Although remember AZ did have a fairly quick rise to a high-level of Dutch football, reaching the UEFA Cup final in 1981 where they lost 5-4 on aggregate (IIRC) to Ipswich Town!

Ha ha! Was a good opportunity to sit in the North Bank, too. I seem to remember there being about 10 Vitesse fans in one corner of the West Stand. They were enjoying themselves!

Their ground / arena / stadium / bowl / whatever you call it these days, has not only a retractable roof but a retractable pitch which helps them to stage other sporting and social events.
The ground is purpose built and a few miles out of town - and yes, you do have to cross that bridge to get there. If you get a tram to the ground, get it from the town centre. I found to my cost that they all fill up there and therefore don't stop en route.
When you get there, the away section is partitioned to the roof by perspex blocks, so you get the feel you're at a leisure centre waiting in the balcony for your five-a-side pitch booking to start.
When I went to see them Pierre Van Hoojdonk was up front and Ronald Koeman was their manager. They were a pretty tidy side.
I have no idea how they're doing now but Arnhem is nice, gentlemen's club excepting (and your eyes would pop out if you saw what they were watching). We should definitely have a return leg.
