Stadion Rohonci Út (Hungarian: Rohonci úti stadion) is a multi-purpose stadium in Szombathely, Hungary.[1] It is currently home to Szombathelyi Haladás who, for the 2008–09 season, played in the Hungarian National Championship I. The stadium is able to hold 12,500 people and was built in 1923. It hosts the hammer throw events for the IAAF World Athletics Final as the Stade Louis II in Monaco is too small.

History

Demolition

On 19 January 2016, the seats were removed from the old stadium. Some of these seats were purchased by the club's supporters and the rest was acquired by smaller clubs based in Vas County.[2]

On 23 February the flood lights were demolished.[3]
