Skagerak Arena -  Capacity: 13,500
Odd (Falkum) Stadium (13,500). Largest crowd: Approx 12,500 people in 1984 cup semi final against Viking. The stadium was rebuilt to hold a capacity of between 13,000 and 14,000, and was finished in 2008. It is named Skagerak Arena after local sponsor Skagerak Energi.

It was formerly called Odd Stadion, and was built in 1923 as the home ground of Odd Grenland Ballklubb. The stadium is often referred to as Falkum, being situated in that area of Skien.  It has gone through a huge redevelopment since 2006.  The pitch has been rotated 90 degrees in order to free up space. As is increasingly common in Norway, the new surface is artificial. The old main stand is now an end stand, incorporated into the new structure as the only surviving feature of the old stadium. Three new two-tiered stands have been constructed. The east and west stands will each has a capacity of 4,300 while the south end seats 3,000.

Who Plays There?
Odd Grenland is a Norwegian football club from Skien, a main town in the district of Grenland which is around 100km south west of Oslo. It was founded in 1894 and are the club which has won the Norwegian Cup the most times, the last time being in 2000.
Idrætsforeningen Odd was founded in 1885 and is thus one of the oldest athletic associations in Norway still in existence. The name derives from Viktor Rydberg's novel Seierssverdet (Victory Sword), where one of the main characters was a Norwegian athlete called Orvar Odd.

After struggling in the lower divisions for many years, the club finally made it back to the Norwegian Premier League (Tippeligaen) in 1999 and stayed there until they were relegated in 2007. In 2006 the team only survived relegation by beating Bryne F.K. in the relegation playoffs. In 2007 however, their luck ran out, and they were relegated to the Adeccoligaen after being beaten by Bodø/Glimt in the relegation playoffs. In 2008, with three games still to play, Odd secured the promotion back to the Norwegian Premier League after winning 4-0 against Hødd .
