About RAMS Park
RAMS Park — long known as the Türk Telekom Stadium — holds around 52,000 and is the fortress of Galatasaray. The UltrAslan and the club’s loudest support fill the ends behind the goals, generating a famously hostile European-night atmosphere in the enclosed, trackless bowl. The main tribunes run down the sides with the halfway line and premium seating, and the two-tier design keeps fans close to the pitch. Best central views come from the main-side tribunes; the behind-goal ends are for the noise. The ground has carried several sponsorship names since opening in 2011.
A modern, football-only arena opened in 2011 as the Türk Telekom Arena in the Seyrantepe area on the European side of Istanbul. The two-tier bowl with its arching roof sits close to the pitch with no running track, and the enclosed design makes it one of the loudest grounds in Turkey.

Getting there
Transport
Metro line M2 has a dedicated Seyrantepe station right by the stadium, a short covered walk from the concourse; it links directly to the wider Istanbul metro network. There is on-site parking, but the metro is by far the easiest way in on matchdays.
The area
The stadium stands in Seyrantepe, in the Sarıyer district on Istanbul’s European side, near the TEM motorway and business and residential blocks. It is a modern, well-connected part of the city rather than a historic quarter.
