The stadium is best reached by taking Shanghai Metro Line 3 or 8 to Hongkou Football Stadium station.
In leg 10 of The Amazing Race 16, teams faced the second roadblock in this stadium, the first of its kind in race history. They had to put together a giant 96-piece puzzle. When the puzzle was complete, they gave the puzzle to a group of fans who flipped the cards in order to reveal a seat number where they would find their next clue.
