Matthieu Deguili has spent several months designing and assembling a detailed 4,000-brick Lego model of the Stade de la Meinau, capturing the architectural layout of the venue. The 23-year-old supporter of RC Strasbourg Alsace built the intricate replica to mirror the updated configuration of the historic ground, which has undergone extensive renovations in anticipation of its official inauguration scheduled for the spring.
A 4,000-Brick Tribute to Strasbourg’s Historic Ground
As a member of the supporter group ABC – Allez les Bleus Champions, Deguili constructed the miniature arena to honor his home club and its newly modernized home. The finished model incorporates thousands of individual pieces to replicate the stands and pitch layout accurately.
The Path to Lego IDEAS and Commercial Evaluation
To transition from a fan project to an official retail product, the model requires substantial public backing on the manufacturer’s platform. Deguili submitted the design to Lego IDEAS, a digital space where enthusiasts propose new building sets for commercial evaluation by the Danish toy company.
The platform requires submissions to secure 10,000 community votes before the corporate entity will formally review a design for mass production.
Bridging the Gap to the 10,000-Vote Threshold
The creator’s next objective is bridging the gap to the 10,000-vote threshold through wider public engagement and support from the club’s fan base. Supporters of RC Strasbourg Alsace are being encouraged to register their support on the Lego platform to help push the initiative forward.
Because the club’s real-world stadium updates are drawing widespread attention ahead of the spring inauguration, organizers hope local enthusiasm will translate into online momentum for the brick-built tribute.
Global Distribution in the Balance
If the proposal successfully crosses the 10,000-vote mark, executives at Lego will officially consider manufacturing and distributing the Stade de la Meinau model worldwide.
Supporters can view the submission and cast their votes directly on the official Lego IDEAS portal.
