Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Br\u00f8ndby IF | Opening: 1964 | Capacity: 29,000 (5,600 standing)<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

Br\u00f8ndby Stadion got built in 1964, though at that time consisted of nothing more than a pitch, athletics track, and some low earth banks. The dressing rooms were located in a yellow brick building away from the stadium, which meant that players had to move through the crowd to get to the pitch.<\/p>\n

Some minor improvements were made in the years following, but it took until 1978 for a first grandstand to be built. A few years later a concrete terrace was erected at the opposite side.<\/p>\n

In 1990, the athletic tracks were removed, and further improvements were made to the stadium, including increased cover. After European successes in 1991 temporary scaffolding stands were erected, which brought capacity to 18,000. One year later the temporary stands were replaced with permanent ones.<\/p>\n

Brondby Stadion remained with limitations though, especially in terms of capacity, and by the turn of the millennium the club decided to embark on a major redevelopment program.<\/p>\n

The stadium was bought from the city and all stands were reconstructed. The completely redeveloped arena reopened on 22 October 2000.<\/p>\n

Brondby Stadion\u00a0also regularly gets referred to as Vilfort Park, after former Br\u00f8ndby player Kim Vilfort.<\/p>\n
