Kyocera Stadion
The Kyocera Stadion, until 2010 called ADO Den Haag Stadion, is the home stadium of ADO Den Haag. It has a capacity of 15,000 seats.
The Kyocera Stadion replaced ADO’s previous Zuiderpark Stadion, which could not meet modern demands in terms of facilities. Construction of the new stadium started late 2005, and finished in time for the start of the 2007/2008 season.
The stadium officially opened on the 28th of July 2007. The first match was played between ADO Den Haag and a selection of amateurs from the region.
The stadium has an exterior of glowing aluminium. The design of the stadium allows for an easy expansion to double the current capacity. From the start the club had the intention the sell the naming rights of the stadium, and in June 2010 the club announced that the stadium name would change into Kyocera Stadion.
Getting there
The Kyocera Stadion lies in the south-east of the city of The Hague, on a modern office park, where the A4 and A12 motorways intersect. The distance to The Hague’s city centre is about 6 kilometres.
Coming from the A8, take exit 8 Leidschendam. From there the stadium is signposted with a little ball sign and an N.
Coming from the A12, take exit 5 Nootdorp. Again, the stadium is signposted with a little ball, this time accompanied with a Z.
The stadium lies at walking distance from train station Den Haag Ypenburg, to which regular trains run from Den Haag Central station and the city of Gouda. The walk to the stadium takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
From The Hague, the stadium can probably be best reached by light rail (Randstadrail). Line 3 and 4 pass through The Hague’s city centre (and by the central station), and stop a 10-minute walk away from the stadium at station Forepark. The journey takes 10 minutes.
From Rotterdam, the stadium can be reached with light rail line E. Get on at Rotterdam Central Station or any other city centre stop (Stadhuis or Beurs), and get off at stop Forepark. The journey takes a little over 20 minutes.
Bus line 19 connects the cities of Delft and Leidschendam with Den Haag Ypenburg station.
