Goffertstadion
Since 1951 the opening of the International Four Days Marches Nijmegen, the so-called Vlaggenparade, a parade with the national flags of all participants is held in the stadium.This promenade has a double function: It prevents supporters from entering the playing ground while at the same time containing food and beverage outlets as well as bathrooms.In November 2007 the board of NEC and the city of Nijmegen presented new plans for De Goffert.[1] This hill will also serve as a home for basketball (Matrixx Magixx), judo and other sports, creating a 'House of Topsports'.The strange, but innovative, design is needed because the city will not allow the stadium to grow in height because of the Goffert Park, which is a protected nature-site.
