The Fuchs-Park-Stadion (until 2009: main arena in the Volkspark or Volksparkstadion ) is a football stadium with an athletics facility in the Upper Franconian city of Bamberg . The facility is the home ground of Bayern league club FC Eintracht Bamberg and various Bamberg schools as the venue for the national youth games .
history
The Volksparkstadion was created in 1926 on the occasion of the 16th Bavarian State Gymnastics Festival. The capacity at that time was around 15,000 spectators. At the end of the 1930s a covered grandstand was built and the capacity increased to 27,000 spectators. The attendance record also dates from 1946 and 1964 when 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 was a guest or when the amateur international match between Germany and France was played.
In 2008 the old main grandstand was demolished and replaced by a new building with around 1,000 covered seats and around 200 covered standing places.
A renovation from spring 2009 made the main arena suitable for regional leagues. For this purpose, a block separation was carried out and floodlights were installed. The stadium has a nominal capacity of 22,600 spectators, but the interim solution after the renovation initially only offers a good 5,200 spectators for regional league games (approx. 1,000 covered seats, approx. 200 covered standing places, over 4,000 uncovered standing places), while other games can accommodate more spectators be allowed. In August 2009 the name was changed to Fuchs-Park-Stadion through a sponsorship agreement with the local large-scale bakery, Bäckerei Fuchs . The renaming was initially agreed for a period of 10 years.
The stadium is a listed building.
The Sueddeutsche Zeitung praised in 2014 the historical value of Bamberger Fox Park Stadium as follows:
“The stages of our time are characterized by their short life. Only the Willy Sachs Stadium in Schweinfurt and the Fuchs Park Stadium in Bamberg [...] still convey a sense of the importance of sport in the 20s and 30s, when it was embedded in a fundamental social change. [...] The conception of the Willy Sachs Stadium corresponds to the idea of the open-air sports facility, as it was often implemented in Germany in the 1920s. The facility was intended as a leisure park and place to stay for families, as was the Volkspark in Bamberg. "
location
The stadium is part of the Volkspark and is located in the east of Bamberg. Next to the stadium there is an outdoor and an indoor swimming pool. The main arena can be easily reached by car. It is only four to five minutes from the A 73 motorway (Bamberg-Ost exit). With the city bus line 902, stop Stadion , it is connected to local public transport.
use
In the 2008/09 season 1. FC Eintracht Bamberg could not play its home games in the Volksparkstadion because it did not meet the license requirements for the regional league. Among other things, a separate guest area and floodlights were missing. The home games were therefore played in the Waldstadion Weismain .
Since August 2009 the regional league games of 1. FC Eintracht have been taking place again in the Volkspark Stadium, which has now been renamed the Fuchs Park Stadium. Since the 2010/2011 season, the successor club FC Eintracht Bamberg has played in the Fuchs Park Stadium, which is now a national league team.
