Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Helmond Sport | Opening: 1967 | Capacity: 4,100 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

SolarUnie Stadion, previously called Lavans Stadion and more commonly known as Stadion De Braak, got built in 1967. The stadium underwent several redevelopments between 1994 and 2000 when three new seating stands were built.<\/p>\n

SolarUnie Stadion only consists of three stands. One of the short ends is left open with just the scoreboard.<\/p>\n

Between 2010 and 2018 the stadium was called Lavans Stadion following a naming rights sponsorship deal. It changed name to SolarUnie Stadion in 2018 following a new naming rights deal.<\/p>\n

How to get to SolarUnie Stadion<\/h3>\n

SolarUnie Stadion is located about 2 kilometres north-east of Helmond\u2019s small city centre, and a similar distance from Helmond\u2019s main train station (which lies just south of the city centre). The walk from both places will take less than half an hour.<\/p>\n

Bus<\/a> 23 and 54 connect the stadium with the train station. Take bus 23 in the direction of Milheeze and get off at stop Bijsterveld. It is a 5-minute walk from there. Otherwise, take bus 54 in the direction of Straakven. Get off at stop Bakelsedijk, which is even closer to the stadium. The ride takes about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
