The Gelredome is the home stadium of Vitesse in Arnhem. It was built in 1998, featuring a retractable roof as well as a convertible pitch that can be retracted when unused during concerts or other events held at the stadium although its capacity was rather modest with only 29,600 spectators at most. The climate control system is very advanced and the stadium is friendly to the environment. It was also one of the various venues for the tournament held in the Netherlands and Belgium.

There is parking space for 4,000 cars and there is a quick bus connection with the central station. In the stadium is a spacious promenade with many vendors selling beverages, snacks and merchandising articles.

The stadium regularly hosts pop-concerts, e.g.:

• U2
• Queen + Paul Rodgers
• Rammstein
• Coldplay
• DJ Tiesto
• Britney Spears
• Madonna
• Radiohead
• Justin Timberlake
• Paul McCartney
• Metallica
• Spice Girls
• Backstreet Boys
