Ataturk Spor Kompleksi Matli Stadyumu is a modern, large-capacity stadium in Bursa, instantly recognizable for its bold “crocodile-inspired” roofline and multi-tier stands that shape a tight, arena-like bowl. With around 43,361 seats, it’s built for high-profile football nights and major live events, and it’s still widely referred to by earlier nicknames such as Timsah Arena / Timsah Park.
Inside, the experience is defined by all-seater stands, strong stadium lighting, and clear sightlines, supported by practical amenities that keep event days smooth—organized entry zones, controlled crowd flows, food and drink options, and areas designed for visitors with reduced mobility. When the stands fill up, the atmosphere turns loud and focused, especially during derby matches and big concert productions.
You’ll find the venue at Dikkaldırım, Hayran Cd. No:4 D:4, Bursa, Turkey. The easiest approach is to head toward the entrance points along Hayran Cd.; many visitors rely on on-site parking, while public transport often means taking city buses to the Dikkaldırım stop and walking a short distance to the gates.
