This stadium is not far from my house, just about 300m to the north. I often go there whenever there are activities which interest me. People usually come there to encourage and support sporting events, especially for Vietnamese teams as well as enjoy entertainment activities.

My Dinh stadium is very important to not only for Hanoi City but also for the whole country due to its irreplaceable functions.
