Peristeri Stadium, Multi-purpose sports stadium in Peristeri, Greece
Peristeri Stadium, also known as the Angelos Ramfos Municipal Stadium, is a football ground in Peristeri, in the western suburbs of Athens. It stands at the junction of Giannitson, Kresnas and Bizaniou streets, beside the Andreas Papandreou indoor hall. The pitch is natural grass and the seating capacity is 8,969.
Peristeri Stadium opened in 1947 on Easter Sunday, according to the club. Works in the 1970s replaced the dirt pitch with natural grass, inaugurated on 18 September 1977 in a match between Atromitos and Ethnikos Asteras. The ground was upgraded in 2003, a year before the Athens 2004 Olympics, and again in summer 2012 to meet UEFA specifications.
The ground is named after Angelos Ramfos, and its address is formed by Giannitson, Kresnas and Bizaniou streets, beside the Andreas Papandreou indoor hall. Atromitos has played here since the 1940s, and the club's return to the top division in 2005 tied the stadium's fortunes to the team's.
The closest metro station is Agios Antonios, which offers a direct connection to the stadium. Alternatively, bus route 821 operates from central Athens and provides access to the venue.
The ground's record attendance is 13,099, set on 11 January 1981 for an Atromitos match against Olympiacos. Earlier crowds were also large: 10,720 tickets were cut in 1973 for Atromitos-Rouf and 10,583 in 1979 for Atromitos-Korinthos.
