The change was deemed necessary due to problems in the existing turf caused during the summer months. Instead of sowing again, PAOK administration decided to replace the turf and the first tier underneath, in order to revamp the playing field and get it ready for the high-profile domestic and international encounters ahead.

The chosen turf is of improved endurance to the climate conditions and will add to the quality of the venue infrastructure.

Meanwhile, there is work underway on the third floor, where the VIP seating area gets expanded to meet the increased needs of our fans.
