The Monnikenhuize ( German monk's house ) was a football stadium in the Dutch city of Arnhem .
history
The Monnikenhuize was located between the Bosweg , Monnikensteeg and Rosendaalseweg . It was opened as Vitesse Arnhem's new home ground with a game against Noordelijke Zwaluwen on September 26, 1915 .
As part of the 1928 Summer Olympics , the consolation round game Chile - Mexico 3: 1 took place in front of 6000 spectators at Monnikenhuize.
The stadium had a capacity of around 7500 spectators. Temporary grandstands were also built for large games. On April 10, 1950, more than 12,000 spectators came to the Vitesse promotion game to Monnikenhuize. Of the four additional wooden stands, however, two collapsed and some were injured.
On May 18, 1950 Vitesse won his promotion game 3-1 and said goodbye after this game from the stadium, which was then torn down. On the other side of the Monnikensteeg, the new home ground, the Nieuw Monnikenhuize, was moved into.
