The Zuiderparkstadion ( German Südpark Stadium ) is the former football stadium of the Dutch football club ADO Den Haag .
history
Twenty years after the club was founded and played in various sports facilities, ADO Den Haag moved into the then newly built Zuiderpark Stadium on October 18, 1925. The stadium was temporarily abandoned shortly before the end of the Second World War because the club did not have the necessary financial means to maintain the stadium. Horses even grazed on the field .
After the severe winter of 1946/47, the plant was in a catastrophic state. Only one grandstand with a roof was still usable. Thereupon plans were implemented to renovate and expand the stadium. On August 9, 1949, the first match between ADO Den Haag and Feyenoord Rotterdam took place. In 1957, the Südpark was expanded to accommodate 25,000 spectators and in 1967 to 28,500. In 1972/73 a new clubhouse with modern facilities such as a restaurant was built.
On November 7, 1993, the north stand was named Aad Mansveldtribune and in 1994 the west stand was opened under the name Jan Knijnenburg Gezinstribune . In 2001 this was then renamed Hyundaitribune .
With the last game on April 22, 2007, the ADO Den Haag said goodbye to the sports facility. From the following season 2007/08 the club played in the newly built ADO Den Haag Stadium . The demolition of the stadium began in June 2007.
