Plan for a roof on the Parkstad Limburg Stadium
The municipality of Kerkrade has plans to put a roof on the Parkstad Limburg Stadium. An architecture firm has calculated that covering the Parkstad Limburg Stadium, the stadium where the DCE Championships are held, will cost 15 million euros.
The stadium is owned for the majority by the municipality and making it more multifunctional should make it more appealing for the sale. A covered stadium with artificial turf would also make concerts, trade fairs and other events possible. The researchers refer to the Amsterdam ArenA as an example, where only 30 percent of the income of the stadium comes from football activities.
The director of the stadium, who is also the director of the administrative department of the municipality of Kerkrade, told newspaper De Limburger that he still does "not see this happening in the short term". Several options are being considered, including a closed roof and a roof that can open and close.
