西安市人民体育场

Xi'an People's Stadium occupies No. 26 Xiwu Road in Xincheng district, Xi'an, at the southwestern corner of the Xiwu Road and Shangde Road junction next to Revolution Park, and is the only large comprehensive stadium inside the old city wall. Built in October 1952 on the site of the former Revolution Park ground, it was once the largest multi-sport stadium in northwest China and its stands hold close to 20,000 spectators, about 18,000 seats. It hosted the 1953 Northwest regional athletics, sports and cycling games and later hosted top-flight league football, carrying several generations of city memory. Because the running track had not been resurfaced since 1998 and the facilities had aged, a renovation began in August 2024 under a keep, repair, demolish and build strategy: most original structures were retained, including the old spectator stands and the landmark north gate, building structures were tested and strengthened, the track was fully rebuilt, a dangerous training hall, an outdoor pool and an ageing indoor pool were removed, and a new swimming hall with eight 50 m lanes was added, covering 5,175 sqm. The 139-mu site now carries 65,226.59 sqm of renovated and new floor area, and the stadium reopened on 10 January 2025 as an all-age sports complex. Outside are caged ball courts, smart fitness zones, table tennis and health and rehabilitation areas, a frisbee zone and a gateball area, linked by a 920 m long, 3 m wide smart walking loop; the sports hall supports tennis, badminton, table tennis and more than ten other activities. Xi'an City Investment Group operates the venue, and Wulukou station on Metro Lines 1 and 4 is within walking distance.
