Yizhong Sports Center, Multi-purpose stadium in Qingdao, China
Yizhong Sports Center is a multi-purpose stadium in Qingdao designed with approximately 45,000 seats arranged across multiple levels. The venue features modern facilities and accommodates football matches, athletics competitions, and other sporting events.
The stadium opened in 1999 after construction started in 1996 under its original name Etsong Sports Center Stadium. Major renovations were completed following a management transition in 2008 that upgraded the venue's infrastructure significantly.
The stadium's name changed from Etsong to Conson after the Qingdao Conson Development Group took over in 2008. It is currently the home ground of Qingdao Huanghai Football Club, and its predecessor hosted Qingdao Etsong Hainiu and Qingdao Hailifeng.
Multiple entry points make it easy to access the stadium, and designated parking areas are available for visitors. Arriving early on event days helps avoid congestion during peak arrival times.
The stadium sat unused from 2006, when it was abandoned over safety problems including the lack of a completion inspection, until Qingdao Conson Development Group took it over in July 2008. Renovation work was accepted in October 2013, and the ground now hosts Qingdao Huanghai FC.
