Kadir Has Stadium, football stadium
Kadir Has Stadium is a football venue in Kayseri that holds approximately 33,000 spectators and opened in 2009. The modern facility features a steel roof covering all seating areas, dining options, and VIP areas to enhance the visitor experience.
The stadium opened in 2009, replacing an older venue built in 1964 that held around 26,500 fans. Since its inauguration, it has hosted international matches and underwent renovation in 2013 to meet FIFA U-20 World Cup standards.
The stadium is named after Kadir Has, a local businessman remembered for his charity and contributions to the community. On match days, you see team colors everywhere and notice how passionately local fans gather to support their teams and celebrate together.
The stadium is located about 5.5 kilometers (3.4 miles) west of the city center and is accessible by bus, shared taxi, or car. Parking is available for around 1,800 vehicles, and the local Kayseray train system stops nearby for convenient access.
The stadium's roof spans 222 meters (728 feet) and weighs over 600 tonnes, making it a striking architectural feature visible across the city. This steel structure protects spectators from rain and creates a comfortable environment regardless of weather conditions.
