Lotto Park, Football stadium in Anderlecht, Belgium
Lotto Park is a football stadium in Anderlecht, Brussels, home to RSC Anderlecht. A green grass pitch with a halfway line and centre circle sits inside an oval of dark purple tiered stands rising to a roof lined with floodlights. A low white barrier marked "LOTTO" in red capitals stands behind one goal line, with advertising boards along the perimeter.
The site began in 1917 as wooden terraces within Meir Park and underwent complete reconstruction in 1983. This renovation transformed it into a modern football ground with covered seating.
The stadium's name honours Constant Vanden Stock, club chairman for 25 years, not a player. The club's purple-and-white colours appear on banners and advertising boards, and the stadium is also called Astrid Park after the adjacent park, named for Queen Astrid, who died in 1935.
The stadium is accessible by metro line 5 to Sint-Guido station or by car through the Anderlecht exit. The venue accommodates around 21,500 people and offers convenient access routes.
The stadium's pitch measures about 105 by 65 metres and is sown with hybrid grass over under-soil heating. In 2020 the club replaced the heating and drainage system at a cost of roughly one million euros. The ground stands beside Astrid Park, named for Queen Astrid of Sweden, who died in 1935.
