 stadium, football / soccer stadium

The New Tivoli is a football stadium in Aachen, that opened on 17 August 2009, replacing the Old Tivoli nearby. It hosts the home matches of Alemannia Aachen in the 2nd. Fußball-Bundesliga (football league). The stadium has a capacity of 32,960 spectators – space for 11,681 standing spectators and 19,345 seats. The (all-)seating capacity for international games is set at 27,250.

The city first suggested the new stadium should be built outside the city, near the local airport. However, the fans wanted the stadium built within the city. After much debate, plans were released in February 2007, showing that the new stadium will be built in Sportpark Soers, the sporting area where the current stadium is situated.
