Ludwigsparkstadion, Association football and American football stadium in Saarbrücken, Germany.
Description
Ludwigsparkstadion is a football and American football venue in Saarbrücken, Germany, with a current capacity of 16,000 following extensive reconstruction. The playing area features modern turf and a lighting system, while covered stands along the longitudinal sides provide shelter during inclement weather.
History
Construction of the ground began in the early 1950s and concluded with its opening in 1953, when the Saarland region still held a distinct political status. Until its integration into Germany in 1956, the facility served as home to the Saarland national team before transitioning primarily to club football.
Culture
The venue takes its name from the adjoining Ludwigspark and serves as a gathering point for regional supporters during home matches of both resident clubs. On match days, nearby streets fill with fans walking together toward the ground, continuing their conversations in local bars after the final whistle.
Practical
Access typically involves several entrances around the perimeter, with most visitors orienting themselves via the main gate near Ludwigspark. Those arriving by public transport will find stops within walking distance of the grounds, making the approach straightforward for match-goers.
Did you know?
Between 2016 and 2021, spectator capacity decreased considerably as the extensive refurbishment prioritized modern standards over sheer size, resulting in a more intimate setting. Before the rebuild, the ground could hold more than double its current number, yet today the tighter layout fosters a closer atmosphere during home matches.
