Germany
Borussia-Park
Borussia-Park in Mönchengladbach is the home stadium of Borussia Mönchengladbach. It replaced the smaller Bökelbergstadion, which no longer satisfied modern safety standards and international requirements, in July 2004. Borussia-Park has a capacity of up to 54 000, of which 16 000 are standing-room only due to popular demand. For international games, the standing room is converted into temporary seating for a total seating capacity of 46 000. The new stadium features amenities such as VIP lounges, a fanshop, bar and museum. Despite its large capacity and relative youth, the stadium missed out on holding matches during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, which Germany hosted.
