MANILA, Philippines – As if the Burj al Arab Hotel is not big enough of a spectacle for tennis aficionados, Dubai is taking it up a notch.
 
Polish architect Krystztof Kotala, the man behind the ambitious concept, is currently pitching the idea to investors as of posting time, per ArabianBusiness.com.
 
Forbes magazine also reported of the plan touted as the "combination of ecology, technology and sport," earlier this week. 
 
The stadium is proposed to house seven courts--each with a coral reef-adorned rooftop. 
 
Although nothing has been set in stone, news of such grand pitch have sent social media users abuzz.
 
Why? Just take a look at the renders for yourself:
