Laugardalsvöllur — Attraction in Reykjavik

The idea of building a sport venue in Laugardalur, along with some other entertainment facilities, dates back to 1871. At that time, the population of Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland, was only about 2,000. Laugardalur was also nearly 3 km (1.9 mi) away from residential areas. Little came out of this proposal the next 60 years or so.

In 1943, the town council set up the Laugardalsnefnd committee. Its task was to make proposals and ideas for the area. The committee then delivered the result later, which included building a new football stadium and a new swimming pool.

Construction of the field started in 1949 and lasted until 1952. A year later in 1953, construction of a new stand started. The stand had a capacity of 4,000...

Definitely the biggest and nicest stadium in the country, however, it is showing it's age from both far away and up close. This doesn't subtract from the great seating, close parking, and we'll taken care of pitch. There is talk of a new stadium being built as the national team has produced countless results recently and this current location simply does not have the occupancy necessary anymore. Overall, a nice stadium that is a bit old but does the job for concerts and football...

I saw Guns N' Roses and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Free upgrade to front row standing. Security did an amazing job of stopping things before they got started (no idea why but literally three different people tried starting stuff with me).

This band is amazing. I have a huge celeb crush on Melissa Reese haha. The woman learned 50 songs in two weeks and has been amazing on the Not In This...
