The Turner Stadium (Hebrew: אצטדיון טרנר), officially the Yaakov Turner Toto Stadium Beer-Sheva (Hebrew: אצטדיון טוטו באר שבע ע"ש יעקב טרנר) is a football stadium in Be'er Sheva and the home ground of Hapoel Be'er Sheva. It was named after former Be'er Sheva mayor Yaakov Turner.[1]
The stadium has an all-seated capacity of 16,126 seats, with the southern stand named after Arthur Vasermil, for whom the club's previous Vasermil Stadium was named.[1] and is a part of a sports complex which also includes the multi-purpose 3,000-seat Conch Arena, a training field and a swimming pool.
History
The stadium opened during the early stages of the 2015–16 season, with the club selling a record 12,000 season tickets.[1] However, as it was not ready for the start of the season, Hapoel were forced to play their first home match at the Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem.[2] The first match at the ground was played on 21 September 2015, a 0–0 draw with Maccabi Haifa.[3]
