Rosenborg Stadium
Trøndelag
Lerkendal Stadion, located in Trondheim, Norway, is a prominent all-seater football stadium and the home ground of Rosenborg BK, one of Norway's most successful football clubs. Opened on 10 August 1947, it originally served multiple sports including football, athletics, handball, and tennis. Over the decades, it has undergone several renovations, notably in 1962 with the construction of concrete stands and a distinctive wave-shaped roof, and between 2000 and 2002 when athletics facilities were removed to enhance football spectator experience. The stadium currently holds 21,405 spectators, making it the second-largest in Norway. It has hosted significant football matches including UEFA Champions League games and international fixtures. The record attendance was 28,569 during a decisive league match in 1985. Modern amenities such as floodlights, a Desso GrassMaster pitch, and proximity to Lerkendal Station contribute to its status as a top-tier sports venue. Plans for further expansion, including filling corner sections and potentially adding a retractable roof, reflect its ongoing importance in Norwegian football culture.

Histoire
Construction of Lerkendal Stadion began in the 1930s as a public works project to create jobs, opening in 1947 with a capacity of 37,000 using temporary stands.
The first major upgrade occurred in 1962 with the replacement of wooden stands by concrete ones and the addition of a wave-shaped roof.
Floodlights were installed in 1968 to accommodate UEFA matches.
In 1996, a new grandstand was built to comply with UEFA regulations and to increase capacity.
The stadium transitioned from a multi-use venue to a football-specific arena by removing athletics facilities around 2000–2002, when Rosenborg BK also acquired ownership from Trondheim Municipality.
