Olympisch Stadion

I went to the stadium to catch the Beerschot vs. Mons soccer game. Beerschot plays in the Jupiler Pro League, Belgium’s top division.
I must say that I was a little disappointed because this stadium was opened in 1920 for the Olympics held that year. Well the stadium has been refurbished and changed so many times that it looks nothing like it did in its glory days, unlike the Union St. Gilles Stadium (in Brussels) that was also built for those Olympics and has kept its look.
That said, it is still a pretty nice stadium although I felt that it lacked anything «special» about it. Today the stadium holds over 12,500 fans.
Getting there is easy — you can take the #2 or #6 tram from the front of the main train station, the one called Diamant.
