For a local, the venue is much more than the home ground of Athletic Club; it is the heart of the city, a temple of pilgrimage where history and modernity go hand in hand. If you are planning a visit, remember this: stepping inside will help you understand why in Bilbao we say we\u2019re unique in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From its original inauguration in <strong>1913<\/strong> to its current striking design, San Mam\u00e9s has evolved without losing the distinctive character that makes it so special. In this guide, will find everything you need to know to enjoy a perfect visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A brief history: from wood to titanium and glass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>first San Mam\u00e9s <\/strong>stadium was built in the <strong>neighbourhood of the same name<\/strong> over a century ago. It was a modest venue made of wood and metal, with a capacity of around <strong>23,000 spectators<\/strong>, but with an aura that even then intimidated rivals. After several renovations (most notably for the 1982 World Cup), <strong>the old stadium closed in 2013<\/strong> to make way for the new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>current stadium<\/strong>, which has won international awards, preserves the spirit of the <strong>original while embracing cutting-edge architecture<\/strong>. <strong>Designed<\/strong> by the<strong> IDOM studio<\/strong>, its <strong>glass-panel fa\u00e7ade and LED night lighting <\/strong>have become a recognisable feature of Bilbao\u2019s skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impressive technical facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those interested in figures, San Mam\u00e9s delivers on every level, combining excellence with proximity to the pitch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class='swing'><strong>San Mam\u00e9s capacity:<\/strong> <strong>53,289 spectators<\/strong>. Despite its size, the stands aredesigned to keep fans close to the action, so you can feel the players\u2019 enthusiasm(and they can feel yours).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class='swing'><strong>The pitch:<\/strong> a grass carpet measuring <strong>105 x 68 metres <\/strong>that meets UEFA standards and <strong>features a drainage and lighting smart system<\/strong> that keeps it in excellent condition, even during Bilbao\u2019s frequent drizzle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is San Mam\u00e9s and how to get there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can\u2019t miss it. The stadium is located right<strong> in the city centre<\/strong>, at the <strong>end of Licenciado Poza Street<\/strong>, an  area well known for pre-match socialising while having a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have just arrived in the city, you may want to check<a href=\"https:\/\/sanmames.athletic-club.eus\/en\/blog\/how-to-get-from-bilbao-airport-to-the-city-centre-and-san-mames\/\"><strong> how to get from Bilbao Airport to the city centre and San Mam\u00e9s<\/strong> <\/a>so you can drop off your luggage and start exploring. Once in the centre, you have several convenient options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class='swing'><strong>Metro:<\/strong> the fastest option. The \u201cSan Mam\u00e9s\u201d station <strong>(Lines 1 and 2)<\/strong> is directly outside the stadium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class='swing'><strong>Tram: <\/strong>a good choice if you are <strong>travelling along the river<\/strong>; the stop is next to the stadium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class='swing'><strong>Bus:<\/strong> Both <strong>Bilbobus<\/strong> and <strong>Bizkaibus <\/strong>public bus services stop nearby, and the stadium is adjacent to the main bus station (Intermodal).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to its central location, <strong>you can also walk from the Guggenheim Museum in around 15\u201320 minutes<\/strong>, enjoying a pleasant route along the Abandoibarra area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to buy tickets and enjoy the experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not limit your visit to the exterior. Its sheer magic is inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
