Marienlyst stadion has been the home ground of Strømsgodset IF since 1967. It's located on Marienlyst in Drammen. The Norway national under-21 football team plays most of their games on Marienlyst.
The pitch was opened in 1924, and was the home ground of Drafn, Skiold and Drammens Ballklubb.
The grass was removed in November 2007 to make way for artificial ice surface for winter sports, and artificial grass for summer sports. Strømsgodset will play their final two seasons in the stadium in 2008 and 2009, then move to a completely new stadium closer to their own headquarters at Gulskogen (August 2009).
