History and description<\/h3>\n

Szusza Ferenc Stadion was built in 1922 after Ujpest had been forced to find a new home when the rent of their previous ground was terminated.<\/p>\n

The new concrete stadium, then called Megyeri \u00dati Stadion, had a capacity of about 20,000 places, and officially opened on 17 September 1922 with a match between Ujpest and FTC (2-1). It got further expanded in the early 1930s.<\/p>\n

During World War 2, looters took much of the wood of the stadium, and it subsequently got further damaged when it was flooded in 1945.<\/p>\n

Megyeri Uti Stadion was soon rebuilt though, and capacity was increased to 45,117. Several internationals were played at the ground until Ferenc P\u00faskas Stadion opened in 1953. Ujpest also started playing their high-profile matches at the bigger stadium.<\/p>\n

Small improvements were made in the following decades, but the stadium slowly fell into disrepair and capacity got reduced due to safety measures.<\/p>\n

Ujpest therefore started an extensive redevelopment program, and between 1999 and 2001 the stadium got almost completely rebuilt into a modern all-seater.<\/p>\n

Some further renovations were made in 2003, and the stadium was subsequently renamed Szusza Ferenc Stadion.<\/p>\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
