The Minami-Nagano Sports Park Stadium ( Japanese 南 長野 運動 公園 総 合 球技 場 , Minami-Nagano Undō Kōen Sōgō Kyūgijō , dt. "Sports park and combined ball sports field South Nagano"), nicknamed Nagano U Stadium since November 2016 , is a football stadium in the Japanese city of Nagano , the capital of the prefecture of the same name . It is the home of the AC Nagano Parceiro football club , which currently plays in the J3 League , the third highest league in the country. The club's women's team, the AC Nagano Parceiro Ladies , who have been competing in the first-class Nadeshiko League Division 1 since 2016 , is also at home in the sports facility with 15,491 seats. The stadium is located in close proximity to east of the Olympic Stadium Nagano , which as a ballpark was designed.
history
The previous stadium in the Minami-Nagano Sports Park was opened in 2002 with 6,000 uncovered seats, of which only a few were seated. In January 2013, after a long discussion, it was decided to introduce the J3 League for the 2014 season. The AC Nagano Parceiro planned to become part of the league. Since the football club's venue was too small for the two highest divisions of the J. League , a new stadium with at least 15,000 seats was planned. For the future, it should also meet the requirements of the highest league, the J1 League .
The difficulty lay in accommodating a building with increased capacity on the area of the small stadium. In the south there is a tennis facility with 16 courts. In the southwest corner of the site, a tennis hall restricted the space. On the east side, a street leads directly past the property. After the demolition in August 2013, construction began in January 2014 and was completed in just 14 months. At 7.9 billion yen (€ 63 million), they were ultimately above the previously planned costs of 7.1 billion yen (€ 56 million). Most of the construction costs were borne by Nagano City through the budget (3.8 billion yen) and bonds (3.2 billion yen).
The horseshoe-shaped facility consists of the two-storey, roofed stands of the main (west) and opposite stands (east) and the rear stand in the north. The north tier is the home stand of the AC Nagano Parceiro. Due to a lack of space, only a one-story tier, which is available for the guest fans, could be built on the south side. Overall, the tiers were built steeper and more compact to save space. The low south stand has the advantage that the natural grass field is better ventilated through the half-open side. The seating in the tiers is based on the club colors in orange (lower tier) and navy blue (upper tier). On the upper tier of the opposite stand, the lettering NAGANO is displayed with white seats. The floodlight system provides an illuminance of 100 to 1,500 lux . There is a large parking area for visitors behind the north stand. In addition to soccer, rugby or American football could also be played in the stadium.
The new Minami-Nagano Sports Park Stadium was inaugurated on March 22nd, 2015 with a game in the J3 League between AC Nagano Parceiro and SC Sagamihara (1: 2).
