Groundhopper's guide to..... Suwon Sports Complex | OneFootball

The VIP sections, media seats, tunnel, and dugouts are all in the west stand. This is the only spot in the entire stadium with roof cover (and even then it is minuscule). Tickets cost ₩30,000-50,000.

Opposite is the east stand which will usually be the busiest on match day as you're likely to see families and groups of schoolchildren. The view is decent even though you're still quite far from the field. Here you'll find the club's cheerleaders. Turning around, you have a near-perfect view of the baseball field next door. 2 games for the price of one. Nice. Tickets for the east stand cost ₩15,000.

The East Stand is normally busy for a big match.

A small home section on the north side is directly behind the goal line. Songs and chants largely originate from here, with their musical instruments and flags. Tickets cost ₩15,000.

Away fans are located behind the goals in the south stand. As in most other blocks, there is no shade and if you're down the front, the view of the field isn't especially appealing. Tickets here cost ₩15,000.

The away fans' section is a long way from the pitch.

Food:

The Suwon FC food trucks are located inside the stadium, next to the running track on the northwest side. Chicken and hotdogs are among the options. There is a small store with very long lines next to them selling ramen and other snacks.

Food trucks inside the stadium are located behind the north stand.

Drink:

Cass and Terra, in 330 ml can form, are ₩3,000 from the stores inside the stadium. The staff makes you pour them into paper or plastic cups and dispose of the cans there and then. Soft drinks, tea, and water are also available. A word of warning though: during the recent Suwon derby, some of the stores have one member of staff taking orders and fetching items from the fridges. Expect at least a 20-minute wait to be served.

Merchandise:

Suwon FC's neat color combination is likely to be popular with neutral fans. There's a small club store on the north side of the stadium and, from 2023, they are selling 20th-anniversary jerseys, flags, scarves, and other merchandise.

Post game:

The Suwon Hwaseong Fortress is a 20-minute walk from the stadium and a perfect place to go walking before or after a game. Suwon is also noted for its food culture so try some local galbi, which is considered the best ribs in the country.

If you're taking a train back post-game, there are several very busy pedestrian streets across from Suwon Station with an enormous array of food and drinking options. There are some great Indian restaurants in the area, too.
