"The Grolsch Fortress"), previously known as Arke Stadion (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑrkə ˌstaːdijɔn]), is the stadium of football club FC Twente.

[1] De Grolsch Veste replaced the old Diekman Stadion as FC Twente's home ground on 22 March 1998.

The cost of the construction is estimated to have been around 33 million guilders and it took fourteen months to complete, with its foundation stone having been laid on 31 January 1997.

Due to the tight budget available, the layout of the stadium was constructed in such a way that future expansions would be possible without the necessity to tear down entire stands.

On 5 September 2009, for the first time ever an international (friendly) match was played in the FC Twente stadium when the Netherlands beat Japan 3–0.

In December 2009, IAA Architecten released computer generated images of the proposed 44,000+ stadium with an arched 3rd tier, to complete the main stand.
