MCH Arena – stadium description

New stadium for FC Midtjylland was built almost at the heart of the region. It was planned as part of a major commercial and entertainment complex south of the city, later connected with a new southern ring-road of Herning.

Single-tiered stands consumed over 90 million krone to build back in 2004. The stadium offers about 12,000 capacity. Western grandstand is topped by two levels of floor space with panoramic view of the field. These facilities include a large VIP lounge able to take up to 1,800 guests.

In the summer of 2022, the expansion of the east stand began. The upgrade created a three-story pavilion adjacent to it, which mainly houses new VIP areas and skyboxes. Two rows of glass boxes were created above the auditorium, and the roof in this area was raised. The work was finalized in early 2024.
