Club: PEC Zwolle | Opening: 2009 | Capacity: 14,000<\/p>\n
MAC3PARK Stadion, previously known as IJsseldelta Stadion, got built in 2009 as a modern replacement for PEC Zwolle’s old\u00a0Oosterenk Stadion<\/a>, which had been the home of the club since the 1970s, but lacked modern facilities.<\/p>\n PEC Zwolle therefore decided to build a new stadium, and after a long process that included the citizens of the city of Zwolle voting down initial plans, construction was finally approved in 2005.<\/p>\n Demolition and construction were performed\u00a0in phases so that Zwolle could keep playing their home games\u00a0at the stadium. As a result, there was no official first match, though a tribute match for Jaap Stam in the summer of 2009 was one of the first to be played in the fully completed stadium. The stadium officially opened on 29 August 2009 and had an initial capacity of 10,000 seats.<\/p>\n Soon after, PEC Zwolle expanded the stadium with additional rows of seating in front of one of the sides. They furthermore turned a some of the seating areas into standing, and in 2013 extended part of the main stand down to the pitch. In 2016, they extended the stand at one of the end down towards pitch level and turned the bottom half of the stand into a terrace, boosting capacity to the current 13,250.<\/p>\n The stadium initially went by the name of FC Zwolle Stadium, but after the club changed back to its former name PEC Zwolle in 2012, a new name had to be sought, resulting in IJsseldelta Stadium named after the IJssel river that runs through the city. In 2016, the name changed to MAC3PARK Stadion following a naming rights deal.<\/p>\n MAC3PARK Stadion\u00a0houses several retail activities such as a casino, restaurant, and a hotel. It has had an artificial pitch<\/a> since its inauguration.<\/p>\n MAC3PARK Stadion is located in the east of the city of Zwolle at about 2.5 kilometres from its city centre.<\/p>\n The stadium is easily reached by car coming from the A28 motorway. Take exit 20 Zwolle Noord and turn south onto the Ceintuurbaan. The stadium will soon turn up on your left.<\/p>\n If using public transport, take bus 3 from the railway station, which also passes through the city’s historic centre. The journey takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Get off at stop Stadion.<\/p>\n Address: Stadionplein 1, 8025 CP Zwolle<\/p>\nHow to get to MAC3PARK Stadion<\/h3>\n
