Danny experienced the stadium’s early years as a player and later returned as a coach and member of the Ajax organisation. Daley grew up with the ArenA, celebrated domestic and international success there, and recently returned to Ajax. Together, their stories connect thirty years of Ajax history at the ArenA.
It’s a fantastic stadium, of course
Three decades of the ArenA
In four episodes, leading guests and dedicated staff members take listeners on a journey through their personal memories of the Johan Cruijff ArenA. They share the stories behind some of the most memorable moments of the past thirty years and look ahead to the future of the stadium.
Following the opening conversation with Danny and Daley Blind, the series continues with episodes exploring iconic events, including the hugely successful concert run by De Toppers featuring René Froger, fan experiences with Urby Emanuelson and Kelly Zeeman, and the future of the ArenA with CEO Tanja Dik and Jordi Cruijff.
The podcast series complements Concrete Dreams (Betonnen Dromen), the anniversary book by podcast host and author Arco Gnocchi celebrating 30 years of the ArenA, which is being launched today. Together, the book and podcast bring to life the stories, memories and people behind three decades of the Johan Cruijff ArenA.
