Nagoya Mizuho Athletics Stadium

Nagoya Grampus played their last professional match here on 12 December 2020, a goalless draw with Yokohama FC, and the ground's run as a J.League venue came to an end with it. The stands did not empty for long: from late 2020 until October 2021 the site worked as a mass vaccination centre, and only after that did the demolition crews arrive. The 1941 stadium came down across 2021 and 2022.

What replaced it stands on the same footing. A consortium led by Takenaka Corporation built the new stadium at a cost of about 49.6 billion yen before tax, with a roof carried over all 30,000 permanent seats. The old ground held 27,000, of which only 20,000 were opened for J.League fixtures. Temporary seating lifts the figure to 35,000 for the 2026 Asian Games.

The venue opened in 1941 as the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletics Stadium and was worked over three times — in 1950, 1982 and 1994 — before Paloma Corporation took the naming rights in April 2015 and it became Paloma Mizuho Stadium. Grampus had used it as their principal home since 1993. The official attendance record dates from 12 August 1995: 22,573 for Nagoya Grampus Eight against Júbilo Iwata. Japan beat Ghana 3-2 here in 1994, and in 2015 Grampus knocked out Gamba Osaka on penalties in the Yamazaki Nabisco Cup semi-final.
