Fionia Park (originally Odense Stadion) is a football stadium and the home ground of Odense BK. Fionia is Latin for Funen. It has a capacity of 15,761.
The stadium consists of 4 stands:
- Two long-side stands:
- The Carlsberg stand (2771 seats)
- The Prio Fyn stand (2932 seats)
- Two end stands:
- The Fyens Stiftstidende stand (3496 seats)
- The Fionia Bank stand (2932 seats)
In addition to this there are 1760 standing places (800 home team - 960 away team), 18 handicap places and 38 press seats.
The "Fyens Stiftstidende" stand belongs to the fans of the hometeam, OB. The fan fraction called Odense Ultras (in-spite of the name non-violent) is working hard to get all seatings removed as they believe this will enhance the spirit and experience for the fans[citation needed].
It is considered among the top football stadiums in Denmark and fully complies with the requirements of UEFA.
