The stadium is ranked as an UEFA Elite stadium and is able to hold 30,201 people (Wikipedia).
The City and the Government paid for it 45 million euros plus another 800,000 for exterior equipment. For that money, the new stadium is fairly mentioned as the jewel on the Somesul Mic river banks.
The name comes from the city name, Cluj-Napoca, for those new o this blog.
Though it was late in the afternoon, there were so many people visiting the new investment that it was hart to get a picture of the stadium alone. It was dusk when I took this first shots, a north view of the stadium.

We hope it will last longer than the 230 million euro worth, new National Arena in Bucharest, opened last month, where the turf was completely ruined on the first held football match, in less than 10 minutes.

In the meantime it is pitch dark outside and black clouds are gathering on the sky.
Traffic is blocked by the crowd and by cars parked everywhere, so I decided to walk home. It was a good opportunity to try out my Nikon's night shot capabilities.
So, this is my way home, along the river. It was a beautiful, sunny, autumn day, still chilly because of the strong wind blowing all day long. The moon is up for the moment but those black clouds will cover it soon.
I took this picture from a bridge, the lights going till the next bridge, where I'm almost home.
