The new football hall in Granåsen, which cost approximately 230 million NOK, is facing serious issues as players and spectators are reporting an unpleasant smell and high humidity levels. The facility was last reported on when concerns about black mold were raised, prompting a temporary halt to the watering system and maximum ventilation to be employed. These ongoing issues have not been resolved and there are now reports of new health concerns from users of the hall.

One parent, Beate Røstad, expressed her discomfort after visiting the hall for her son's training match, stating that attendees immediately noticed the foul odor and humidity. Players were also affected by water droplets falling from the ceiling, contributing to a feeling of discomfort among them. This situation not only raises questions about the health and safety of the facility but also concerns for future usage as complaints from both players and spectators suggest a deteriorating environment.

With participants experiencing headaches and discomfort, the continued issues at the Granåsen football hall present potential reputational damage to the facility and its operations. The dissatisfaction among athletes and the community could lead to broader scrutiny and demand for actions to address the ongoing problems. As local authorities respond to these challenges, the emphasis on ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for sports activities remains a pressing priority.
