"Great modern stadium, pity it was only half full"

Lille OCS Metropole v FC Des Girondins de Bordeaux (Ligue 1) 23rd August 2015
Superb modern stadium, looks great from the outside, better inside. Nil-nil draw, but an alright game. The roof was closed and the atmosphere was good, especially as it was only half full. It would be brilliant when the place was rocking.

Location

Easy to find ground. Easy to find free on-street parking. There are lots of restaurants etc. within a reasonable walk. No trouble getting away after the game.

View

Wide concourses inside and outside of the ground, wide stairways, wide seating with good leg room. Very clean and new. Perfect sightlines.

Facilities

Excellent, modern and in good numbers.
Excellent club shop.
No match programme.
If you reserve tickets and need to collect them, then you need to go to the correct box office, there are several. Then get in the right queue, which are all long. Then struggle for ages for them to find you on the system.

Food & Drink

Plenty of outlets, decent food at alright prices.

Police & Stewards

Hardly any Police seen. They have stewards acting as help points outside the ground, which was useful. Box office staff seemed to enjoy the long queues and did not seem to want to communicate with us. Stewards inside the ground were fine.

Atmosphere

Fine, but would be great with a full house, for a cup tie.
