History and description

The stadium was named after the area it is located in. It is part of a larger sports complex including an indoor arena. The stadium is also used for concerts.

I saw the game today. Olimpija Ljubljana as the clearly better team did not come over a 2:2 against Gorica (and laid back twice). 14 away-fans could be happy. Stadium is nice and beer cheap (0,5 Union 3€) and there is bus 13 back to town at 22.34. Return is free with Stadium Ticket. Just watch out, it stops around the corner (not where it lets you out!).
Went to watch Olimpia against Gorica today. Ticket bought on The day directly from The stadium(10€). Attendance was very poor( about 800 and that includes around 40 away fans). I got to The stadium from city center by bus number 20. I had to walk back, because last bus leaves at 22:09. Quality of football and support was also not The best. Winning goal scored in 91st minute and a fan chasing assistan referee were The highlights of The game.
