From its dimensions, the stadium is more than roomy enough for a club that plays its home games before a nearly three-digit number of viewers, because it includes two lush stands on the sides, so that the lack of development behind the goals not go into further weight falls.[clarification needed] To be exact, will be released only heavily Raised grandstand for the games, where you can sit down to fifteen rows of green seat shells without backrests.[clarification needed] Within the main grandstand, specifically in the interior, there is a dressing room, and the cab from the club is little more than can follow the game. The opposite stands are built of wooden benches, are not accessible and it is probably better that way. A renovation is urgently needed because it makes a very worn-out impression. In the meantime, the opposite stands are temporarily used for advertising purposes, to set up a few billboards. Moreover, one can admire the character of the host club on the roof.
