 washingtonpost.com: A Return to Reason
As the Iraqis advanced to the Olympic quarterfinals with a 2-0 victory over Costa Rica at Karaiskaki Stadium, they seemed a balm for the problems of their occupied and war-fractured yet prideful country.
Iraqi partisans made up the vast majority of the 12,183 in Karaiskaki Stadium, and they began lining up at the gates two hours before the game, sustaining a joyous constant chant of "Iraq, Iraq, Iraq." They passed out flags, shared mass hugs, shook beer bottles and sprayed themselves with foam.
Provoked by an unpopular decision from the referee, they pelted the field with bottles, and generally had to be quelled every few minutes by stadium security, which seemed reluctant to ruin their good time.

The stadium deserves the highest 5 star rating, but the only reason it is not awarded 5 stars is merely because of it's capacity.
I just wouldn't expect it to be up the top with stadiums such as the Maracana which has the largest capacity in the world, and the Millennium Stadium in Cardif which is big and has the technology of closing the roof.
The stadium has made alot of these little changes and everyday it is looking more and more like this stadium BELONGS to Olympiakos from inside and more so from the OUTSIDE.

No surprise, then, that the bright-red plastic seats of the brand-new Karaiskaki Stadium—which is across the metro tracks from the volleyball arena, the equally state-of-the-art Peace and Friendship Stadium—were barely a third full for the first-round match between Iraq and Costa Rica.
In Iraq, under the old regime, fedayeen militiamen and other fanatics used to cry, “My soul and blood I sacrifice for you, O Saddam!” The soccer fans changed only the last word: their souls and blood would be sacrificed for Iraq.
The stadium announcer pleaded for order in Greek, French, and English, but the hapless Olympic security officials and the unusually tolerant Athens cops were no match for the Iraqi immigrants, who, far from a home that had never treated them well, were losing control of passions that were clearly inspired by more than soccer.
