This roof is the only large span structure built with trusses of mixed materials, steel and hollow-core wood. The structure is a cylindric body formed by 200 triangular archtrusses 0.61 m in width and 2.29 m in height. The roof, with a 121.92 m span is supported by pyramid-shaped steel beams connected at their vertix, by means of pass-through bolts to a concrete beam. The erection method used was as follows: — first, a section constituting one-half of the arch-truss was constructed and put in place; — second, the second half of the archtruss was put in place; — third, the two halves were joined. The walls enclosing the stadium were built with wooden and steel vertical pilasters supporting plywood planks with a height varying from 6.09 to 31.39 m.
