Went last night to see Racing 92 v Munster at the U Arena...pretty good security to get in...great…read moregame...but this is about the stadium and to be Olympic stadium
Was well organised, American style with inner rings...plenty of loos, plenty of food & drink outlets, plenty of helpers, great transport connections, lockers outside to put excluded things in, clean...but...while you can drink champagne, wine, beer...and they even come round in the arena selling Heineken (ugh)...you can't get a coffee or tea anywhere inside (it was freezing outside, very warm inside, then the aircon came on and was drafty) we needed something hot...did I say Olympic stadium...needs a little rethink on that one
There are lots of restos all the way there too btw
But impressive place all round otherwise, great sound, screens, replays...holds 20-40,000 people depending on set up
Some spectators complaining about closed roof, AstroTurf, no weather conditions...but it was a good experience, very enjoyable...but of a change from Yves Le Manoir!
Go Racing!
