Attended the stade velodrome for Hungary v Iceland in Euro 2016, always wanted to go, wasn’t disappointed, fantastic stadium, seats were, I agree, cheap, backless plastic seats on concrete slabs, great atmosphere from 35000 Hungarians. Great view. Fantastic structure. Stopped in a hotel nearby and an hour after I sat outside having a beer many many thousands still streaming past!

I have recently attended a match against Touluse. I bought my ticket a day before The game in The ticket office at The stadium. 15 euro price weeks to be ok for The level of football both teams presented on The pitch. Beautifull both outside and inside! I found seats small but comfortable. It is hard to find anybody who speaks english around The stadium. You can take a backpack to The stadium! Free match programmes are available from around The ground. The stadium looked empty and i was very suprised to see an attendance of over 41000?! Olympique is going through a very difficult period and atmosphere was not The best. Two sets of fans behind both goals tried to sing but it was rather unipresive. I have always regarded fans from Marsyllie as top supporters buy they did not step up to The plate. There were no away fans! Overall Marseille is a great place to visit. Stadium is awesome and would go there again.

Very impressive looking from the outside and eye-catching design inside. However, it’s no wonder that some of the areas of seats are called ‘inferieur’! Small plastic seats/backs are set on concrete slabs: There is minimal seat room and no leg room as such as the seats in front are obviously set on the same raised concrete slab. I’m 5’10″tall and had to sit with bent legs. No one can get passed you and even when standing up, this is a difficult exercise. I suppose it’s how they get 60-odd thousand in! minimise comfort to get you nearer to the pitch. The design also seems to encourage people to walk over the seats to get into and out of their places hence seats are badly marked. I also thought that the journalists location was way too high/far from the pitch. They must need binoculars to see the players’ numbers.Enjoyed my visit for the recent Groningen Europa match and glad that only 9,000 attended!
