sluttstadium

Sluttstadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in Grændvik, a coastal city in the fictional country of Arvira. Opened in 1989, it serves as the home ground of Grændvik Football Club and hosts national league matches, athletics competition, and large-scale concerts. The venue has a seating capacity of 42,000 and is owned by the Grændvik Municipal Sports Authority, with operations managed by the football club.

Designed by architect Lena Mariusen, Sluttstadium combines reinforced concrete with a glass-and-steel exterior and a sweeping roof over the main stands. The venue features a full-size football pitch laid on a hybrid grass surface, surrounded by a 400-meter athletics track. The two-tier bowl includes hospitality suites, club rooms, and accessible viewing areas; a retractable roof over the central sections provides weather protection for major events.

Construction took place from 1986 to 1989, funded by municipal bonds and private sponsorship. In 2007, the stadium underwent a major modernization that included upgraded floodlighting, a new sound system, and improved crowd circulation. A further renovation in 2019 added a solar canopy, enhanced insulation, and improved sustainability features.

Sluttstadium hosts domestic league matches, national cup finals, and international club friendlies. It has also served as a venue for large concerts and community events, with temporary seating used to accommodate higher attendance for special programs.

Access is provided via the nearby Grændvik metro line and several bus routes; there are designated bicycle lanes and over 1,000 parking spaces. The name Sluttstadium derives from a historical district name in Grændvik and is not connected to contemporary language usage.
