Historical
The first game in the Ellenfeld took place on April 7, 1912 against the Infantry Regiment 105 Strasbourg. The official inauguration of the square was not until July 14, 1912, when the first national Olympic competitions took place in the Ellenfeld. In 1921 the Ellenfeldstadion got its first grandstand , which was built on the English model and offered space for 4,000 spectators. The grandstand was made of wood and burned down in December 1928. In 1933 a new one was built in solid construction across from the old grandstand . In 1948 the club acquired the stadium grounds and the surrounding parcels, with three quarters of the back straight and part of the guest curve ("Spieser curve") remaining in the possession of the Neunkircher Schlossbrauerei. In 1990 the stadium was sold to the city of Neunkirchen for 1.2 million DM due to the threat of bankruptcy . In 2002 the main stand was completely renovated and received a new roof and red bucket seats. The official highest number of spectators (31,000) was reached on May 26, 1971 against 1. FC Nürnberg .
