Sportstad is an initiative of the Municipality of Heerenveen, sc Heerenveen and De Friesland Health Insurer. These three partners combined their individual renovation and new-build plans into one ambitious and forward-looking concept, located in one of the most iconic areas of Heerenveen. The area is widely known for the Abe Lenstra Stadium, home of football club sc Heerenveen. The Sportstad project received approval in 2003 and officially opened in July 2006.
