Upgrades in 2010
On 29 July 2010, the Faroese National Day, Inni í Vika was reopened after being upgraded. The stadium got a new football field and a new sitting area with roof on the western side of the pitch from the Municipality of Tórshavn, which Argir is a part of. Jógvan Arge, who is chairman for Cultural Affairs of Tórshavn Municipality, held a speech and the mayor of Tórshavn Municipality Heðin Mortensen made the first football kick, kicking the ball to the chairman of AB Andrass Drangastein.[5] Mr. Drangastein also gave a speech and after receiving the ball from the mayor, placed it in the center of the new artificial football field, ready for the match between AB and EB/Streymur.[6]
