Stadion Galgenwaard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Galgenwaard (Gallows Holm) Stadium was opened in 1982. At the time it was one of the most modern stadiums in the world, especially due to the moat around the pitch. After twenty years FC Utrecht felt the need for expansion and renewal. The main stand was moved to the North side and taken into use at the beginning of the 2001-2002 season.
The old main stand was taken care of right after that and a year later FC Utrecht had two new stands along the long side of the pitch. Last season, the at the short sides of the pitch were replaced, the stadium has nearly 25,000 seats now. Since the first of January 2002, the home of FC Utrecht is called Stadion Galgenwaard.
