陕西省体育场

Shaanxi Provincial Stadium stands at 14 Chang'an North Road in Beilin District, wedged between Chang'an North Road and Zhuque Avenue beside the Chang'an interchange of the South Second Ring. Its proximity to Zhuque Avenue gives it the nickname Zhuque Stadium, while fans call it the Holy Zhuque. Completed in December 1952 as the North-west People's Stadium and renamed the Shaanxi People's Stadium in 1971, it opened officially on 1 July 1954 and is the oldest public stadium in Xi'an. In 1996 the province invested 250 million yuan to rebuild it for the fourth National City Games; the new structure opened in 1999 with 97,000 sqm of floor area, an elliptical reinforced-concrete frame and stands divided into sections A to H around a synthetic track meeting IAAF requirements and a standard grass pitch. A further renovation completed in July 2020 reduced capacity from 50,100 to 42,383. The ground has long been one of the fixed home venues of the Chinese national football team and has hosted Shaanxi Guoli, Chanba and Chang'an Athletic, as well as women's football at the 14th National Games in 2021. An exhibition centre, large car parks, offices and fitness areas surround it. Metro Line 2 stops at Stadium station at the gate. The 2020 renovation was carried out for the 14th National Games, at which the stadium staged the women's football tournament; outside match days it serves athletics training, fitness runs and large-scale events. The ground is owned by the Shaanxi provincial government and managed by the Xi'an Zhuque Square administration committee.
