The Matchday Experience
Away fans
Away fans (Bortasupportrar) are housed within the greyed out sections R and Q as per the above seating plan with tickets costing 120 SEK. The visiting supporters can share this uncovered goal-end with the home supporters but more often than not have it to themselves.
Best Pubs
Club Shop
There are four IFK souvenir shops located more or less within every stand of Stadion Nya Parken. As they usually only open on matchdays you may wish to visit IFK Norrköping’s online store instead.
Stadium Tours
It doesn’t appear as if guided tours are available of either the wider Idrottsparken or specifically Nya Parken Stadion.

Matchday Travel
Nya Parken Stadium is located fairly centrally within Norrköping approximately 1.6 km west of the down town area.
The walk from the city centre will likely take Football Trippers anywhere between 10-20 minutes depending on your starting point.
Driving
The stadium’s address for satnav is as follows:
- Ektorpsgatan 1, 603 37 Norrköping, Sweden
Car Parks
There appears to be a few small parking areas at the stadium but nothing which suggests IFK Norrköping would actively encourage driving to the ground on matchday.
Train
Norrköping Centralstation forms part of the Southern Main Line which connects Katrineholm in the east to Malmö in the south-west. It’s just under 2.0 km from Nya Parken football stadium.

Airports and Flying
Norrköping Airport 5 km to the east of the city centre has a number of domestic and a limited number international flights each day. Upon landing you can catch a coach service into the city within 10-15 minutes.
Hotels
Whilst there a few accommodation options west of the stadium you can find similar value back within the city centre where the location is much better. Three well priced places to stay which are three stars appear to be the Best Western Princess Hotel, Hotell Drott and Hotel Centric.
