Stadio Is Arenas, sports stadium in Quartu Sant'Elena, Sardinia, Italy
Stadio Is Arenas is a football stadium in Quartu Sant'Elena on Sardinia with capacity for over 16,000 spectators. The venue features steel structures with stands on all sides, a covered main stand, five tall floodlight towers, and a well-maintained natural grass field.
The stadium opened in 2012 after renovation and initially served as a temporary home for Cagliari Calcio when their regular stadium was unavailable. Following safety concerns during the first season, the teams relocated their home matches to other venues.
The stadium's simple steel structures and open layout reflect how the local community practices football with a focus on accessibility. The terraces and seating show a functional design where fans gather to share their passion for the game together.
The stadium is easily accessible from Cagliari by bus on route PF, which takes about ten minutes from the city center to the San Benedetto stop nearby. By car, follow the coastal road east from Cagliari, turn at a roundabout between lakes, and continue through Quartu Sant'Elena to Via Beethoven where the stadium is located.
The stadium was renovated in just five months and opened in 2012 with a modern HD megascreen and sky boxes for premium viewing experiences. This rapid transformation shows how quickly local venues can be upgraded to accommodate major clubs.
