The Volkswagen Arena

The Volkswagen Arena, of course named after automobile manufacturer Volkswagen, was finished in 2002 and replaced the VfL Stadion. While the old stadium could accomodate 20,500 spectators, the new Volkswagen Arena has a capacity of 30,000, of which 8,000 places are standing only and the other 22,000 are seating space. The stadium is comparable to other new constructions like Augsburg and Hoffenheim, although it is, unlike the other two, two-tiered.

Wolfsburg's supporters are situtated in the north, the lower tier is standing space only. Visiting supporters are accomodated in the southeast corner. The upper tier is quite steep so even if you're situated in the top of the upper tier you've got a good view.

How To Get There...

By Car & Where To Park

If you come by car, the address of the Volkswagen Arena is "In den Allerwiesen 1, 38446 Wolfsburg, Deutschland".

There are a couple of parking lots around the stadium and you should have no trouble finding a parking spot, for example in the Allerpark (Allerpark 4, 38448 Wolfsburg, Deutschland), which is only a couple of minutes walk away from the stadium.

Average Attendance

After winning the Bundesliga in 2008/09, the stadium was regularly packed and about half of the games were sold out. Since then, interest has dwindled a bit and only a handful of games are sold out, mostly the games against the usual suspects Bayern and Dortmund. Still, the average attendace is quite high.

For nearly all games you should be able to get tickets through Wolfsburg's own ticket shop (German only).
