De Vijfkamp

The building sits in the Woensel-Noord district, a corner of Eindhoven where the pavement gives way to Sportpark Eindhoven-Noord. It is not a stadium. There is no natural grass or floodlights here, only the hum of an indoor hall that hosts korfball, handball, and the odd gymnastics display. The place is managed by Eindhoven Sport .

What makes it different is the quiet consistency of its tenants. PSV Handbal camps in the hall for its Eredivisie matches, and the local club DSC holds court on the same floor. They are joined by My Gymclub . The capacity is a modest 375.

One would not expect it to. The building has no name to add to the list of sponsors, and no specific date marks when it first opened its doors.

Outside, the wind blows across the parking lot where HC Eindhoven keeps its cars, though the hockey club stays on the grass. There are no concerts, no big events that spill out onto the street. It is a functional space, a place where things came to a head over a handball match, but rarely makes headlines.
