history

In 1945 the foundations for the forest stadium were laid on a steeply sloping forest clearing in northern Weismain. Before it was still a sports field, it was expanded into a stadium by June 1968 by adding a few tiers. In 1985 minor construction work was carried out. In 1995 a small covered standing grandstand was built, which was then extended to the entire outer line. This was followed by the construction of the rear grandstand (standing room), the floodlights and the display panel. In 1996, the back straight was built with nine rows of concrete steps, and 18 more rows of sandstone were added later. These characterize the stadium, inaugurated on April 12, 1997 against 1. FC Nürnberg , which was expanded with the support of the local contractor Dechant.

In the 2008/09 season, the then regional league club 1. FC Eintracht Bamberg played its home games in the Waldstadion, as the local Fuchs Park stadium did not meet the license requirements for the regional league. The SpVgg Bayreuth ( League Bavaria ) already wore out some of their home games at Weismainer Waldstadion.

Attendance records

The stadium was expanded to 17,000 seats on the occasion of 1. FC Nürnberg's guest appearance in the 1996/97 regional league season. "For a day in April", when the Waldstadion in the 5000-inhabitant community was sold out for the first time at the "Franken-Fußballfest", which the club won 2-0. This could only be achieved two more times: in 2002 with a 1: 2 defeat of SC Weismain in a friendly game against FC Bayern Munich , and in 2009 in the friendly game of 1. FC Eintracht Bamberg against Bayern Munich (final score 0: 3).
