About Estadio Benito Villamarín
The Benito Villamarín holds around 60,721 and is arranged around the huge three-tier Gol Sur behind the south goal, with the Preferencia (main west side), Tribuna, and Gol Norte / Fondo completing the bowl. The Gol Sur is where the most fervent Betis support — including the Supporters Gol Sur — is concentrated. The best views are from the central Preferencia; away fans are placed high in a corner. The ground is one of Spain's largest all-seaters and known for a genuinely raucous home crowd.
A large, green-tinged bowl dominated by the vast three-tier Gol Sur, one of the biggest single stands in Spanish football, which towers over the south end. The passionate, green-and-white Betis support fills it with colour and noise, and ongoing redevelopment continues to modernise the ground while keeping its intense home atmosphere.

Getting there
Transport
There is no metro station directly at the ground; the closest Metro Line 1 stops are a longer walk or a bus/tram connection away, and many fans use the city bus routes along Avenida de la Palmera or drive. Match-day parking around Heliópolis is limited, so buses and taxis are the common choice.
The area
The stadium sits in the Heliópolis district in southern Seville, along the leafy Avenida de la Palmera and close to the María Luisa park and the river. It is a pleasant, spread-out area rather than a dense bar quarter, with fan bars scattered nearby.
