The focus of the story is on the one hand the efforts of managing director Jochen A. Rotthaus and his crew from the amateur club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim to turn a professionally functioning business enterprise within a few months. “On the side” he is still responsible for the construction of a 30,000-seat stadium , which is being built on the green meadow in front of the village gates.

On the other hand, the film shows the limits that the management team encounters in the province: The long-serving employees of the association have to adjust to the increased demands and the people in Kraichgau can initially do little with the new claim. The original fans who have cheered the club on in the lowest leagues are initially not very supportive. The largest of five TSG fan clubs has just 80 members. Fan club chairman "Torro" and his colleagues are overwhelmed by the rapid pace of the new football brand.

In addition, the supporters of almost all traditional clubs run storm against the newcomer to the Bundesliga. The lack of tradition and immense financial opportunities of the patron Dietmar Hopp anger football fans across Germany. Only through sporting success and attractive football can economic advancement and acceptance by fans in the rest of Germany be achieved. However, if the team fails, the new stadium's tiers remain vacant, the coffers empty and the club unpopular.

Convince doubters, win sponsors, build a stadium, inspire fans and collect points - the club and the village are observed for three years on this path with promotions and major disappointments.
