What other travelers are saying about Saitama Stadium 2002
Went there as an away fan. Good experience. Nice stadium, amazing environment next a river. Friendly ticket price.
Also, it’s rare to watch a 7 goals game, though it’s our team got battered. But we got battered wherever we go, hahaha be positive.
Also it’s good to see Daizen, Ito and Mitoma play in person!
Staff at the stadium were great and very patient with my limited Japanese. (Aus vs Jap football match)
Stadium entry was well organised and signed.
Walk from the station is over a kilometre which may be a problem for some people.
If you aren’t willing to wait an hour in very crowded conditions to get a return train I recommend leaving early or having an alternative return option. Food available was awful. Deep fried chips had been chilled before serving and the chicken skewers were also cold/room temp. This is my third trip to Japan and this is the only bad food experience I have had.
Amazing facility. A bit far from the city, but very convenient to reach. Has seating capacity of around 62,000 but doesn't feel that crowded. The stadium has thoughtfully been planned to accommodate easy movement of large crowds.
Please note that there are no dining facilities nearby. There is a convenience store at the station exit. Please stock yourself well.
Great stadium, one of the biggest in Asia. No need to bring water or snack, you can buy it out or inside the stadium.
It takes 20 minutes walk from the nearest station and the parking space is limited during matchday. Train or other public transportation would be wisest choices.
