BRITA-Arena, football stadium

BRITA-Arena is a football stadium in Wiesbaden with four stands under grey roofs around a green pitch. The main stand has red and white seats, and the opposite stand has grey seating. The stadium holds 12,500 spectators in 3. Liga matches, all under cover, including about 5,800 standing places. A concrete west stand replaced the original tubular steel structure in 2021.

Built in just four months and opened on 11 October 2007 with a friendly against Borussia Dortmund (1:2), the arena replaced the Stadion am Halberg in Taunusstein after SV Wehen's promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. The first league match followed on 21 October 2007 against 1. FSV Mainz 05 (1:3). The tubular-steel west stand was demolished in 2019 and replaced by a concrete structure completed by 2021; a 2018 agreement keeps the club playing here until 2047.

The stadium sits in the Helmut-Schön-Sportpark between Gustav-Stresemann-Ring, Berliner Straße and Wettiner Straße. It is a pure football ground with no athletics track, so front-row seats are about five metres from the pitch. Entry is via gates such as "EINGANG 2" on the grey-panelled facade. Sightlines to the goal line are good only from the first rows of the end stands.
