I’ve been a season ticket holder at this stadium ever since it opened; it is indeed quite a trek from the city center. Here’s my advice about getting there on public transit:

Unless you’re arriving directly by SNCF (even then really!), the best strategy is by no means the Parc OL shuttle from the Part-Dieu Station (which actually boards about 250m down the avenue).

Option 1 take the métro to Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie. There you get a similar Parc OL special to the same esplanade but it’s a lot less walking and crowds for boarding both before and after the match are much smaller. This solution is best if you’re staying close to métro lines A or B and/or have tickets in the north end of the stadium.

Or take metro line D to Grange Blanche, change to tram T5 to Eurexpo, from where there are free shuttle buses to the stadium – these leave every 20 or 30 SECONDS so loading is quick, and arrival point is more convenient for the south end.

Attended this new stadium, for the first of my five games at Euro 2016. Went to Stade Gerland in 1998 to watch Rovers in the UEFA cup. The new stadium is fantastic, bit of a palaver in the food queue as I was in the paying by card queue and it wasn’t so clearly marked. Fantastic views from my seat. Got on what I thought was a free shuttle service before the game but was actually the commute home and myself and thousands of Belgium fans had not paid! On the way home it was an hour until I got on a tram and many thousands more were still waiting, and it was tipping it down. Great day though.

Went to see this beauty in March. Very nice inside, but it was not finished outside at that time. Bought my ticket(against Guingamp) before the game for 27,5 Euros. Ticket office is located inside the club shop on the first floor. In order to get to the stadium you have to go through the club shop anyway-clever aren’t they? The stadium is massive and allow some time to get there, as security measures slow things down. There is a special tram that leaves from about 300 meters away from central station to the stadium. Journey takes about 30 minutes. The queue after the game was horrific. I spend over an hour to get into one of the trams. Overall very nice stadium with nice support. Having planned to attend Marseille game the same day I was expecting better atmosphere in Marseille. I was wrong. Lyon fans were really loud. Recommend!

The Stadium is fantastic with clear views all round and plenty of legroom around the seats, however the toilets are a real slow and badly planned experience. I left my seat at half time and missed 5 minutes of the second half whilst waiting?
