GelreDome, Football stadium in Arnhem, Netherlands

The GelreDome features a retractable roof and pitch system with seating arrangements divided into four main stands, accommodating 21,000 spectators for sports events.

The stadium construction began in 1996 under chairman Karel Aalbers vision and held its first match in March 1998 between Vitesse and NAC Breda.

The stadium serves as home to Vitesse football club and functions as a concert venue, hosting performances by international artists including Madonna and Paul McCartney.

Visitors can reach the stadium via shuttle buses from Arnhem central station, with regular service running every 10 minutes during match days.

The GelreDome was the first stadium worldwide to incorporate both a retractable pitch and roof system, setting new standards for multipurpose sports facilities.
