About Sports Illustrated Stadium
Sports Illustrated Stadium, in Harrison, New Jersey, was built specifically for soccer and opened in 2010 as Red Bull Arena. Its roof is partly transparent. The New York Red Bulls play here in Major League Soccer, and Gotham FC plays in the National Women's Soccer League. Across the Passaic River from Newark, the stadium sits at the water's edge in the Riverbend District, roughly 12 km (7 miles) to the west of Lower Manhattan.
A plan to build a soccer stadium in the New York area was announced during the 2000 season. On July 1, 2004, the MetroStars, as the Red Bulls were then known, announced they would leave Giants Stadium for Harrison. Transit links, interstate access, nearness to New York City and a long soccer tradition led to the choice of Harrison, and people have called the West Hudson County area the "Cradle of American Soccer". Groundbreaking took place on September 19, 2006. After Red Bull bought the team, it changed the original design, and Rossetti architects from Detroit completed the updated plans, which Hunter Roberts Construction Group built.
A curved shell of PTFE fiberglass fabric, held in tension, wraps around the whole two-tiered stadium and forms its distinctive roof. Starting at the last row of seats, the canopy extends 37 m (120 ft) to just beyond the field's touchlines, and 18 m (60 ft) of that span is translucent. Its area of 29,940.4 m2 (322,276 sq ft) makes it the largest roof canopy of any Major League Soccer stadium, and it covers all 25,000 seats.

- Thin overhanging roof edge
- The curved roof canopy overhangs the seating bowl with a thin edge. Print friendly adapts thin parts to your print scale; Full detail keeps every modeled feature, better for larger prints.
- Slim struts under the roof
- Thin struts run below the roof and around the outer wall. Layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep them crisp, and a larger print keeps more of them.
- One piece with the ground
- Sports Illustrated Stadium is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Sports Illustrated Stadium takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
About this model

Is there a Sports Illustrated Stadium STL I can download?
Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. Sports Illustrated Stadium grows with the print: about 9 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
Is it free?
