Facilities

The arena is owned by KFUM-Kameratene Oslo. It was opened on 19 November 2007.[3] The construction costs were estimated to around NOK 10 million.[4] The pitch itself is 64 x 105 meters and has artificial turf, under-soil heating and an automatic watering system. The stadium is located next to a sports hall; KFUM-hallen.

In the aftermath of KFUM's promotion to the second tier in 2015, the artificial turf was changed and the stands were upgraded.

There are plans of major upgrades of the existing facilities. The project has been named KFUM Familiearena and wil increase the seated capacity to. 2,250.[5][6]

The attendance record of 1,866 spectators dates from 4 May 2016 when KFUM met Vålerenga in the third round of the Norwegian Cup.[2] Vålerenga won the game with the score 2–0.[7] The previous record was set 7 May 2015, when 934 spectators visited the 2015 Norwegian Cup second-round game between KFUM and Stabæk.

gollark: Fear the person who practices a reasonable assortment of kicks and other strikes a large amount of times each, but also in integrated practice and live sparring?
gollark: Also, they *mostly* produce electron beams, the X-rays are IIRC a byproduct.
