The
stadium is located in Agrinio, a city 280 km west of Athens. In particular,
Panetolikos Stadium is in the north part of Agrinio, near the hospital.
Coming into the city from the south through the motorway (from Athens
and Antirrion), you will get to a roundabout where a sign points right
to the "Hospital". Follow all similar roadsigns through
Agrinio, making no diversions, until you get to the crossroad with
Vlachopoulou Street. You will there see a roadsign pointing right
to the "Hospital" and straight ahead to "Aghios Konstantinos".
Continue ahead and you will be outside the stadium after another 50m.

More
data: Panetolikos Stadium has two stands along the sides of the
pitch. It has been used as a football ground since 1930, however the
first stand (the small east one) was not constructed until the mid-'50s.
The main west stand was built in the 1970s. Unfortunately, in the
years that followed, little else happened to the stadium, which gradually
fell into disrepair.
This was the situation until 2005, when the new owners of the club
revealed their plans
for the complete reconstruction of the stadium.
Works commenced immediately and by the end of 2006 the following had been completed: replacement of the pitch, construction of a roof over the main west stand, refurbishment of all facilities below this stand (locker rooms, cafeteria, club offices, club shop), construction of new press booths and VIP boxes, installation of plastic seats on both stands, revamping of all public areas etc. What is more, in 2009, a new VIP section with 120 seats was constructed over the smaller east stand. The club's plans also involve the installation of floodlights and the building of a new south stand, something that will raise the ground's capacity to over 6,000. The stadium is owned by Panetolikos GFS amateur club. |
