Carl-Benz-Stadion, Football stadium in Mannheim, Germany.

Carl-Benz-Stadion is a football stadium in Mannheim with four distinct stand sections, where the North and South offer seating while the East provides standing room for supporters. The venue holds tens of thousands of spectators and sits in a well-connected area of the city.

The stadium opened in 1994 to replace an older facility from 1927. It briefly hosted TSG 1899 Hoffenheim during their first Bundesliga season in 2008.

The stadium is named after Carl Benz, who invented the automobile in Mannheim; the city council chose the name in late 1993, and Daimler-Benz AG contributed funds for a display board. The sponsor contract has no time limit, so the name cannot be sold on. Because of residents' complaints, only 27 events a year are allowed, so one club uses it per season.

The stadium sits in the Oststadt district, next to the Rhein-Neckar-Stadion of local rival VfR Mannheim. Because of complaints from residents, only 27 events a year are allowed, so the ground is used by a single club per season; European club matches are exempt from this limit. The city has ruled that the venue always goes to Mannheim's highest-ranked football club.

The stadium's sponsor contract with Daimler-Benz, arranged when the venue was named after Carl Benz, has no time limit, so the name cannot be sold on. The city also ruled that the ground must always go to Mannheim's highest-ranked football club, which has kept it with SV Waldhof since opening.
