(pronounced "mestaya") While it is just a stadium for everyone else, for the football fans Mestalla is a legendary home to the legendary team and many of those who travel to Valencia choose to come over to have a look, especially since it is not far from the city centre. The 55000 seats stadium comes across as quite a feat considering it was built in 1923. It might be of even more pressing interest to the football fans to see this veteran some time soon - there is currently talk of demolishing the stadium and building apartment blocks on the site to cover Valencia Football Club's debts. Naturally, the club will move to a new, even bigger, stadium (70000 seats) but that one won't have 80 years of football under its belt. The Club has a website with an option in English, where you can see match timetables and prices. The tickets can be bought at the stadium in the hours indicated on the right, usually a few days before the match. Alternatively you can visit the Official Store of VCF on Calle Pintor Sorolla, 25 ( Paginas Amarillas) in the city centre.
