Color Line Stadion is an association football stadium in Ålesund, Norway, and the home of 1. divisjon side Aalesunds FK.
Whilst Sunde denied it, the statue bore a very strong resemblance to former Aalesund player John Arne Riise.
In 2007, when Riise played in the Champions League Final, a Norwegian commentator demanded the statue officially carry his name.
The venue has hosted one Norway national under-21 football team match, playing 1–3 against Cyprus on 3 September 2010.
[4] In a 2012 survey carried out by the Norwegian Players' Association among away-team captains, Color Line Stadion was ranked eleventh amongst league stadiums, with a score of 2.87 on a scale from one to five.
