The New Galgenwaard (Gallows Holm) Stadium was opened in 1982. At the time it was one of the most modern stadiums in the world, especially due to its beautiful moat around the pitch. After twenty years FC Utrecht was in need of expansion and renewal. The main tribune was moved to the north side and was taken into use at the beginning of the 2001 - 2002 season.
The old main tribune was taken care of right after that and a year later FC Utrecht had two new tribunes along the long side of the pitch. Last season, the tribunes along the short side of the pitch were replaced, the stadium has nearly 25,000 seats now. Since the first of January 2002, the home of FC Utrecht is called Stadion Galgenwaard.
