The stadium remodelling begins with the demolition of the south and north stands. Once the north stand is back in use after construction, the south stand will be completed. At the same time, the main stand will be demolished. Once the South Stand has been completed, the East Stand will be demolished and the Main Stand will be completed. When the lateral main stand goes into operation, the east stand and the business stand, which is the last to be put into operation, are extended.
The remodelling of the stadium on Gellertstrasse is to take place without interrupting match operations and with a maximum budget of €25 million. A modern arena with 15,000 seats is planned, of which around 9,000 will be seated and 6,000 standing, including a family block and barrier-free seating. The client is the city of Chemnitz.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Yours sincerely
Katja Uhlemann
Press Officer
