Aspmyra Stadion

The Aspmyra Stadion is far from the biggest stadium in the world with a modest capacity of just 8,270 which comes with pros and cons for visiting supporters.

On one hand, a small stadium means a small away allocation and therefore difficulties getting tickets. On the other, smaller stadiums are more compact, which means a) you are guaranteed to be close to the pitch and b) it is easier to generate noise.

The away section at the stadium is within section c of the Havert-Tribunen, which is behind one of the goals on the left hand side of the stand. The entire away section is a designated safe standing area, so you may find yourself stood for the enitre match as a visiting supporter at the Aspmyra Stadion.

Another downside to the away section is that it is completely open to the elements. If it rains, which isn’t exactly a rarity in Denmark, then you are going to get wet so make sure to pack an umbrella and/or waterproof clothing.

The facilites inside the stadium for away fans are very basic, but there is a toilet at least.

The Aspmyra Stadion prepares for Tottenham visit

Tottnenham fans will make their second trip to the Aspmyra Stadion in six months at the end of Setpember when they travel to Norway to see their team take on Bodo/Glimt in the league phase of the Champions League.

Travelling Spurs fans were last at the stadium back in May for their Europa League semi-final second leg against Bodo. On that occasion, Spurs did enough to qualify for the final, where they famously beat Manchester United to lift the trophy.

Bodo/Glimt fans made a name for themselves across Europe during their run to the Europa League semi finals in 2025 for how noisy they could be. Their most popular and famous song is ‘Bodø/Glimt førr evig’.

Check out a video of Bodo/Glimt supporters chanting below.

Bodo/Glimt fans have produced several tifos over the years, as is the culture in Norwegian football. Some of the most notable can be seen below.

The Aspmyra Stadion has five stands that wrap around the perimeter of the pitch, but none of them are overly big in terms of stature or capacity, with all five spanning just a single tier.

For the best views of the action on the pitch, you are going to want to get tickets in the South Stand, ideally in the hospitality sections in the middle of the stand. Here, you will find luxury boxes and pre-match food and drink.

If you just want general admission tickets, then simply aim to buy tickets as close to this hospitality area as possible, as this is considered the best view of the house.

Opposite the South Stand, is two stands on the north side of the pitch. One of these stands is the old granstand with roofing and a new, more modern stand, without a roof – work that one out!

If you want to find the best atmosphere you will want to stand in one of the stands behind either goal as this is where the noisiest fans are located. Typically the right hand side of the West Stand is your best bet, as the other half of the stadium is taken up by away fans, which creates some good back-and-forth.

There is a dedicated pub for away supporters around a 15-minute walk away from the stadium. This is called Hundholmen Brygghus and can be found at Tollbugata 13, 8005 Bodø, Norway. Other pubs near the Aspmyra Stadium include:

• Piccadilly Pub – Sandgata 4, 8006 Bodø, Norway
• Kaptein Larsen – Storgata 4A, 8006 Bodø, Norway

Food and drink options are very limited at the stadium itself so, if you are hungry, you are going to want to go somewhere else before the match. Some of the best places to grab a bite to eat and a beer near the Aspmyra Stadion include:

• Orion – Sjøgata 22, 8006 Bodø, Norway
• Bryggerikaia – Sjøgata 1, 8006 Bodø, Norway
• Brasilia Bodo – Sjøgata 31B, 8006 Bodø, Norway

The Aspmyra Stadion is located in the centre of Bodo so if you are an away staying in the city, then you won’t have to anything other than walk to the ground. If you are staying outside the city, then you will need to get on a train to Bodo Stasjon and then walk to the ground from there.

There are four different bus route in Bodo that also go to the Aspmyra Stadion, so if you are unable to walk or get lost, then these should be considered. Bus 1 is the best option as it connects with the airport and city centre and drives along the coast to the stadium, giving you a nice view for your trip.

If all else fails, just hope into a taxi.

The capacity of the Aspmyra Stadion is 8,270 and while this is modest, the club have worked hard over the years to get it to the state it is currently in.

The stadium was first built back in the 1960s when bodo were floundering in the lower leagues of Norwegian football. Upon the completion, the stadium only had capacity for around 2,500 supporters, all of which were located in a grandstand of woodern benches on one side of the pitch.

After the club started to climb the pyramid, they decided to make signficant changes to the stadium in the 1990s, to make it UEFA-approved. A new south stand was built with a roof, while another smaller stand was erected on the east end of the stadium. These new stands combined for 4,350 seats and that was enough to receive UEFA approval,

Following Bodo’s Norwegian league title triumph in 2020, another new stand was built at the west end of the pitch, adding a further 660 seats to the capacity. Then, in 2022, a new stand was built on the north side of the pitch to bring the capacity up to what it is today.

Bodo is a small, quaint city with a population of just 50,000. However, that doesn’t mean it should be dismissed, as it was selected as the European Capital for Culture in 2024. Some of the best things to do in Bodo include:

• A boat trip to Saltrstraumen.
• Norwegian Aviation Museum.
• Climb Mount Rovnik
• Bodo Cathedral
• Bodo Bunker Museum

During the 2000’s, the AspMyra Stadion played host to several concerts, most of which were local bands who never made it big outside Scandanavia. However, in 2008, Bryan Adams also played a gig here in front of a packed out stadium. This was the final concert to ever be held here, with other bigger venues now getting the nod over the Aspmyra.

The only other team in Bodo are Grand Bodo, but there hasn’t been as serious footballing rivalry between both clubs since the 1980s, when they were both competing in the same division. Nowadays, Bodo compete for the top honours in Norwegian football, while Grand Bood are languishing in the wilderness.

The Aspmyra Stadion has designated areas for wheelchair users and other disabled supporters. There are also accessible toilets in each stand.

Tickets fluctuate on a match-by-match basis depending on demand and the level of the opponent. Check the Bodo/Glimt website for more concrete information on upcoming match ticket prices.
