Nieuw Cambuurstadion – design description

Having seen the initial renderings presented back in 2013, only in June 2017 have we seen the final design of SC Cambuur's proposed new stadium. The team aspiring to become a solid Eredivisie side will get a stadium you might find familiar to FC Zwolle's home. And not without reason, both of them were designed by Widdershoven Architecten.

While, at least initially, left with empty corners, the stadium will be entirely enclosed to provide a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. Its capacity should be around 15,000 people, 50% more than the old Cambuur Stadion. Far more than just football is planned here as the project has to be commercially viable. 70,000 m² are earmarked for leisure and sports out of total space of 100,000 m².

The cost is to be divided between two developers, Van Wijnen and Dijkstra Draisma, as well as the football club and the city.
