Ostseestadion, Football stadium in Rostock, Germany.
The Ostseestadion is a football stadium in Rostock with a natural grass pitch and a capacity of roughly 29,000 seats. The structure includes multiple business areas for sponsors along with different sections for spectators.
The stadium was founded in 1954 and served as the city's sports center for many decades. Following a major renovation in the early 2000s, it took on its current modern form and expanded capacity.
The stadium's name references the Baltic Sea and highlights Rostock's connection to the coast. It has long been home to FC Hansa Rostock and shapes the city's sports identity.
The venue is easily reached by public transport, with direct connections to several bus lines and a nearby commuter rail station. Visitors should expect increased traffic on match days and allow extra travel time.
Parts of the seating can be converted between standing and seated configurations as needed. This flexibility allows the facility to meet different competition requirements without major reconstruction.
