History
editThe stadium was inaugurated on 10 September 1922 with an association football match between the two then best ranking Amager-based teams, BK Fremad Amager and B 1908 in front of a sizeable crowd — a silver trophy donated by wholesaler O. P. Jansen for the occasion was won by B 1908.[8][9] At the inauguration in September 1922, the sport's facility, with the entrance located at Englandsvej, consisted of 5 football fields, with one of these fields being specifically fenced and designated for tournament matches.[8][9] The first match was played at one of the smaller fields rather than the main field, because it was not ready for use.[9] An actual exhibition field was inaugurated with an association football match on 26 April 1925 between a representative team for island of Amager and B 1903.[1] The sports complex now consisted of an exhibition field and four football fields.[1]
B.93 will play their home matches at Sundby Idrætspark in the spring of 2025 during the renovation of Østerbro Stadium.[10] Hence, during the spring season of 2025, the main exhibition field will, for the first time, host league home matches for teams across the second tier (B.93), third tier (BK Fremad Amager), fourth tier (Sundby BK), and fifth tier (B 1908).
Facilities
editThe grand stand houses dressing rooms and press facilities. On the opposite side of the main stand there is a wooden terrace nicknamed as the Sunny Side. There are also a couple of smaller terraces at one end of the ground.
