Correct, but they care about hotel availability for the sponsors and their guests as well as thousands of UEFA staff.

On a related point I asked a Turkish guy if the game was at Gala or Fener grounds but its actually neither, its Besiktas.

What about Rome’s Olympic Stadium? Only thought of it from a selfish point of view as I’m already going to be in Rome that day!

When in Rome

I’d love it if this was moved as there is no way I’d set foot in Turkey again. I worked there on a large power generation project for 15 months in 2001/2, and have been scarred by the experience ever since. Horrible place once you move away from the holiday resorts (which I’ve heard are meant to be ok) although the people I encountered worked there in the summer months which means I’d never set foot in them either. I’m gutted it’s in Turkey so would welcome a move. Fingers crossed

Well as they will have prior knowledge before fans of new venue don't think them booking all available before anyone would be an issue :-)

It's not, it's at the ataturk stadium about 25km outside Istanbul centre.
