The
stadium is in Evosmos, a district of Thessaloniki (which has an international
airport). Evosmos lies west from the city centre. To get there by
car, use the Ring Road, exiting at the junction signposted
"Evosmos". Drive along Meandrou Street for 800m and then
turn left at the traffic lights into Megalou Alexandrou Street. Go
on for another 400m and turn right into 28th of October Street. You
will see the stadium on your right after 200m. Since all this may
be a bit confusing for someone not familiar with the city, your safest
bet for getting to this stadium is to use bus #21. Board
it in the Thessaloniki city centre (Aristotelous Street) and get off
at "Gymnasio" stop, right outside Evosmos Stadium.

More
data: Evosmos Stadium is located in a densely populated area.
It only has two stands (west and south), since it is surrounded by
a wall on its other two sides. Both existing stands were constructed
in 1994. The stadium became an all-seater in 2002.
Evosmos Stadium is, at least in our opinion, the leading candidate to win the competition for the "Worst Football Ground of the 2nd Division" (Korydallos Stadium comes a close second)! The construction of a new stadium, a few km north of the current location, would be a solution to this problem for Agrotikos Asteras FC. The plans involve a stadium with an athletics track around the pitch and one grandstand holding about 4,000 spectators. Unfortunately, despite repeated relevant announcements by State officials, only the earthworks at the new stadium's site have been completed. The project is budgeted at around € 6 million, but the necessary funds have still to be secured by the Municipality of Evosmos. The existing stadium is owned by amateur sports club PMAS Agrotikos Asteras. |
