Ground
De Goffert Stadion
NEC
NEC's home ground is "De Goffert Stadion" in Nijmegen which seats 13,500. It's a hi-tech but ecologically-friendly accommodation  which is situated in a wooded area on the outskirts of the city. All seats benefit from 'above-head' heating - the energy being supplied by 30 solar panels. The rain water used to flush the toilets and to water the pitch is supplied by four large tanks situated in the four corners of the stadium. It's a welcoming and, dare I say it, a cozy (or, for the benefit of our Dutch visitors, "gezellig") and spacious stadium.
