Strømsgodset Toppfotball is a Norwegian professionalfootball club based inGulskogen,Drammen, competing in theEliteserien. It is part of the multi-sports clubStrømsgodset IF, founded on February 10, 1907.
The football team rose to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s,[1] led by young strikerSteinar Pettersen and his teammates, known as the "Rødgata Boys" (named after their street in Drammen). They climbed from the fourth tier to the top flight in a few years,[1] winning theleague title in 1970 and theNorwegian Cup in 1969, 1970, and 1973.[1]
The following decades were challenging, with the club even dropping to the third tier in 1986. This setback marked a turning point, and they returned to the top flight in 1989.[1] In 1991, they won their fourth Norwegian Cup, but the 1990s remained turbulent with promotions and relegations, including winning a bronze medal in 1997 despite losing thecup final the same year[1]
By 2005, financial troubles almost led to bankruptcy. However, local investors stepped in, sparking a new era of success. Strømsgodset returned to Tippeligaen, won the Norwegian Cup in 2010, and steadily improved. After finishing second in 2012, they secured their second league title in 2013.[1]

Strømsgodset Toppfotball play their home games atMarienlyst Stadium. The stadium has been rebuilt several times, most recently with a new south end ("Klokkesvingen") in 2014. There,safe standing (rail seats) was installed, which increased the capacity to 8,935 in matches where standing supporters are allowed. Safe standing has also been installed in the north end. When an all-seating stadium is required, the capacity is 8,060.
Record attendance for the club is 16,687 againstRosenborg BK in 1969.[2] However, local rivals Mjøndalen holds the all-time record from a Cup semi final tie versus Viking in 1949, by approximately another thousand.
The stadium often goes under the name of "Gamle Gress" (meaning "Old turf")
Field measurements are 106 m x 68 m.
The turf has now been replaced with an artificial grass surface.
Marienlyst Stadium has frequently been used in Norway U21 International matches, and on 16 October 2012 when Norway U21 beat France U21 5–3 at Marienlyst and qualified for the2013 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, after France won 1–0 in the first play-off match.[3]
