About this audio guide
This guide to Parc Olympique Lyonnais opens on January 9, 2016, when fifty-nine thousand fans learned a brand-new club anthem together for the first time inside a stadium shaped to trap and amplify their voices. It traces the roof built to fold sound back into the stands, and the day this same bowl hosted a World Cup final between the United States and the Netherlands. Watch for the roughly twenty flag bearers who sprint the touchlines before kickoff, carrying banners of long-gone Lyon teams.
