Lerkendal Stadion first opened on 10th August 1947, a few years after the end of the Second World War as the city of Trondheim’s main sports stadium. Municipally owned, the stadium originally featured an athletics track around the perimeter of the pitch, however it was built over during the large-scale renovation which occurred at the turn of the millennium. The ground was originally shared by SK Freidig and FK Kvik, and it wasn’t until 1957 that present day tenant Rosenborg BK moved in. The stadium developed slowly over the course of the 20th century, with the construction of a fully-covered grandstand in 1962, and floodlights in 1968. The stadium’s capacity peaked during the 1980s with the final game of the 1985 season against Lillestrøm SK attracting a record crowd of 28,569. After Rosenborg qualified tor the 1995/1996 Champions League, the club constructed a new northern stand in order to satisfy UEFA stadium regulations which no longer permitted standing terraces. Costing 32 million, the new stand debuted in the 1996 season which marked Rosenborg’s greatest ever performance in Europe by reach the quarter finals against Juventus, after qualifying from a group which contained Porto, AC Milan and IFK Göteborg. Between 2000 and 2002 Lerkendal Stadion underwent a major renovation which saw the construction of three new stands to join the one which opened in 1996. Built on top of the athletics track which essentially removed it, the stadium was reconfigured as a dedicated football stadium. As a way of compensation the city of Tondheimspent 32 million upgrading Øya Stadionas the city’s main athletics venue. As for the future of Lerkendal Stadium, it appears as if any future renovations are contingent on Trondheim being selected as a host city of a major tournament. Plans for an upgraded 30,000 capacity venue have doing the rounds since Euro 2008, and more recently Euro 2016, however both Nordic bids have failed. Rosenborg are reluctant to fund further expansions themselves due to declining attendances.
