Molde is a small town of just over 30,000 inhabitants on the Romsdal peninsula on the banks of the Romsdalfjord in Midwest Norway, and has a football team that has gradually become one of Norway’s best in this decade. , hosting Ferencváros next Wednesday. In the first game of the league playoff round in one of the most beautiful stadiums in Norway.
The construction of the Molde stadium began in March 1997 and by April 1998 the facility had already been delivered for NOK 212 million, that is, at the current exchange rate, which cost approximately HUF 7.2 billion.
The stadium, planned for the shore of the fjord, sparked many protests from the local population when the plans came out, mainly because of the size of the building and the filling of the fjord, but in the end, the local government gave permission for the construction.
Although it still had seating for 13,010 at the time of delivery, the stands have now been closed, in accordance with UEFA regulations, so that 11,249 spectators can take their seats in the stands.
Another problem is that this is of no particular importance, because due to the coronavirus epidemic, the match must be held behind closed doors anyway.
The imposing facility shown in the pictures below received an artificial grass cover in 2014, which was renovated in 2017, so that the floor can now be used for more than 2000 hours per year, unlike the grass cover “traditional” 130 hours a year.
