We present you with venues of Europe's finest competitions. Although Robert Lewandowski will be missing from the German stadiums this time, they are still worth getting to know. The next Bundesliga season, already the 60th in history, will start today. Germany: The 2022/23 Bundesliga stadiums have arrived!.How Signal Iduna Park compares to other Bundesliga stadiums? For its great sightlines, steep stands and unique atmosphere this stadium is often named among best football grounds in the world. 8 massive pylons were thus raised on the outside of the roof, bearing the weight and allowing for inner supports to be removed. Large supports of the roof were placed in the corners and had to be removed not to block sightlines of fans in new corners. Building new sections was not a problem, but roof of all other stands was in the way – literally.
To fulfill FIFA’s requirements corners that had been empty from 1974 were filled with seating. Last redevelopment so far came before Westfalenstadion’s 2 nd World Cup, the one in 2006. Now renowned for great atmosphere, Sudtribune is still the biggest of its kind. Since then it has been the largest standing terrace in Europe with a total of 24,454 people accommodated behind one goal only. Two years later the numbers went up one more time, now thanks to adding second tier to the north end and extending the southern stand with standing room. 54,000 people could again watch BVB thanks to second tier over two stands alongside the pitch in 1995. So the club, being the first one in German history, decided to finance expansion works that would bring the venue to its former number of spectators. Then regulations requiring more seating were introduced and forced a decrease in capacity to 42,800.īut that period was Borussia’s great run of successes both domestically and in European football. Capacity stood at 54,000 and remained that way until 1990’s. Not as much as was planned for Cologne – instead of a big multi-use stadium worth DM60 mln, four simple stands were raised from prefabs along the pitch for half the price. Along with hosting the tournament, money for a new ground came. Then the unexpected happened when Cologne lost their spot in 1974 World Cup host-city list and Dortmund jumped in. The municipality couldn’t afford that, though, and regional authorities weren’t willing to subside.
