Frans Heesen Stadion – stadium description

Under construction for Tyree years, the stadium in Dutch town of Oss consumer roughly 13 million guilders (or under €6 million as currency changed). Initially it was opened in the south with no grandstand built there, but that end was enclosed with a new educational facility after over a decade.

The stadium lies in a complex of five full-sized football fields south of central Oss. It’s capacity of over 4,500 people (with 300+ for away following) proved to be beyond sufficient for local needs.

Starting 2011, the stadium bears the name of Frans Heesen, a yacht manufacturer who contributed a lot to development of local football.
