Helsinki Sports & Outdoors Tips by Henrik_rrb

The football-stadium

The second football-stadium of Helsinki, where the biggest team of the city, HJK Helsinki, is playing.
The Finnair Stadium is not the biggest one I’ve seen, but still really nice. Takes around 15-20 000 spectators I would guess.
When I was there it was far from sold out, maybe 3-4000, but still a good game. HJK against KooTeePee. The homesupporters were around 50 persons, while the awaysupport was standing in the curva, around 25 persons.
I would guess that the name of the stadium is from one of the sponsors, the aeroplane-company with the same name.

Equipment: Well, nothing special. A blue-white flag or scarf if you really want to support the hometeam, but most people in the crowd went there "civil".

Directions: Close to the Olympic Stadium.
