In March 1980, plans for a new stadium were initiated on a local municipal level.[3] These were approved on 14 April by Aalborg mayor Marius Andersen and became effective as of 15 September 1980.[3] The plans would eventually lead to the construction of Soffy Road.[1] The stadium name 'Soffy Road' is a Danglish expression, an example of code-switching, on the address of the ground, which is Sofievej 31 (Sophie Road 31).[4]
