De Vijverberg
The stands at De Vijverberg sit closer to the pitch than they did in 1998, and that was the point. The rebuild of 1998–2000 took down the old stands, filled in the corners and pulled the seating in to make a compact bowl. The wooden terraces had already given way to concrete in the 1960s and 1970s, when floodlights went up and the covered Spinnekop was built on the western side. The Vijverberg stand got its roof in 1986.
The ground opened on 4 September 1954 with a match between Де Граафсхап and Фортуна '54, and the club has played there ever since. Ownership changed in 2007, when the municipality of Дутинхем took the stadium over from the club.
Capacity moved from 11,000 to 12,600 in 2006–2007, and not through construction: seats were fitted into the bottom row of the stands after Де Граафсхап went up to the Эредивизи. In 2008/09 the direction reversed in sectors 15 and 16 of the Spinnekop, where the plastic seats came out so supporters could stand again.
In 2012 the board looked at laying an artificial surface. Supporters objected, insisting on grass, and the plan was overturned. Grass it remains. In the summer of 2020 the supporters' groups Бригата Тифози, Олдиз ДТЦ and Блю Бразерс painted murals of club figures on the outer walls and repainted the seats and stairwells in blue and white.
