Stadium Information
Red Bull Arena, home of RB Leipzig, is a modern football venue built within the shell of the former Zentralstadion and represents one of Germany’s most distinctive stadium redevelopments. Opened in its current form in 2004, the arena sits close to Leipzig’s city centre and features a compact, football‑specific bowl surrounded by the historic outer walls of the old stadium.
With a capacity of around forty‑seven thousand, the venue uses a natural grass pitch and steep stands that keep supporters close to the action, creating strong acoustics and clear sightlines. Matchdays at the Red Bull Arena reflect Leipzig’s modern football identity combined with the city’s growing supporter culture. Fans approach through parkland and open plazas before entering wide, efficient concourses.
Inside, the atmosphere is energetic and organised, with the most vocal support concentrated behind the goals. Large video screens, clean design lines and contemporary facilities give the stadium a polished feel that contrasts with many older German grounds. Food and drink options are extensive and efficiently served, in keeping with Bundesliga standards. The stadium is easily accessible via Leipzig’s tram network, local rail services and major road links, with parking available in nearby areas.
Accessibility provisions include step‑free routes, lifts, wheelchair seating platforms, adapted toilets and dedicated assistance services. The surrounding area includes sports parks, walking routes and open green spaces that make arrival and departure smooth even for large crowds. For RB Leipzig, the Red Bull Arena serves as a modern home that reflects the club’s rapid rise and its emphasis on contemporary infrastructure and matchday experience.
