Stadion Rote Erde, Football stadium in Dortmund, Germany.
Stadion Rote Erde is a football stadium in Dortmund with a main grandstand, a running track, and concrete terraces that can hold up to 25,000 spectators. The facility sits right next to Signal Iduna Park and is used for reserve team matches and athletic competitions.
The stadium opened on June 6, 1926, with a match between Dortmund and FC Wacker München. It served as home to Borussia Dortmund until 1974, when the club moved to the new Westfalenstadion.
The stadium maintains its status as an architectural heritage monument of North Rhine-Westphalia, designed by architect Hans Strobel in the 1920s.
The stadium continues to host matches of Borussia Dortmund II and local athletic clubs. Admission to women's team games is free.
The name refers to the clay-rich soil of the surrounding industrial zone in southern Dortmund. Hans Strobel designed the stadium in the 1920s, and it is now a protected monument in North Rhine-Westphalia.
