Croatian first division side NK Rijeka have christened their new stadium against NK Lokomotiva in a HNL round 4 match on Sunday night.
The 5,000-seat Rujevica stadium was sold out on Sunday evening as the club played its first match at its new temporary base whilst their new Kantrida stadium is being built.
The Rujevica stadium, complete with four pitches, a mini-pitch, and a majestic view of the pristine Adriatic sea, could well be a front-runner in the ‘stadium with the best view’ awards. NK Rijeka will use the new stadium until Kantrida stadium is complete (mid 2016).
When they make the move to the new Kantrida stadium, Rujevica stadium will be used as part of the club’s Training Camp.

Novi Kantrida will make Maksimir look like a Chuck E. Cheese’s

If you enlarge the artist’s rendition photo above, you’ll see that they didn’t create a wall that seals the north side of the stadium, and used support posts and beams allowing for that cliff wall to be exposed behind the seating.
The only real change will be a roof that protect the fans sitting there from rain.
Awesome !
That is going to be one long line of traffic in and out of the Stadion.
I wonder how they can open up more lanes going in and out for matches?
I will be there in 2016 for krštenje !
Do you know if it’s still going to have that awesome view of the cliff behind it in plain view?
It looks a little bit better than the one in Zadar.
