 Amsterdam ArenA, home of AJC Ajax by Paul2001 I went to my very first European professional football (soccer) game in Amsterdam. I have travelled to Europe many times before but for some reason never took in a football game despite the fact that I am quite fond of the game. I was directed by the tourist office to where I could pick up tickets and found this to be quite easy. They cost me about $40.00US and to be honest they were not that good. However I did enjoy the game which Ajax won 2-0 against RBC. I also found the stadium, Amsterdam ArenA to be quite interesting. It was brand new and spotless clean. Supposedly the roof closes just like my own Skydome in Toronto. Also of interest is that the stadium is build well above the ground instead of into the ground as in the way most modern stadiums are built. I assume this is because of the marshy soil that surrounds Amsterdam. A good idea since it can get rather wet in Amsterdam. Too bad that McDonalds holds the consession rights.

 Ajax v Celtic. The Celtic fans fill the other end by RPW The Amsterdam ArenA is the official home of the famous Ajax Football Club in Amsterdam, its is however also used for a number of other things such as Nederlands National Soccer team ( Oranje), American football and music concerts, to probably name but a few. It's not too far from the centrum and is served by two train stations, Duivendrecht railway station is about 15 minutes from the Arena, whilst the Bijlmer station is only 5 minutes away ( This station was being renovated - not sure if it's all finished yet). The ArenA is an impressive place to watch sports, I visited it to see my team Celtic defeat Ajax in it during a champions league qualifier, the design is pretty stunning with what appears to be a highway going directly underneath the playing surface.

It was my friend Tony's 60th birthday and we (the two of us and our wives) were going to Amsterdam for a long weekend. Arsenal were playing in a pre-season tournament at the Ajax stadium along with Panathinaikos and River Plate. I treated my friend to a ticket for the Ajax v Arsenal game. We were staying in a new Ibis hotel, Amsterdam-Westcorner at Sloterdijk, just outside Amsterdam. Getting to the ground was easy, using the overground light railway straight to the ground without changes. Security going into the stadium was sensible and quick. Our biggest problem was getting to our seats, quite high up in the stadium... we were almost on our knees as we reached the top of the almost endless stairs. The atmosphere and entertainment within the stadium was excellent... lots of music and singing, and at half-time a radio-controlled balloon was flown over the terraces and dropped numbered ping-pong balls which the spectators could catch and use to claim a prize on the sponsor's website. There was also a compressed-air cannon that was pushed around the perimeter of the pitch and used to fire gifts into the crowd. The pitch itself is surrounded by a dry moat, so any balls kicked into the crowd stayed there as a gift for whoever was lucky enough to catch them. A nice ground with easy access and a good atmosphere, no feeling of being an outsider or feeling threatened - the only disappointment was a goalless draw! Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

 in de arena by Meadows11 Amsterdam Arena is definately worth checking out! I have been fortunate enough to see many great stadia along the lines of Camp Nou, Old Trafford, the old Wembley, Toronto Skydome, Le Stade De France and many others. The Amsterdam Arena ranks right up there with the best. We arrived at the complex on a Saturday, whilst the team were playing an away match. We took the tour around the stadium, but unfortunately the museum was closed. Never the less, it was a great experience, and the scale of the place was huge! The colouring of the seats left a little to be desired, but the tour guide was very informative and helpful, and even gave us all a CD of Ajax songs each. To be fair, the CD was rubbish, but they do say that it's the thought that counts! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

by Gili_S One of the finast and most exciting football clubs in Europe is Ajax Amsterdam. It is Ajax Amsterdam that brought us those wonderful players as Johan Cruyff, Marco Van Basten and many others.
