Since then, though, many improvements have been made, such as the adding of more seats in the stadium. It is situated 1,5km off the city centre. It was built in 1925 by members of music and gymnastics association Megas Alexandros.Record attendance is 10,135 for a game between Veria FC and Doxa Dramas in 1970.
