The Ljudski vrt (English: People's Garden, German: Volksgarten) stadium is the only stadium in Maribor that lies on the left bank of the river Drava. The stadium is a natural, cultural, architectural and sports landmark of the city.[2][3] The stadium is named after a public park previously located in the area.[2] A cemetery was also located on the same area before the stadium was built.[4][5] The stadium was opened in 1952 and underwent a major reconstruction in the early 1960s.[2] The club first started to compete in the Ljudski vrt in 1961, when the current main stand was still under construction.[2] The stand is notable for its 129.8 metres long and 18.4 m high concrete arch and is still the main stand of the stadium.[2] In 1994 floodlights were installed and the stadium hosted its first evening match.[2] Since then the stadium went through several renovations.[6] The most notable was the one in 2008 when the stadium was completely refurbished. Presently, it has a capacity of 12,702 seats.[7][8]

Beside being the home ground of Maribor, the stadium also hosts matches of the Slovenia national football team and was their main venue used for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. It was one of two stadiums in the country which hosted the national team in UEFA Euro 2012, 2014 FIFA World Cup, and UEFA Euro 2016 qualifiers.[9][10][11] The record attendance in the Yugoslav era was 20,000 spectators, achieved against Proleter Zrenjanin in the promotion play-off match in 1973, while the record for a Slovenian League match is 14,000 spectators, achieved in the title deciding match in the last round of the 1996–97 Slovenian PrvaLiga season.[12][13]
