Arteveldestadion
The Arteveldestadion is the currently under construction new home of KAA Gent.
First plans for the construction of a new stadium for Gent were presented as early as 2003, with the expectation of finishing the project by the 2006/2007 season, however a series of problems, among which the funding of the stadium and environmental concerns, have seriously delayed the project.
Construction eventually started in 2011, with the completion of the stadium projected for the start of the 2012/2013 season. In December 2011 the city council however announced that this deadline would not be met and the stadium will instead be finished before the 2013/2014 season.
The stadium is planned to have a capacity of 20,000 seats, and will include a hotel, and office and retail facilities. The design takes into account any potential future capacity increases to 30,000 or 40,000 seats.
