Stadion v Jiráskově ulici, Football stadium in Jihlava, Czech Republic
Stadion v Jiráskově ulici is a football arena with natural grass and modern floodlights for evening matches. It holds around 4,000 spectators and features undersoil heating to allow play during winter conditions.
The stadium opened in 1955, its first event a June spartakiad with 10,000 gymnasts, though construction finished later that year. A covered grandstand was added in 1974–1975, and after FC Vysočina reached the top flight in 2005, a new roofed stand with four 1,200-lux floodlight masts was completed in 2006.
The stadium's opening event in June 1955 was a spartakiad with 10,000 gymnasts, before construction was even finished. Today the ground is the home of FC Vysočina Jihlava, and its name comes from Jiráskova Street, where it stands near the city centre.
The ground sits in Jiráskova Street in Jihlava, with the covered south-west stand along the pitch and the newer north-west stand behind a goal. The athletics track was removed when that stand went up, so spectators sit close to the grass. Matches are played on natural turf with undersoil heating.
The 2010–11 Czech Cup final at the stadium ended 1–1 between Mladá Boleslav and Sigma Olomouc, and Boleslav won 4–3 on penalties. It was only the third final held outside Prague since the competition began in 1993–94.
