SpVgg Greuther Fürth |
The Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer is an association football stadium in the district of Ronhof in Fürth, Bavaria, Germany, and the home ground of 2. Bundesliga team SpVgg Greuther Fürth.
The stadium was originally opened on 11 September 1910 under the name Sportplatz am Ronhofer Weg gegenüber dem Zentral-Friedhof (English: Sports ground on Ronhof Lane opposite the central cemetery). It was expanded several times (max. 28,000 capacity) but later reduced to 15,500 and today holds a capacity crowd of 18,000. It was expanded following Fürth's promotion to the Bundesliga. It remained the Bundesliga's smallest stadium, though.
