history
The stadium in the southern Stratum district was built by the city of Eindhoven in the 1930s to give the football club FC Eindhoven a new home for its home games. It was inaugurated on September 9, 1934 with a game between FC and Ajax Amsterdam , which the hosts lost 8-2. A sports park was built around the stadium on Aalsterweg in the following decades, in which an indoor sports center and the fields of the Oranje Zwart and EMHC hockey clubs are located.
Originally the oval consisted of two stands on the west and south sides. The east stand was only built in 1997. Also in 1997 the stadium was named after the Dutch soccer player Jan Louwers , who played for FC Eindhoven between 1952 and 1955 and led the club to its only Dutch championship in 1954. Since the 2006/07 season, the four stands have been named after the former FC Eindhoven players Noud van Melis , Dick Snoek , Frans Tebak and Henk Bloemers .
