Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium

Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium is a sports facility in Zhengzhou featuring 26 sections, 34 exits, and a natural grass field designed for professional football matches and track and field competitions. The venue includes specialized seating zones for different visitor categories, with separate areas allocated for away supporters and student groups.

The facility was purchased by Henan Football Club in December 2009 for 118 million yuan, marking it as the first Chinese football club to own its home ground outright. This acquisition represented a significant shift in how Chinese clubs operated their stadiums, moving from state-controlled venues to privately owned facilities.

Section 19 of the stadium serves as the dedicated home for Henan Red Devils supporters, where fans gather with their own entrance customs and standing traditions.

The stadium is easily accessible by public transportation, including metro line 5 at Zhongyuan Pagoda Station and several bus routes connecting to the area. Visitors should be aware of the different entrance requirements for various sections to ensure smooth entry and exit.

The stadium features an intricate layout of member-only zones with exclusive access protocols that set it apart from standard facilities. This specialized organization of visitor spaces reflects an unusual approach to stadium management in China.
