Profile

The Gelredome is the home ground of Vitesse in the city of Arnhem in the Netherlands. It was built in 1998, featuring a retractable roof as well as a convertible pitch that can be retracted when unused during concerts or other events held at the venue although its capacity was rather modest with only 32,500 spectators at most and 39.000 with concerts. The climate control system is very advanced and the stadium is friendly to the environment. It was also one of the various venues for the Euro 2000 tournament held in the Netherlands and Belgium. It replaced the Monnikenhuize.

There is parking space for 4,000 cars and there is a quick bus connection with the central station. In the stadium is a spacious promenade with many vendors selling beverages, snacks and merchandising articles.
