Arena Regensburg, football stadium
Jahnstadion Regensburg is a football stadium in the city of Regensburg with capacity for over 15,000 spectators and features a red roof and functional design. Inside, it offers covered seating areas, standing zones for home and away supporters, and separate areas for VIP guests and media personnel.
The stadium opened in 2015 and replaced an older facility from 1926 that no longer met modern needs. Planning began in 2012, and the first match took place in July 2015 when the home team, Jahn Regensburg, played against regional amateur players.
The stadium's name comes from the SSV Jahn Regensburg club, whose home fans stand on the Hans-Jakob-Tribüne behind the southern goal, named after the Regensburg player Hans Jakob. The red roof and red outer facade follow the colours of the city and the club, while the rest of the building is mostly white.
The stadium is located near the highway and city center, making it easy to reach by car, train, or bus. The facility is well organized and straightforward to navigate, with clear paths to entrances and seating areas.
The stadium's functional building also houses the Bavarian Football Association's Oberpfalz district office and the FIFA Medical Centre Regensburg, alongside the Jahn club office. The site on Franz-Josef-Strauß-Allee was archaeologically examined before construction because Roman imperial and early medieval settlements lay there.
