The ground is located on the south bank of the Rhine, east of the main medieval town centre. It is easily reached by tram and bus, and is close to major roads, too.
Away Supporters Information
The away supporters are housed in the corner of the stadium adjacent to the smaller of the two 'main stands'. Entrance is via Gate B.
The view in the picture below shows the sorts of views you can expect from the away end at St Jakob Park, and in the ground plan further below, the away sectors are marked B1 and B2, at the bottom left of the plan.
General Ground Information
St Jakob Park is the largest football stadium in Switzerland with a capacity that was extended to 42,500 for the 2008 European Championships, during which it hosted 6 games, including the opening match, as well as the semi-final between Germany and Turkey.
The stadium is nicknamed 'Joggeli' by the locals, and is a continuous bowl stadium with 4 stands.
Getting to the Ground (By Public Transport)
The simplest way to get to the stadium is by tram, using line no. 14. The number 36 bus also runs past the ground.
The stadium is located adjacent to the A2 main road, and is a fairly long walk from Basel's SBB (south train station). We'd definitely advise taking the tram, rather than a taxi. We've been told these will run up extortionate fares compared to the cheap and easy public transport, and trams also have right of way around town, so will likely be quicker than a taxi anyway!
