The Trolli Arena[1] is a football stadium in the district of Ronhof in Fürth, Bavaria, and the home ground of 2. Bundesliga team SpVgg Greuther Fürth.[1]

The stadium was originally opened on 11 September 1910 under the name Sportplatz am Ronhofer Weg gegenüber dem Zentral-Friedhof[1] (English: Sports ground on Ronhof Lane opposite the central cemetery). It was expanded several times (max. 28000 capacity) but later reduced to 15,500 and today holds a capacity crowd of 18,500.[2] It was expanded following Fürth's promotion to the Bundesliga. The Trolli Arena remained the Bundesliga's smallest stadium, though.
