Stadion

The Aarhus GF plays its home games in the stadium and offers 19,433 covered seats. Up to 50,000 people can enter the stadium for concerts and the playing area can be heated . After Telia Parken and Brøndby Stadium , Ceres Park is the third largest stadium in Denmark. The Ceres Arena will u. a. used by the handball team Århus Håndbold .

The original Århus Idrætspark ( German  Århus Sportpark ) was designed by the architect Axel Høeg-Hansen. The complex was inaugurated on June 5, 1920, in the presence of King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine . One of the halls burned down during World War II and was rebuilt in 1947 and reopened under the name Nye Stadionhal .

In 1993 the facility was renovated and a sports hotel and offices were added. A major renovation then took place in 2001. The stadium was completely renewed and the multi-purpose hall NRGi Arena was built. The cost was DKK 240 million (around € 32.2 million ).

The stadium was one of the four Danish venues for the 2011 European Under-21 Football Championship .

In autumn 2006, the stadium was named after the energy supply company NRGi. After nine years, the company terminated the sponsorship agreement on naming rights in the summer of 2015 .

At the beginning of July 2015, the Danish brewery Ceres bought the naming rights to the plant. For the 2015/16 season, the NRGi Park became the Ceres Park and the hall bears the name Ceres Arena.
