What to expect

Noise: intense
Crowds: intense
Visual busyness: lively

Easy to leave early

Large stadium crowd with chanting, drums, PA announcements and goal-horn/music bursts; bright floodlights, dense concourse crowds at entry/half-time/exit.

Exit plan

Stadium exits are available at every block throughout the match via the concourse; choosing an aisle seat near a gangway makes it easy to leave at any point, including before the final whistle to avoid the exit crowd crush.
