First a skating rink, and now a McDonald's restaurant. Atlético de Madrid temple is making its presence felt this Christmas with new additions. The fast food chain promises "a unique experience" for Rojiblancos fans.

A new McDonald's at Atleti’s stadium

It is the second time in a short time that Estadio Metropolitano makes news for a non-sporting event. After setting up the viral skating rink on the pitch, Atletico Madrid inaugurated today a new McDonald's restaurant at its home. The club and the American franchise promise a unique experience for Atletico fans.

The restaurant, located at gate 39 of the red-and-white stadium, will create quality employment for 45 people and will cover, until March, an area of 580 m². In three months it will be expanded to provide an additional kitchen and digital counters facing the inside of the stadium on two levels of the stands.

The newly opened restaurant will, however, be open not only on match days, but all year round from noon to midnight.
