Gjøvik stadium, Municipal stadium in Gjøvik, Norway.
Gjøvik Stadium is a municipal sports complex in Gjøvik, Norway, combining multiple facilities in one location. It features artificial grass pitches for football, an athletics track, and seasonal ice skating areas that serve different sports needs throughout the year.
The facility was founded in 1910 and has served the community for more than a century. In the 1960s, the venue gained international attention when a local team competed against foreign opponents in European competitions.
The facility serves the local community as a gathering place for sports enthusiasts and families who participate in or watch football, track events, and seasonal ice activities. This mix of sports reflects how residents maintain active outdoor traditions throughout the year.
Use of the facilities requires advance booking for organized activities or group events. During winter, visitors should check ice skating availability, as this use is limited to certain months when conditions permit.
The transformation into an ice skating venue during winter months is a notable feature that sets this facility apart from typical football-only stadiums. This dual-use approach allows the community to support multiple sports year-round within limited space.
