Stadium
Elisa Stadion
Vaasa, Finland
Formerly: Hietalahden jalkapallostadion, Elisa Stadion
The surface is not natural grass. It is an artificial pitch, laid down when the three old grandstands were pulled down to make way for the covered seating that defines the view today. The rain here does not turn the pitch into a bog, but the wind does.
The stadium fell silent once for a concert, when the attendance record was broken by a crowd of 11,200. The steel structure still holds the light.
