About this venue
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.

About the city: Bursa
Bursa, set between the Sea of Marmara and the slopes of Mount Uludağ, is a natural hub of experiences that blends sport, music, and a vibrant urban pulse. With a strong identity and a lively cultural scene, Bursa draws visitors who want more than the event itself—an authentic atmosphere, local flavors, and a city rhythm you can feel from the very first step.
Getting in and moving around is easy thanks to Bursa’s practical, well-organized transport network. The backbone is BursaRay (the city’s rapid rail system), supported by BurTram tram lines and bus routes linking key districts and major interchanges. If you fly in, Bursa Yenişehir Airport is the region’s main airport, while many overland arrivals use Bursa Şehirlerarası Otobüs Terminali. Traveling from Istanbul, the fast sea service BUDO to Mudanya offers a comfortable alternative, and continuing into the city is straightforward via local connections—ideal for reaching arenas and stadiums without hassle.
Before or after a concert or match, Bursa rewards curiosity with layers of history and places best enjoyed at an unhurried pace. Wander around the Ulu Cami and historic bazaars, stop by Koza Han for tea-scented ambiance and the feel of old trading Bursa, or head to Cumalıkızık to experience traditional architecture and a calmer tempo. For views and a nature break, Bursa Teleferik carries you toward Uludağ, where fresh air and panoramas neatly round out the day.
Staying in Bursa fits a wide range of budgets and travel styles—from central hotels near historic areas to comfortable options in quieter neighborhoods. The city is also known for its food—İskender kebap and chestnut-based sweets are frequent favorites—and for a tradition of thermal baths, perfect for unwinding after an intense evening. Taken together, Bursa is a destination where the event becomes just one, but important, part of a broader experience.
