I've been to that stadium a few times for matches. One of them was vs England and it was a packed house.
But yes, that track is horrible. Even the packed house felt weird because of the bad design.
Communism crippled Croatia in many ways, and these block style stadiums with running tracks are one of the stubborn remnants that won't go away.
It sucks because Zagreb is such an awesome city architecture-wise. It definitely doesn't have the feel of a Soviet era communist city like many other European centers do.
Anyhow, 0-0 against Bayern already in the 13th minute can be considered a win itself.
