Ĭonstruction started in 1965, with the completion of a grass pitch, a 400-meter (1,300 ft) running track and a grandstand consisting of wooden benches for 2,500 spectators. The latter was chosen and the plans were passed by the municipal council in 1963. Two locations were considered: at Plassmyra, now the location of the Norwegian Aviation Museum, and at Aspmyra. The interest spurred a large protest meeting organized by the various sports clubs in town in support of the municipality building a new venue. By 1962, plans had surfaced for a central stadium for the prime sports clubs. The primary venue for the clubs' elite teams was Bodø Station. After the club received illegal public subsidies in 2008 and had to upgrade the venue, it was in 2011 sold back to the municipality.Īfter the establishment of Bodø/Glimt in 1916 and Grand Bodø the following year, the clubs played at various locations throughout the town. This involved removing the running track and building commercial and residential properties around the venue. Aspmyra Stadion was sold to Glimt in 1997, followed by the construction of the south and east stands. ![]() ![]() In 1992, the pitch was resowed, forcing Glimt to play a season in Nordlandshallen, which since has been used twice for Norwegian top division matches. The venue had a slight upgrade in 1980, which also saw the laying of all-weather running track and the construction of the training pitch. Glimt reached the top-flight in 1977, and played Cup Winners' Cup matches in the late 1970s at Aspmyra. The venue opened in 1966 as a municipal multi-purpose stadium which included a running track. Aspmyra Stadion has hosted one Norway national football team match, against Iceland in 2002. Immediately south of the venue lies Aspmyra kunstgressbane, a training pitch with artificial turf. The venue has floodlights and artificial turf with under-soil heating. Before this new stand was built the area in front of the old stand was a standing area that could hold approximately 2000 people, but did not fulfill UEFA safety regulations for international matches. An older raised grandstand with roofing at the back and a new (built 2022) all-seater unroofed stand in front. The venue has four stands: a modern all-seater with roof, 100 club seats and 15 luxury boxes to the south, unroofed all-seater stands to the east and west and two stands to the north. Home of Bodø/Glimt and Grand Bodø, it holds a seated capacity for 8,270 spectators. ![]()
