Teddy Stadium
The Teddy Stadium is a football stadium in Jerusalem. It is named for long-time Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek who was in office during the time of its construction and was one of its prominent advocates. Two football teams currently use the stadium, Beitar Jerusalem FC and Hapoel Jerusalem FC. For Beitar Jerusalem FC, the stadium was a blessing after years of playing at the YMCA Stadium, which was better known as the Sandbox because of the large amounts of sand around the pitch. This often caused some odd goals and a difficulty for visiting sides.
