The Borussia-Park (proper spelling: BORUSSIA PARK ) is the association's own football stadium of football - Bundesliga club Borussia Moenchengladbach . It is located in the north park of Mönchengladbach.
history
The stadium is the center of the Area of Sports in the North Park of the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Mönchengladbach . The area was used as Ayrshire Barracks North by the British Army of the Rhine until 1996 . It is located in the district of Rheindahlen land in District West .
After the groundbreaking on March 15, 2002, Hochtief began construction on November 13 of the same year. On July 30, 2004, the stadium was officially opened with a small tournament in which, in addition to Borussia, FC Bayern Munich and AS Monaco took part.
For Bundesliga games, the stadium has a total of 54,022 spectators on 37,873 covered seats and 16,149 covered standing places. Since standing places are not allowed at international games, the capacity for these games is limited to 46,287 spectators. The maximum capacity approved by building regulations is 60,250 spectators, which is achieved when the south curve - following the example of the north curve - is converted into standing room. The stadium has 45 business boxes with 684 seats and 2,064 business seats. The audience is divided into two tiers. In the lower tier there is space for 35,067 spectators at league games, of which 14,079 in the north curve and 2,066 in the guest block in the south curve. In the upper tier there are seats for 18,990 spectators. There are also 194 press spaces.
In the Bökelberg Stadium , where Borussia previously played their home games, there was only space for 34,500 spectators, 8,722 of which were seated.
The administration building is located on the west side of the stadium and is also the main entrance to the 250 square meter sports bar. A total of 18,500 square meters is spread over five levels, which are located under the west stand. There is also a connecting passage to the Borussia-8-Grad building , which opened on February 13, 2019. The building houses an H-Hotels hotel on seven floors , the new club museum, a new fan shop, doctor's offices, a rehabilitation center and offices. The investment volume was 31 million euros.
The Borussia Park area covers 264,000 square meters. On it are the stadium, the administration building of the club with football boarding school and restaurant at Hennes-Weisweiler-Allee 1, the hotel with the integrated fan shop, the training area and the club's own parking spaces. In the southwest of the stadium is the ten hectare training area. The area consists of seven large playing fields made of natural grass, a large playing field made of artificial turf, two football cages for training games, an athletic area with a runner's hill and a coordination course.
The construction costs of the stadium amounted to 86.9 million euros. The stadium was financed with 7.65 million euros in equity, a syndicated loan of 43.45 million euros and a loan from the city of Mönchengladbach in the amount of 35.8 million euros. After Borussia had repaid the syndicated loan in full on July 31, 2017, it also completely replaced the city loan with two new bank loans. The two new bank loans resulting from the debt rescheduling totaling 48 million euros are to be paid off by 2029.
Borussia-Park is a Category 4 stadium according to the UEFA stadium classification .
The stadium was selected as one of the venues for the 2011 Women's World Cup on September 30, 2008 . Borussia Park was the tournament's third largest stadium after Berlin and Frankfurt . There were two preliminary round matches and a semi-final match.
During the summer break in 2015 at the stadium were new HD - video screens in 16: 9 format and a new sound system installed. The two video walls have an area of 77 square meters (previously 51 square meters in 4: 3 format).
