Rams Park, Football stadium in Sariyer, Turkey.
Rams Park is a football stadium in the Sarıyer district of Istanbul, holding more than 52,000 spectators. The structure follows high-tech architecture principles with continuous roof surfaces and glass facades that allow natural light inside.
The venue opened in January 2011, replacing the older Ali Sami Yen Stadium as the home of Galatasaray. Planning began in the early 2000s and took several years before construction started.
The venue carries a commercial name tied to a sponsor, though supporters often refer to it by the former Ali Sami Yen address. Inside, wall surfaces display the club colors of yellow and red, while banners and flags recall past triumphs.
The nearest metro station on the M2 line sits in the Huzur neighborhood and offers a direct link to the stadium. Visitors arriving by car will find several parking areas nearby, though they should expect heavier traffic on match days.
In April 2013, the stadium recorded an attendance of more than 52,000 during a match against Real Madrid. The roof covers all seating rows and protects visitors in any weather.
