History and description

Haugesunds Avis played their first game here on 17 May 1920. The ground has been the home of Haugesund FK since 1938. The ground was first nothing more than a bare gravel pitch and some changing facilities, and it took until 1926 for the first stand to be built. The stadium got further expanded in 1930s and 1940s.

The current record attendance for a Haugesund Stadion match is 18,426 spectators who attended a fixture between Haugesund and Rosenborg on 24 October 2018.

Over the years, the stadium remained a basic structure without much cover. In the mid 2000s, Haugesund explored the option to build an entirely new stadium, but in the end opted to renovate Haugesund Stadium.

In 2012 and 2013, redevelopment work was conducted to remove the athletics track and construct new stands, including a new main stand.
