Gutavallen is an outdoor sports stadium located in Visby, Sweden. It was built in 1929 and is used for football as well as athletics, but occasionally the arena is also used for concerts. Gutavallen is the home arena of FC Gute and Visby AIK.[1]
The stadium has two stands—one on each long side—with the main stand seating 550 spectators. The original main stand was burned down in 1999, but was quickly rebuilt.[2] Gutavallen has a total spectator capacity of 5,000—this is also the record which was set on April 1, 1995, when the then-named football club Visby IF Gute took on the Allsvenskan team IFK Göteborg in a game at the 1994–95 Svenska Cupen which the away team Göteborg won 4–0.[3][4]
At the time that Gutavallen originally was built, it did not have an all-weather running track, which was first added in 1975. However, the Swedish Centre Party is requiring the running track to be replaced by 2012 because the track's floor has worn out.[2]
