TL;DR Good food but nothing exiting
Wanted to go there for a long time since I had nothing but excellent experience with Haim Cohen's food in the past.
Finally I got there with some friends, The place was full, we got a big table and a nice waiter.
The house bread was really really good but everything else was no more than ok.
I ordered the grilled Entrecote the waiter recommended on medium rare.
We asked for medium plus but we got medium rare and tried it but it was too much and we returned it for another round on the grill.
It wasn't good. A few days later I ate at Tosca in petach tikva and the steak there was much much better.
And it's true to all the dishes we got - the food is good but nothing special that can justify the price.
Parking is available in the building parking lot.

Accessibility:
The stadium is located in an old business area in Tel aviv.
There are main roads to get there but the police closes the roads around the stadium so it all became a big traffic jam.
It gets worse when you want to get out - try to find a parking spot that is further away and walk a few min it will be faster.
Parking:
There is a large parking lot at the east side of the stadium but it's too small for the stadium capacity and the entrance to it is being blocked by the police a long time before the game, so there is an almost empty parking lot you can't use.
There is a parking lot next to abu kabir but it's a 10 min walk and parking in the surrounding streets.
Entrance:
There are stands on all sides of the pitch.
There are multiple entrances on each size of the stadium, so there isn't a lot of line at the gates.
You need to climb 2 stories to get to the stands.
Sitting:
It is a new stadium and holds 29,000 seats on all 4 sides.
The seats are all folding and the spacing between the rows is wide
The stands are not steep.
Comfort:
There is no oof above the stands so you get wet when it rains. that is what you get for spending all the money on the VIP booths on the other side..
You have a great viewing point from all around the stadium and the stands are very close to the pitch.
They don't enforce no-smoking rules in the stands.
Hygiene:
There are many clean toilets in all the stands on the first floor but they are closed and not ventilated so it smells
There are also drinking water taps all around the floor.
Food and drinks:
The usual hotdog, coke and water, coffee, tea, popsicles... the regular high prices like in all Israel stadiums.
There is also pizza there.
The food area is ventilated so you don't have to breath all the cigarette smoke like in other stadiums.
Atmosphere:
Bloomfield has the best design of stands. They are close to the field and you can feel the crowd's intensity and feel part of the game when you are there.
Conclusion:
The newest stadium in israel. Great viewing points to the pitch.
Needs a roof and decent public transportation to get there.

Conclusion:
The newest stadium in israel. Great viewing points to the pitch.
Needs a roof and decent public transportation to get there.
Accessibility:
The stadium is located next to the train station and shares its parking lot
The police block the entrance when the parking lot starts to get full and then you have to park on the adjacent streets or on the side of the road next to it.
After the game the police control the intersection to allow more time for the parking lot to drain out.
Parking:
There is a big parking lot next to the stadium and you can also park on the streets across the road. or on the side of the road next to it.
Entrance:
There are several entrances to each part of the stand all are at street level and they are all open so the lines are not getting long.
Sitting:
It is a new stadium in Israel but it holds only 10,000 seats on two sides of the court.
The seats are of the folding type that you see in most new stadiums.
Spacing between the rows is ok but the aisles are a bit narrow..
Comfort:
There is a roof above the top stand and parts of the lower stand. great acoustics in the stand.
There is a great viewing point from the stands.
No enforcement of no smoking rules :(
Hygiene:
There are large clean toilets in all the stands, good work there.
Food and drinks:
Standard selection and prices as most stadiums

TL;DR Great seafood for a reasonable price.
We have been going to Goocha for many years now to celebrate birthdays and it never lets you down. The food there is always fresh tasty and the service is good.
This time it was adults only so it was even better ;)
We ordered:
Drinks:
- Sailor "G" that was nice.
- Citrus mojito - that was sweeter so I liked it more.
Starters:
- Calamari plancha - it was tasty but only 4 pieces of calamari in it.
- Garlic bread - it was excellent - It was hot and slices and the garlic butter was already buttered on each slice. We ordered another one.
- Hamachi sashimi - it was really good
Mains:
- Vegetarian Mokeka - was nice.
- Garlic & butter shrimps - was really good.
- Calamari & Shrimp red curry - was good
For dessert we took the Tiramisu that was nice
Prices are really reasonable and you can get 15% off if you order before 19:00 on a weekday
Parking is available on the adjacent parking lots it's TLV so it's expensive.
