De Vijverberg
Stadion De Vijverberg (; ) is the football stadium in Doetinchem, Netherlands. It has a capacity of 12,600 seats. The name is derived from a hotel with the same name, which stood on the present location of the stadium. Because of all the ponds that had to be filled up, the name Vijverberg arose. The stadium, which was built in 1954, was renovated in 1970, with the construction of the Vijverberg-, Groenendaal- and Spinnekop stands and the light installation. After the construction of the roofs above the stands in the late eighties, a radical renovation of the Vijverberg began in the summer of 1998.

The stadium used to have its own train station, but it was closed in 2005. Like many clubs in the Netherlands, the board of De Graafschap in 2012 considered switching to artificial turf in the st ...

Artificial Turf
Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass, used in sports arenas, residential lawns and commercial applications that traditionally use grass. It is much more durable than grass and easily maintained without irrigation or trimming, although periodic cleaning is required. Stadiums that are substantially covered and/or at high latitudes often use artificial turf, as they typically lack enough sunlight for photosynthesis and substitutes for solar radiation are prohibitively expensive and energy-intensive. Disadvantages include increased risk of injury especially when used in athletic competition, as well as health and environmental concerns about the petroleum and toxic chemicals used in its manufacture. Artificial turf first gained substantial attention in 1966, when ChemGrass was installed in the year-old Astrodome, developed by Monsanto and rebranded as AstroTurf, now a generic trademark (registered to a new owner) for any artificial tur ...
