Amsterdam ArenA Tours

The Ajax Arena

The home stadium of A.F.C. Ajax (Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax), the most famous Dutch soccer club, is impressive in its architecture. World of Ajax Tours have been organized especially to visit the ArenA stadium, which is located in South East suburb of the city.

Amsterdam most modern stadium

Arena serves not only as the home stadium of Ajax, but is also the biggest and most modern hall of the Dutch capital, where often important concerts and other mass events are organized. Like many modern stadiums, ArenA has a retractable roof, which can be opened when it does not rain. After its construction in 1996, the 51 thousand seats stadium appeared already too small and has been not always lucky for Ajax. There were also some problems with the natural grass pitch of the stadium – it had to be changed four times a year, as the grass did not grow well without a natural wind. Nowadays huge fan ventilators create artificial wind and additionally special grass seeds were developed, which grow better inside the stadium.
