Stadium
ELKEM völlurinn
Akranes, Iceland
Formerly: Akranesvöllur, Norðurálsvöllurinn
The name on the ground changes with the sponsor. Before Elkem put its name on it, the ground went by Norðurálsvöllurinn , a title still in use as recently as 2021. What sits at Jaðarsbraut 302, in the Gerði district of Akranes, has been there far longer than any of those names.
It is a grass pitch on the Icelandic coast. The listed capacity of 5,550 is close enough to the 5,524 counted in 2013 that the difference is bookkeeping rather than construction.
Of those 5,550 places, only 850 are seats.
Work began on the ground in 2023 and has continued since. For now the arithmetic holds: five and a half thousand, and fewer than a sixth of them sitting down.
