The Kras Stadion (also written as KRAS Stadion) is a soccer stadium that is mainly used for the home matches of FC Volendam.
The Volendam stadium has had the name Veronicastadion for a number of years, but since 2002 the name Kras Stadion is used.
The stadium was built in 1975 and consists of four stands, namely the Dr. Duin stand, the Jaap Jonk stand, the Jaap Bond stand and the Pé Mühren stand, together accounting for a capacity of 6,984 spectators (excluding the away section). The away section has room for 400 spectators. The Jaap Jonk stand is home to the Hekside, an atmosphere group.
After construction, the stadium has been rebuilt several times. In the summer of 2010 the old Jaap Jonk stand was demolished and replaced by a new, larger stand. A few years later, the two corners next to the Dr. Duin grandstand were built; these now include skyboxes. In the summer of 2016, the skyboxes on the main grandstand were completely rebuilt.
- Since the 2006/07 season there is artificial turf in the stadium.
