Stade Pierre-Mauroy seating?

Only a couple of years old – the biggest football stadium in France certainly pulls out all the stops. The seats are great, with good legroom and of course the sightlines from all the seats are fantastic, there isn’t a bad seat in the house. Despite being designed in the newer ‘bowl’ shape, the stadium does maintain 4 distinct stands – and thus where you sit, depends on what kind of experience you want.

As with a lot of grounds, the most vocal fans sit in the North Stand and the away fans are located opposite in the South East corner. Ticket prices fluctuate a lot – with seats behind the goals going for €20 although a great seat near the half way line can cost upwards of €50.

Stade Pierre-Mauroy is a big stadium with 50.083 seats. The stadium is quite new, it was opened in 2012. There are two main levels, the seats are plastic, but comfortable with nice view. The retractable roof is the only of its kind in France. It can close itself in around 30 minutes so don’t worry about bad weather.
