grass pitch and offers a balanced blend of intimacy and top-flight facilities.

Inside, the home support is concentrated behind the goals, creating sustained noise that carries well around the
bowl.

Food and drink offerings meet Bundesliga standards, with quick service and ample concourse space. The stadium is accessible via regional rail services, buses and major road links, with park-and-ride facilities supporting matchday traffic.
