Red Bull Arena Leipzig P!NK 2024

Information

Red Bull Arena is a football facility located in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. It is the largest football stadium in eastern Germany, and has also hosted music concerts as well as football. The Red Bull Arena is located adjacent to the ARENA Leipzig – which opened in 2002 – the Festwiese, Leipzig's festival grounds, and smaller sports facilities. Between 1954 - 1956, the "Stadium of the Hundred Thousand" was built in a construction period of 15 months using rubble and other materials. In the decades following, this central stadium served as a track & field and football stadium. Large athletics events, Leipzig's gymnastics and sports festivals and more than 50 international football matches took place within its 23-metre-high walls. In 1994, the stadium was closed due to its poor state of construction. In 2000, the ground was broken for the construction of the new modern football arena with around 43,000 seats within the central stadium's old wall. Subsequently, the arena hosted matches during the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In 2010 the building was officially renamed Red Bull Arena and is now the home stadium of the first league RB Leipzig team.

By Train - The Red Bull Arena lies slightly east of Leipzig’s city centre and central railway station. The 2-kilometre walk should not take longer than 20 to 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can take tram 3, 7, or 15 from the main railway station (Leipzig Hbf), which will bring you to the stadium in only 7 minutes. Get off at stop Sportforum.

By Car - If arriving by car, take exit 17 Leipzig-West from the A9 (which runs west of the city). Follow the B181 in the direction of the city. After about 10 kilometres turn left onto the Rückmarsdorfer Straße. Follow (with a slight left onto the Hans-Driesch-Straße) until, after the bridge, you reach the stadium.
