BORUSSIA-PARK: Home of Borussia Mönchengladbach

BORUSSIA-PARK, located in Mönchengladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, is more than just a football stadium; it's a landmark and the heart of Borussia Mönchengladbach. Opened on July 30, 2004, it replaced the historic Bökelbergstadion, which had become too small and outdated for the club's ambitions. The stadium's construction cost around €85 million. The stadium boasts a capacity of 54,022 for Bundesliga games, including 37,877 seats and 16,145 standing places. For international matches, the standing areas can be converted to seating, reducing the capacity to 46,249. BORUSSIA-PARK includes VIP lounges, a fan shop, the FOHLENWELT museum, the FOHLENSPORTSBAR, and a Bitburger beer garden. While it missed out on hosting matches during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, BORUSSIA-PARK hosted several matches during the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. The stadium offers guided behind-the-scenes tours, providing access to areas like the changing rooms, players' tunnel, and pitch side.
