Abe Lenstra Stadium, Heerenveen
Posted in Dutch Football Grounds, Trips at 20:33 on 4 June 2018
When visiting Belgium and The Netherlands in May last year I took a wrong exit and ended up heading north on a slightly different motorway from the one I intended. (Btw Dutch motorways are brilliant I have to say.)
As a result we passed directly beside the Abe Lenstra Stadium, home of SC Heerenveen, who play in the top level of Dutch football, the Eredivisie. I note that the team plays in the colours of the flag of Friesland.
The stadium is named after Abe Lenstra, the club’s most famous player, even though the era in which he played was not the club’s most successful.
The pictures were snatched (not by the driver) as we drove past.
