De Meer Stadion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De Meer is the name of the former stadium of Ajax Amsterdam. It was opened in 1934 as a result of the club's former stadium being too small. However, over time, as Ajax's popularity and success grew, the De Meer proved to be too small - for a number of years, Ajax played their big European games at the Olympisch Stadion, before the opening of the purpose built Amsterdam ArenA in 1996. Following the club's departure, the De Meer was demolished to make way for a housing development. However, the area is commemorated by having the new streets named after famous football stadia from around the world, with a special area located exactly where the centre spot was.
