Nadderud stadion is amulti-purpose stadium inBekkestua,Bærum, Norway.
It is currently used mostly for track and field meets andfootball matches, and is the home ground of the NorwegianToppserien (women's) andEliteserien (men's) teamStabæk Fotball. Former tenants areBærum SK. Matches for theU-21 national team has also been played here.
The record attendance is about 10,000, from a1970 Norwegian Cup match where Stabæk playedStrømsgodset. Ahead of the 1996 season, a new main grandstand with seating for 2,900 people was opened, costing 15 millionNorwegian krone (NOK). It increased the seating at the stadium with 1,400 seats from the old grandstand.[2] The municipality installedflood lights ahead of the 2005 season.[3] Stabæk moved toTelenor Arena for the2009 Tippeligaen season, but returned to Nadderud for the 2012 season due to financial issues. In a 2012 survey carried out by theNorwegian Players' Association among away-team captains, Nadderud was ranked twelfth amongst league stadiums, with a score of 2.73 on a scale from one to five.[4]
From 2009 the stadium is the home pitch of Stabæk's women's teamStabæk Fotball Kvinner (SFK), who play inToppserien, the women's top division.
Before the start of the 2012 season, Stabæk Fotball has moved back to Nadderud and the team'sEliteserien matches will be played at the stadium. This follows a decline in fortune of the top tier team, who were not able to pay for their rent for Telenor Arena past the end of 2011.
The stadium hosted theEuropean Cup in Athletics, First League for Men, in 2000.[5] Domestically it has hosted the Norwegian Championships in 1966 (arranged by (IL Tyrving) and 1985 (arranged by (Fossum IF).[6] It annually hosts the country's largest track and field meet, Tyrvinglekene.
The Norwegianbandy final was held here on 22 February 1970 whenStrømsgodset IF under a heavy snowfall beatStabæk IF 3–1.
