Writer's Review

The energy level in this 5,000 seating capacity stadium is a beautiful thing to experience. Prior to matches, a DJ entertains spectators with lively loud music. The cheers and chants during the match is sure to sound round the surrounding neighborhood. For first-timers, it will be better for you to get into the stadium early if you want to sit in the covered stand, and also keep your tickets for the raffle draws which might earn you some good prizes if your ticket numbers are picked.
