Fortuna Arena, Football stadium in Vršovice, Czech Republic
The Fortuna Arena is a football stadium in Vršovice, a residential district in Prague 10. The building consists of four enclosed stands with red seating and a continuous roof that shelters spectators from rain and creates a tight acoustic environment.
The old stadium structure from the 1950s was demolished in 2006 to make room for a modern venue that opened in May 2008. The new facility replaced the wooden and concrete terraces with a contemporary construction featuring an enclosed roof.
The grounds carry the nickname Eden, still used by fans in everyday conversation and recalling the old stadium name from before the changing sponsors arrived. On match days, supporters in red and white colors stream through Vršovice, turning the streets into a sea of jerseys and chants.
Getting there works best using the tram or commuter rail to the Eden stop, which sits directly beside the stadium. On match days, arriving early helps because the surrounding streets become busy before kickoff and entrances fill up quickly.
The pitch is maintained by an underground heating system that allows matches in winter and protects the ground from freezing during cold snaps. Around the playing surface run athletics tracks that often serve as extra stage or setup space during concerts.
