J.J. Ugland Stadion
Grimstad, Norway
Formerly: Levermyr Stadion
J.J. Ugland Stadion — known until 2010 as Levermyr Stadion — sits at Levermyrveien 30 in Grimstad. It was officially opened in 1983 as a multi-purpose facility, though football has been played on the pitch since 1954. The stadium was renamed after Johan Jørgen Ugland, a local shipowner who had lent the municipality 20 million Norwegian kroner interest-free to fund upgrades; he died that year.
The current capacity is 3,300, comprising 2,075 seats and 1,225 standing areas. Major renovations took place in 2009–2010 to meet requirements for Amazon Grimstad's participation in the Toppserien, with further upgrades between 2015 and 2018 for FK Jerv's promotion to the OBOS-ligaen. Floodlights were installed in 2020. The all-time attendance record is approximately 8,000, set in 1963 during a national B-team match between Norway and Finland. FK Jerv's record attendance is around 7,000 from a cup match against Viking in 1976.
The stadium hosts FK Jerv (men's football), Amazon Grimstad (women's football), and Sørild FIK (athletics). A significant incident occurred in 2005 when the Norwegian Athletics Association withdrew the stadium's license for track and field events due to inadequacy, leading to the major renovation. The main surface is natural grass. There is also an adjacent artificial turf pitch known as Levermyr kunstgress. No major concerts have been hosted; the venue is primarily a sports facility.
