'''Extra Arena''' (previous called '''Ranheim Stadion''') is the home ground of the [Norwegian](/source/Norway) [football](/source/association_football) club [Ranheim Fotball](/source/Ranheim_Fotball).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ranheimfotball.no/om-stadion |title=EXTRA ARENA |website=www.ranheimfotball.no |language=no |access-date=7 April 2018}}</ref> It is located in the [Ranheim](/source/Ranheim) area of [Trondheim Municipality](/source/Trondheim_Municipality). A stand with about 1,000 seats under cover and a provisional stand with about 750 seats was built in 2010 to comply with the [Norwegian Football Federation's](/source/Norwegian_Football_Federation) seating capacity requirements for the top two divisions. The stadium's capacity was further enlarged in 2016 to comply with the 3,000 seats capacity requirements of the top division, [Eliteserien](/source/Eliteserien).

The municipal [library](/source/library) ''Ranheim bibliotek'' and the gym ''3T-Ranheim'' are integrated into the main stand's building.

==History==
The construction of grass pitch at the stadium was completed in 1939 at a cost of {{NOK|8000|link=yes}}. The stadium had to be rebuilt after [World War II](/source/World_War_II). 5,000 spectators visited the reconstructed stadium at the first official post-war game against [Vålerengen](/source/V%C3%A5lerenga_Fotball) in 1946.<ref>En eim av Petterøe's Blå. [Adresseavisen](/source/Adresseavisen), 10 April 2010. Retrieved 10 April 2010.</ref>

Extra Arena is a part of a larger sports facility complex named Ranheim Idrettspark. Planning of a redevelopment of Ranheim Idrettspark was made in 2005, but due to Ranheim Fotball's promotion to the second tier ([1. divisjon](/source/1._divisjon)) in [2009 season](/source/2009_2._divisjon), [Trondheim Municipality](/source/Trondheim_Municipality) wanted to speed up the process and finance an upgrade of Ranheim Idrettspark, e.g. a new artificial pitch with an underground heating system. This was an important step in Ranheim's stadium redevelopment needed to meet [NFF](/source/Football_Association_of_Norway)'s requirements for football stadiums in the two highest divisions.

Ranheim Fotball itself organised the expansion of the stands with approximately 1,000 covered seats and new floodlights facilitated TV broadcasting. The completion of the redevelopment was scheduled for 10 July 2010, in time of Ranheim's first home game after the summer break in the [2010 season](/source/2010_1._divisjon),<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ranheimfotball.no/n40/Ranheim-stadion-ny-nummer-2-arena-i-Trondheim|title=Ranheim stadion - ny nummer 2 arena i Trondheim|website=ranheimfotball.no|publisher=Ranheim Fotball |language=no |date=23 February 2010 |access-date=24 February 2010 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724084102/http://www.ranheimfotball.no/n40/Ranheim-stadion-ny-nummer-2-arena-i-Trondheim|archive-date=24 July 2011}}</ref> but it was not finished until later that season.

Provisional stands with a total capacity of 750 seats was erected by volunteers, which increased the total capacity to 2,000 seats.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ranheimfotball.no/n40/Ranheim-stadion-ny-nummer-2-arena-i-Trondheim|title=Ranheim Stadion blir nye DnB NOR Arena|publisher=Ranheim Fotball|date=6 July 2010|access-date=7 July 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724084102/http://www.ranheimfotball.no/n40/Ranheim-stadion-ny-nummer-2-arena-i-Trondheim|archive-date=24 July 2011}}</ref> The renovated arena was first used on 11 July 2010 in a [1. divisjon](/source/1._divisjon) game Ranheim lost 1–3 against [Løv-Ham](/source/L%C3%B8v-Ham_Fotball). 656 spectators paid to follow the match.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://fotball.adressa.no/forstediv/article174093.ece |title=Ranheims åpningsfest ble avlyst |language=no |website=www.adressa.no |publisher=[Adresseavisen](/source/Adresseavisen) |date=12 July 2010 |access-date=19 March 2019 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100713234045/http://fotball.adressa.no/forstediv/article174093.ece |archive-date=13 July 2010}}</ref> However, the official opening of the new arena was held on 26 September 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ranheimfotball.no/n474/-pning-av-DnB-NOR-Arena-meld-deg-paa-skytterkongen|title=Åpning av DnB NOR Arena, meld deg på skytterkongen|website=www.ranheimfotball.no|publisher=[Ranheim Fotball](/source/Ranheim_Fotball)|date=25 September 2010|access-date=3 October 2010}}{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Ahead of the 2016 season, a new section of seated stands was built. The stand has a 1,500 capacity, which, including provisional stands, increased the total capacity to 3,000 .<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ranheimfotball.no/latest-news/article/tn7f33qgs58a1xakamuo8s7z9/title/ny-tribune-til-2016|title=Ny tribune til 2016 |trans-title=New stand to the 2016 season |language=no|date=21 May 2015 |access-date=19 March 2019 |publisher= Ranheim Fotball |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005190050/http://www.ranheimfotball.no/latest-news/article/tn7f33qgs58a1xakamuo8s7z9/title/ny-tribune-til-2016|archive-date=5 October 2016}}</ref> 3,000 is the minimum number of seated capacity required in [Eliteserien](/source/Eliteserien).

==Naming rights==
On 5 July 2010, Ranheim presented [DNB ASA](/source/DNB_ASA) as their new main sponsor and announced that the naming rights of the stadium was sold to DNB. The new name of the stadium became DnB NOR Arena.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ranheimfotball.no/n324/Ranheim-Fotball-innkaller-til-pressekonferanse|title=Ranheim Fotball innkaller til pressekonferanse|website=www.ranheimfotball.no|publisher=Ranheim Fotball|date=5 July 2010|access-date=7 July 2010}}{{Dead link|date=August 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

In March 2017, the stadium's naming rights were sold in a six-year deal to Norwegian [cooperative](/source/cooperative) [Coop Norge](/source/Coop_Norge) who wanted to use the stadium name to brand ''[Extra](/source/Extra_(Coop))'', their discount supermarket chain.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ranheimfotball.no/nyheter/velkommen-til-extra-arena |title=Velkommen til EXTRA Arena |trans-title=Welcome to EXTRA Arena |website=www.ranheimfotball.no |publisher=[Ranheim Fotball](/source/Ranheim_Fotball) |language=no |date=9 March 2017 |access-date=24 April 2019}}</ref>
