What should you know about BayArena?
BayArena is in Leverkusen, in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and has been home to Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen since 1958. It is a football stadium with no running track. All seats are covered by an oval roof, and the stands form a horseshoe shape in a South American style.
The stadium was originally called Ulrich-Haberland-Stadion, named after a former chairman of Bayer, the company that founded the club. It then had a capacity of 20,000. A redevelopment project began in 1986 and proceeded stand by stand: the East Stand in 1986, the West Stand in 1989 and the North Stand in 1991. Work was completed in 1997, creating a modern stadium with 22,500 seats. In 1998, the stadium was named BayArena, and its old name was given to the nearby youth team stadium.
Hospitality boxes were built instead of a regular stand on the south side, giving the stadium its horseshoe shape. From 2007 to 2009, a second tier was added above the East, North and West Stands, new VIP boxes were built between the two tiers, and a new roof was constructed. The stadium was one of nine venues for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, hosting three group-stage matches and one quarter-final.
What is there at the stadium besides the pitch?
A hotel next to the stadium opened in 1999, and some of its rooms overlook the pitch. The complex also has a restaurant overlooking the pitch, as well as conference facilities.
Where do the home fans stand?
During renovations from 2007 to 2009, standing areas for home fans were restored in the northeast corner. After the summer of 2013, the standing area was extended across the first rows of the North Stand. The stadium had a family stand called Family Street as far back as the 1990s; in the 1996/97 season, it was moved to the larger East Stand.
