Stadion u Kranjčevićevoj ulici (), known as Stadion Concordije between 1921 and 1945, also known as Stadion NK Zagreba or Stadion Zagreba between 1946 and 2018 is a multi-purpose stadium located in the north-east part of Trešnjevka neighbourhood in city of Zagreb, Croatia. The stadium at what was then called Tratinska cesta (Tratinska road) began construction in 1911 and was soon halted due to outbreak of Great War in 1914. With the end of Great War in 1918 the construction resumed and was eventually completed in 1921. At the time of its completion it was the biggest stadium in Zagreb and was owned and operated by one of three Zagreb based sports powerhouses named HŠK Concordia. The peculiarity of this stadium is non-existence of the usual athletic track. Instead, a profiled circular cycling track was built, the so-called cyclodrome, unique in Croatia and is used for various cycle and track race formats. With the capacity of 8,850 people, Kranjčević Street Stadium is the second biggest stadium in Zagreb, behind Stadion Maksimir. Currently within the stadium, there are a small number of offices and one restaurant. Today, the stadium is in use and open to public only on the official match days. ==Supporters==
