The stadium is located in the city of Tripoli, in the region of Peloponnese,
160 km south-west of Athens. You may also get there by train. The
stadium itself is located in the east part of Tripoli. If you drive
into the city from Athens, exit the motorway to "Tripoli"
and continue for 1.5 km until you reach a set of traffic lights. Turn
left towards "Sparti, Kalamata" and after 300m, just as
you pass by a police station, you will see a sign pointing left to
"Gipedo Astera" (meaning Asteras Stadium). Turn left, drive
over the train rails, and you will get to the stadium after about
1 km.

More
data: The stadium has today a totally different look than it had
before 2005. Up until then, only a small stand existed. The new owners
of Asteras Tripolis FC have invested large amounts of money in the
club and the first visible result was the transformation of their
stadium. The east stand (gate 1) was first constructed in 2005. It
seats 2,500 spectators and also houses the club offices, its museum,
a VIP lounge etc. Following the club's promotion to the Superleague
in 2007, the west (gate 3) and south (gate 4) stands were constructed.
Finally, the new north stand (gate 2) was built in 2008.
Plans for the future are even more ambitious, as they involve the construction of a whole sports complex in the area around the existing stadium. The project includes four football fields (two of which have already been constructed), basketball & tennis courts, a sports hostel and even a 4-star hotel. The center piece will be a brand new 13,000-seater stadium. For the time being, the field of this stadium (which lies just east of the existing one) has been constructed and is used as a training venue by Asteras. The stadium is owned by AGS Asteras Tripolis amateur club. |
