Metropolitano Stadium

The Metropolitano Stadium is a multi-purpose sports venue in San Blas-Canillejas, Madrid, serving as the home ground for a major football club. The arena holds 68,456 seats beneath a white roof made of fiberglass and polytetrafluoroethylene that spans the entire stand.

The stadium was originally built in 1994 for Madrid's bid to host the World Athletics Championships. After major renovations, the venue reopened in 2017 as the home ground for Atlético Madrid.

The Walk of Legends inside the complex displays plaques honoring players who appeared in over 100 official matches for Atlético Madrid. Fans passing through the stadium regularly pause to read the names and recall moments from past seasons.

The Estadio Metropolitano metro station on Line 7 brings visitors directly to the stadium, with several bus routes also stopping nearby. On match days, additional parking becomes available, though public transport often remains the quickest option.

Around 800 LED screens are distributed throughout the stadium, complemented by a digital ribbon board running 360 degrees around the stands. The system displays match information and replays during events, changing the experience for spectators in every section.
