GERMANY - Stadium and Arena Development News

I think the base is too strong for a temporary. They probably chose to do the first couple of rows on a steal base and that's it.

Where is Werder going to play while the stadium is reconstructed ?

[Rohne]

It's a temporary stand for the away fans. I will be on it on saturday when Eintracht Frankfurt plays in Bremen. As far as I've heard the stand will be of concrete for Bremen's following home game, but not for us.

British Newspaper says Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund ist the best Football Stadium in the world.

Das Fußballstadion von Borussia Dortmund ist nach Ansicht der „Times“ das beste und schönste der Welt. Die englische Tageszeitung kürte den Signal Iduna Park in einer Rangliste als Top-Arena. Das teilte der BVB am Donnerstag mit. Das Stadion sei ein Klassiker. „Gewaltige Ränge, die die Geräusche mit einer Ohren betäubenden Intensität auf den Rasen zurückwerfen. Dieser Platz wurde für den Fußball und für die Fans erbaut“, heißt es in der Begründung der Zeitung.

I agree with that newspaper. It's surely not a very beautiful stadium and it also has it's little flaws, but it definetely has the best atmosphere of all large stadia in the world.

It depends how you define beauty,IMO it's a brutal Beauty.It's my favorite stadium too,the perfect ground for football.

The only problem with that classification is that #8 of the best stadia in the world,is the Romanian Dinamo Bucharest`s stadium,which is considered by many,even Dinamo`s fans,the ugliest stadium in the country.
Here you can see this stadium.

[Klimako]

dammm Dinamo's sadium is the world's ugliest one!!!!

[mihai_alex]

They probably meant to say Dinamo Moskva or Dinamo Kiev,cause Dinamo Bucharest doesn't have any stalinist statues.

Sad news from Aachen:

Today, Alemannia Aachen had their first game in the new stadium (they lost 0:5 to FC St. Pauli). But the result is not the matter.

A fan of St. Pauli fell over the balustrade, 10m into the depth. He had to get revitalized and came into a hospital.

Get well soon, man!

[Alemanniafan]

This entrance with the guest fans terracing above (in the right of this picture) is where the St. Pauli fan fell down.
I don't have any detailed news and I only saw the Ambulance drive into that section of the stadium.
He's supposed to be in a serious condition with severe head injuries though. That's all I heard so far. I don't know how it happened and where exactly he fell down there, but It seems like he fell inside the stadium between the glass barriers on the side of this block, over the lower handrail in the front, when the fans where celebrating the vitory (probably with the players ???)
There was some advertisement hanging there also, just as you know them from other stadia entrances of this type, so I do hope that helped slowing down his fall a bit, but who knows...
I have no official information, but it seems that he does have some serious injuries.

I'm still pretty shocked and hope he survives it and gets well again.

[ØlandDK]

What a sad opening for such a nice stadium.

Good luck to the St Pauli fan and Alemannia Aachen in the future.

BayArena 2009 - FIRST match

Werkself - Hoppenheim 1:0










=======HOME SWEET HOME=======

Dream start for Werkself at new BayArena
The fans, players and staff at Bayer 04 get the result they wanted. The Werkself seal a 1-0 win against 1899 Hoffenheim in front a 28,000 crowd in the first game at the redeveloped BayArena. Bayer 04's enthusiastic and well-organised approach sees the hosts dominate the game but an excellent performance by Timo Hildebrand in the Hoffenheim goal prevents the home side scoring more than the one goal from Stefan Kießling.
