The Ulrich Haberland Stadium (until 1998 Small Haberland Stadium ), named after the chemist Ulrich Haberland , is a football stadium in Leverkusen in the direct vicinity of the BayArena .
The second team from Bayer 04 Leverkusen played in the Ulrich Haberland Stadium until the renovation of the neighboring BayArena began in July 2008 . During the renovation of the BayArena, the Ulrich Haberland Stadium was not open for games. During this time, Bayer 04 Leverkusen's second team played their home games temporarily in Cologne's Südstadion . At the beginning of the 2010/11 season, she should return to Leverkusen, and from then on the women's team and the men's U-19 team play here. As a special permit from the DFB was required for use in the then fourth-class regional league due to the low capacity , the return was delayed. The application for this was made in October 2010 and approval was granted a month later. As of January 2011, the Ulrich Haberland Stadium was once again the home ground for Bayer 04 Leverkusen's second team and the women's team. Since the dissolution of the second team in summer 2014, only the professional women and now the U-19 team of men have played their home games there.
On August 3, 2013, the Ulrich-Haberland-Stadion was the venue for the first DFB-Pokal match of the then league club Sportfreunde Baumberg from Monheim am Rhein , which had to move to the Leverkusen stadium due to the infrastructure. Baumberg lost in this game to the then second division club FC Ingolstadt 04 with 1: 4.
Due to the renovation of the BayArena, a two-storey VIP and press tent was built on the site. The tent was designed for up to 800 visitors. During the second half of 2008/09, the area was used for construction equipment and materials, and a renovation took place. The only covered grandstand was torn down and replaced with a new one, and turf heating was also installed.
The original plan was to expand the stadium to 5,000 seats instead of obtaining a special permit. However, these plans were postponed. Before the last renovation, in which the fences were moved and the steps expanded, the capacity had already been 5000 seats.
