previously posted NEOM visuals differ from the viral footage.
- Public reaction highlights feasibility and safety questions, including crowd access—reportedly by high‑speed lifts—alongside broader plans after FIFA accepted Saudi hosting for 2034.
