Stadium
Moss play their home games at
Melløs stadion, which has a capacity of around 10,000. Because of national rules of professional license for top clubs in Norway, the stadium has only been certified for 3,085 spectators. Built in 1939, it has remained the club's home ground ever since. The record attendance is 10,085, set in 2003 against rivals
Fredrikstad. A higher attendance may have been achieved in 1976 in a match against
Odd, but no precise figure exists for this match because the gates broke down after around 9500 spectators had shown up.
