Stadium
Landskrona IP was built in 1924, the same year as the first season of Allsvenskan. On July 20, 1924 an opening ceremony was held, where the Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf and Princess Louise inaugurated the stadium in front of 6,000 spectators.
As a part of the opening ceremony, the first match ever was played. It was a friendly match between Landskrona BoIS and B 03 from Denmark. The Danes won the match 3-2.
The first match in Allsvenskan on Landskrona IP was on August 10, 1924, when BoIS played IFK Göteborg and lost 4-0.
The record attendance is 18,535, and was set on October 18, 1959 in a qualifying match to Allsvenskan, against Degerfors IF. Today the record is impossible to beat, because the capacity of the stadium has been reduced to 12.500, due to safety regulations. Recently, there have been discussions about a renovation of the stadium, but also about the building of a new one, with a capacity of 14,000 spectators.
