Feyenoord and PSV. The average attendance is just over 25,000 spectators. Ever since the stadium was opened (in 1994) the stadium has been in a constant state of redevelopment - in only two seasons (up to 2007) has the shape of the stadium remained the same.The crest on the club emblem is the symbol of the flag of
Friesland , the province where the club is located, and every home game at theAbe Lenstra Stadion is preceded with the Frisian anthem.The club was led from 1983 until September 2006 by president
Riemer van der Velde , the longest tenure of any president with a professional club in the Netherlands.UEFA Cup season 2007-08
