DSB Stadion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DSB Stadion is a multi-use stadium in Alkmaar, Netherlands. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of AZ Alkmaar. The stadium is able to hold 17,023 people and it officially opened on 4 August 2006 with a friendly against Arsenal. AZ lost the match 3-0, with Gilberto Silva scoring the stadium's first ever goal.
DSB Stadion replaces the club's former ground, Alkmaarder Hout. The main stand is called Victorie Tribune, the stand with the fanatic supporters is called Van der Ben Tribune (Ben-Side), the stand behind the other goal is called Westzijde, and the stand opposite to the main stand is called Molenaar Tribune.
The official name is DSB Stadion, but some supporters call it Victorie Stadion, a name that alludes to a victory over Spain during the Eighty Years' War.
