San Mamés Museum, Bilbao

Ref_5631
San Mamés is an all-seater football stadium which inaugurated in September 2013 and replaced the "old" San Mamés as the home of Athletic Bilbao. With a capacity of 53,331 seats, San Mamés is the 7th-largest stadium in Spain and the largest in the Basque Country.

In August 2017, Athletic opened its new club museum at the stadium. Among the prominent features of the museum is a stuffed lion (the club nickname) 'won' from the president of Deportivo Alavés in 1984 after he lost a bet with the Athletic directors that the club would not be able to repeat their 1982–83 La Liga win the following season.

If you love football, a tour of the stadium and the museum will brighten your day.
