Roberto Melendez Metropolitan Stadium

We went to the Colombia vs Argentina soccer match. Entrance process horrible. We even made a queue to our area and when we got to the entrance they said the sign outside was wrong and had to you out again, walk around the stadium to find the correct entrance. We bought assigned seats (like everyone else) and after getting inside, the staff said (literally): find your own spot as nobody respects assigned seats. We ended up in a horrible spot after paying to be centered on the field, fourth row. The vending kiosks ran out of bottled water before the match started, they only sold beer. My wife doesn’t drink so it was pretty tough with the Barranquilla temperature of 43 Celsius. It is worth mentioning that people fainted by the dozens due to heat stroke and dehydration. I am not going again to that stadium. It is a disaster.

one of the best stadiums in south America and the best in Colombia hands down, the feeling is unreal, you feel welcomed and the people always cheering. LA CASA DE LA SELECCION!!

Great experience watching Junior beat Santa Marta 3-1. Nice being able to easily drink beer while watching the game. Everyone was friendly.

A lot of great moments in this stadium. If you can catch a local soccer match (Junior Barranquilla) do it!

I must say, I have been to several fútbol matches in Colombia and this was the most tame and organized that I have seen. A surprise from the Costeños which are known to be a little disorganized.

Great to experience a game at the national stadium. Shame there were no away fans.

A bucket list thing to do to go experience a South American football game. Atmosphere was electric!! I've never seen fans sing all match long.

Nice stadium but very dangerous neighborhood lots of thieves
