Stadion am Bornheimer Hang, multi-use stadium in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany
Stadion am Bornheimer Hang is a football venue in Frankfurt that serves as home to a local team. The facility features stands around the pitch and accommodates thousands of spectators for home matches.
FSV Frankfurt moved to the Bornheimer Hang ground in 1931, and the inaugural match on 11 October 1931 ended 3–0 against VfL Germania 1894. The stadium was converted into a football-only ground between November 2007 and July 2009, reopening on 23 July 2009 with a friendly against Werder Bremen. On 3 June 2016 it hosted Kosovo's first official international, a 2–0 win over the Faroe Islands.
The ground is known in everyday speech as the Stadion am Bornheimer Hang, after the slope it stands on. Its name has changed with sponsors: PSD Bank Hessen-Thüringen took naming rights in February 2018, and after the merger with BBBank in September 2026 the ground became the BBBank Arena. The photograph shows the Frankfurter Volksbank Stadion lettering on the stand roof.
The stadium lies on the Bornheimer Hang beside the Johanna-Tesch-Platz U-Bahn station, with the Eissporthalle/Festplatz station also nearby; the ice rink and the Bornheim family pool are immediate neighbours. The rebuilt ground opened in July 2009 as a football-only venue after floodlight tests, including a full closure of the adjacent A 661, cleared concerns about glare for motorway traffic.
On 27 May 2006 the 1. FFC Frankfurt beat 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam 3:2 here in the women's UEFA Cup final before 13,200 spectators, still the ground's women's football record crowd. The match was played at the home of FSV Frankfurt, whose own women's team lost the 1983 DFB-Pokal final 0:3 to KBC Duisburg on the same pitch.
