Saw Ateez here for the second time and nearly tinkled my pants! The venue is in a super…read moreconvenient, easy-to-access location. It's spacious, well-organized, and clearly built to handle huge crowds. Security was solid, and everything felt pretty well-managed overall. While I do think tickets can be on the pricier side, you definitely get what you pay for. Even though I Wasn't on the floor, my second-row seat was incredibly close, close enough some of the members interacted with me! All in all, I had an amazing experience and I would absolutely recommend this venue for concerts, sporting events, or whatever brings you here.

This stadium is so easy and convenient, located in Zurich a train ride away. We were here to see…read morethe Zurich Lions hockey team, one of which my cousin adores. It was so fun to watch Swiss fans go crazy for their team, as this is something we are very familiar with in the USA. However, we are not familiar with being able to eat a large bratwurst, served with mustard and a mini loaf of wonderful bread. The accommodations are great, food and drink areas ample, and the stadium is quite beautiful. Lots of great fans getting serious about their team and winning hockey! It was fun! I felt like one of the many Zurich fans, cheering and chanting, and getting rowdy right alongside them. Lots of fun and pretty reasonably priced. Oh wait, the tickets were free because my cousin paid for them!

It's a super giant stadium to hold plenty of fans, but on a…read morecold day, avoid the front of the stands. From the outside it doesn't look so big, 'cause into the ground the builders did dig! The bathrooms were large, and more or less clean too- handwashing water was ICE, but what ya gonna do? They had little food huts serving sausages and fries, and brought warm punch to the stands, what a surprise! For 30CHF, we saw a fun soccer game (but until the last minutes, it was kinda lame). The "hooligans" sit in the opposite corners of the field, and there are plenty of police to keep it from 'getting real.' It was a neat experience, probably more fun when it's hot. And a final warning: it's packed on transport to/from this spot!

My first time here was for the Madonna concert yesterday. It's actually quite a nice venue with…read moreeasy access via public transportation. I think they put extra trams in service just for the concert. Multiple lines to get in that moved fairly quickly, refreshments for sale all along the side and also on the main floor, and porta-potties on the main floor, too! They laid some kind of mat thing on the ground, so we weren't actually trampling on the grass. Going home after the concert was a bit of a mess, as thousands of people were lined up at the Letzigrund tram stop. But we just walked a few blocks to the next bus stop, so going home was still manageable.

I had a chance to visit St. Jakob-Park for the Eurovision Grand Final Public Viewing Show, and I…read morehad a great time! The organization of the event was very well done. The stadium is huge and actually way bigger than St. Jakobshalle, where Eurovision itself was held. The Public Viewing Show was completely sold out, and the stadium was packed! While entering the stadium and waiting in the long lines, many people joked, 'Who's even inside the arena if everyone is waiting to get into the stadium?' :-) The stadium's overall condition is good. It is noticeable that the whole venue is a bit dated, and it definitely needs a facelift to look nicer. Despite that, all areas were very clean. There are plenty of restrooms around the stadium with easy access from any section. There are also many food kiosks offering a good variety of snacks and drinks. Prices for food and drinks were mid-range, but actually reasonable compared to the generally high prices in Basel. Garbage bins were placed right by every section, which was a big plus. The seating and section numbering were well organized, so I found my seat without any problem. My seat was in Block Parkett C4, Row 16, and I had a very nice view of the whole stadium, specifically of the huge LED screen in the middle that broadcast the Eurovision Grand Final. The seat was moderately comfortable, definitely more spacious and better than the seats in St. Jakobshalle. I can absolutely recommend this specific section and row to anyone coming to the stadium to watch a game - the overall views are very clear. I'm not sure if the sound system was arranged specifically for the Eurovision Public Viewing, but the speakers worked flawlessly - the sound quality was outstanding throughout the stadium. The stadium is easy to reach from Basel or from Saint-Louis, France, where my hotel was right on the Swiss-French border. It's about 20 minutes by direct train, around 45 minutes on foot, or even faster with scooters and bikes using Basel's bike lanes; from my hotel in Saint-Louis an Uber ride took just 12 minutes and cost €15. Another highlight was the stadium's capacity to launch massive, spectacular fireworks - like the ones at the end of the Eurovision Grand Final. Overall, visiting St. Jakob-Park for the Eurovision Grand Final Public Viewing Show was an unforgettable experience that I truly enjoyed. I hope the venue will get a facelift and be further modernized in the future to host more high-tech events - maybe even another Eurovision someday, who knows? ;-)
