history
The old stadium in Johannisau, today's B-field , was inaugurated in 1923 and has served as a venue for Borussia Fulda ever since. The new stadium was opened in 1957 without the current grandstand. The game between Fulda and Hessen Kassel in the Regionalliga Süd (this class was called the 2nd division at the time ) set a record number of spectators with 26,000 visitors . For safety reasons, the number of visitors was reduced to 25,000 in the early 1970s and to 22,000 in the early 1980s.
A friendly game between Fulda and FC Bayern Munich in 1997 attracted 20,000 visitors.
From the 2018/19 season, the SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz (until 2018 TSV Lehnerz ) mainly plays its home games in the Sportpark Johannisau.
The city of Fulda plans to modernize and expand the stadium to 10,000 seats by 2023 with adaptation to the requirements of the current assembly guidelines and the regional league. In addition, the rooms such as the changing rooms and the sanitary facilities are to be renovated. In addition to the modernization of the seating and standing areas, the routing in and around the stadium is to be reorganized. The schedule initially provides for the renovation of the standing room in order to disrupt the game as little as possible. The other points of the plan are then processed. The city expects costs in the tens of millions. The city has budgeted 7.2 million euros for this. The remaining funds are to be applied for from subsidies.
