Euroborg is the stadium of football club FC Groningen, with a capacity of 19,814 seats. Located to the south-east of Groningen, the Euroborg site houses a casino and a new movie theatre, a school, a supermarket and a fitness centre. A temporary railway station at the Euroborg has opened in late 2007. A permanent one is slated to open in 2009. The stadium seats are completely in the club's colours: green and white. 1000 seats are available for the supporters of the away team.
After the summer of 2008 the stadium will have a capacity of 22,000, because of an expansion of 2200 seats. There are plans to expand the stadium to a capacity of 30- or 40,000.
Besides the nickname de Groene Hel (the Green Hell) it also is called de Groene Kathedraal (the Green Cathedral).
