The Cambuurstadion is a football stadium in the northern Dutch city ​​of Leeuwarden , the capital of the province of Friesland . It is part of the Cambuur Sports Park and has 10,250 covered seats.

history

The stadium in Leeuwarden was inaugurated on September 12, 1936. At that time, the Gemeentelijk Sportpark Cambuur had only one grandstand next to the playing field and parking spaces. This changed in 1949 when three more spectator tiers were built and the capacity increased to 14,000 seats. The venue received a floodlight system in 1961 ; the first game under floodlights was against PSV Eindhoven .

The next structural change took place in the stadium in 1980. The uncovered back gate was replaced by a covered standing room. The east grandstand on the long side gave way to a covered seating grandstand. Only the main stand remained of the original stadium. In 1995, the old main grandstand in the west was replaced by a covered new building with seats, and the north side behind the gate also got a covered grandstand. This brought the stadium in Leeuwarden a capacity of 13,500 spectators.

From 2003 to 2006, the red and white seats on the north and west stands were replaced by yellow and blue plastic seats. For many years SC Cambuur played on natural grass . After the space got worse and worse, it was decided to install a drainage system under the pitch. However, this did not remedy the problem and in 2005 an artificial turf field was relocated. After three years, the artificial green was exchanged for natural turf again after players complained about the pitch. Next to the stadium are four training fields and two ash pitches. The last changes in the stadium were made in 2009.

New building plans

Since 2009, SC Cambuur and the municipality of Leeuwarden have been planning to build a new stadium behind the WTC Expo event complex , which is part of the World Trade Center Leeuwarden . The building should initially have a capacity of 15,000 spectators. It will be possible to expand the stadium to 20,000 seats, if z. B. the SC Cambuur should be promoted to the first Dutch league . Completion was scheduled for 2013 and, in addition to the club's games, there should also be major events and concerts. The construction project would have cost at least 35 million euros.

The planning continued, but the construction project is being delayed more and more. In June 2017 a new design for the stadium area was presented. On a total area of ​​100,000 m² , 70,000 m² are intended for leisure and sport. In addition to the stadium, a geothermal power plant is also planned. This should cover the entire energy requirement. The costs have risen due to the power plant (25 million euros) and should be 72 million euros. The following month the city council approved the construction of the Nieuw Cambuurstadion , but construction work has not started to this day. In spring 2020 it should be completed by the end of 2021, then SC Cambuur could play in the new building from April 2022.
