Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Bursaspor | Opening: 2015 | Capacity: 43,331 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

The Timsah Arena is the recently opened new\u00a0stadium of Bursaspor. It has replaced Bursa’s Atat\u00fcrk Stadium as Bursaspor’s home ground.<\/p>\n

Construction of the Timsah Arena began in the summer of 2011. Works initially progressed quickly, however the pace of construction significantly slowed down in 2013 and completion was pushed back to 2015.<\/p>\n

The most remarkable aspect of the stadium is its green roof in the form of a crocodile, which includes the head sticking out on one side. Timsah means crocodile in Turkish.<\/p>\n

The Timsah Arena officially opened on 21 December 2015 with a testimonial match between a team of celebrities and one with local players.<\/p>\n

How to get to the Timsah Arena<\/h3>\n

The Timsah Arena is\u00a0located in the north-west of Bursa at about 5 kilometres from the city centre.<\/p>\n

The stadium lies\u00a0a short walk away from Acemler metro station. Bursa’s BursaRay metro system consists of two lines that run on the same track between central Bursa and Acemler (and only split further west) so one can take any train in central Bursa running west.<\/p>\n
