Hungarian sculptor has been commissioned to create a gigantic falcon sculpture for Atalanta Falcons’ new stadium
The new stadium will open in 2017. It will host two local clubs – the Falcons and the United football team. The owners have decided to erect the world’s largest bird sculpture in front of the new stadium.
They commissioned Hungarian Sculptor Gábor SzÅ‘ke to create the artwork; the “Ferencváros-eagle” statue facing the Groupama Arena in Budapest is also the work of Gábor SzÅ‘ke.
The artwork will be made in Budapest and the elements will be shipped to the United States in containers.

“Ferencváros-eagle” statue at Groupama Arena in Budapest is also the work of Gábor SzÅ‘ke.
The base of the sculpture will be made of concrete; the bird stands on a football, which made of bronze; the bird itself will be made of stainless steel elements.
