The stadium would also include state-of-the-art sporting facilities, two hotels, a leisure center, and commercial and business offices.
On 13 October 2008, the project was agreed upon by the French government, theGeneral Council of Rhône , theGrand Lyon ,SYTRAL , and the commune of Décines for construction with approximately€ 180 million of public money being used and between €60–80 million coming from theUrban Community of Lyon .[ 5] The project was hindered by slow administrative procedures, political interests, and various opposition groups who viewed the stadium as financially, ecologically, and socially wrong for the taxpayers and community of Décines. After landscaping in 2012, stadium construction started in summer 2013.
