Panorama Stadium De Kuip - Feijenoord by Vincent Fennis

Stadium Feijenoord, popularly known as De Kuip, is a football stadium in Rotterdam-Zuid (IJsselmonde). It is a stadium with a history of football where the professional football organisation Feijenoord plays its home games. The driving force behind the construction of this stadium was Feijenoord chairman Leen van Zandvliet, after whom the adjacent square was also named. The stadium was designed by the architect Leendert van der Vlugt, Brinkman and Van der Vlugt. Construction began in 1935 and was opened on 27 March 1937. Van der Vlugt died in 1936 and therefore did not experience the opening.

The name of the stadium is spelled in different ways. The owner of the stadium is like 'Stadium Feijenoord N.V.'. (with ij) registered in the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce. This way of playing is also used on the website of the stadium. On the other hand, a y is used in the Rotterdam City Archive, on stationery and above the entrance on the Olympia side: Stadium Feijenoord.
