Resumo

The paper describes the importance of wind tunnel testing of scale models to determine wind pressure and air flow distribution on and around major stadium complexes. The effects of wind on major grandstands is considered from a static, dynamic and environmental viewpoint. Examples are given of typical results from the wind tunnel tests for the roof of the East Stand at Murrayfield Stadium. Edinburgh, and for the playing surface at Ibrox Park, Glasgow.
