It is one of the oldest stadiums in northern Europe, having opened its gates in 1947. Over the years it was renovated several times until it took its final form in 2002. Its capacity is 21,423 seats and it is a very “warm” stadium because of the atmosphere created by the fans of Rosenborg BK. We would recommend taking the stadium tour where you will visit the sky bar, mixed zone, press room, changing rooms and sit on the benches. On the 3rd floor of the stadium you will find the restaurant.
