Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu, football stadium
The Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu is a football venue in Cluj-Napoca featuring a rectangular layout with green surroundings and multiple seating sections. The facility includes covered stands, business lounges, and a Sky Lounge that can hold around 200 people.
The stadium opened in 1973 with capacity for around 10,000 spectators and served as the home for local football matches. In 2008, it underwent major renovation that expanded the capacity to over 23,000 seats with new stands and modern lighting for evening matches.
The stadium honors Dr. Constantin Rădulescu through its name, recognizing his role as a player, coach, and physician who shaped the club's development. The place reflects how the local community treasures its sports figures and keeps their memory alive through everyday use.
The stadium sits north of Cluj-Napoca's center and is easy to reach on foot, about 15 minutes from the city center or a short walk from the train station. On match days, many fans arrive by public transport or walk from nearby hotels and accommodations.
The stadium hosted Romania's national team for significant matches, most notably in 2008 when the country's national team played a home match in Cluj for the first time in over 80 years. This rare occasion made it a memorable place for local residents.
