On Friday evening (October 4th/6:30pm) SV Darmstadt 98 will be guests at Karlsruher SC in the BBBank Wildpark. Important in advance: for those who decide at short notice, a box office opens on match day an hour and a half before the game starts, cash and card payments are possible and the daily box office surcharge is 2 euros.
Cars, nine-seaters, coaches:
To arrive via Autobahn 5, it is recommended to leave it at the Bruchsal junction, continue on federal highway (B) 35 in the direction of Graben-Neudorf and take the B36 to Karlsruhe. Leave the B36 at the Karlsruhe-Neureut exit and continue along Linkenheimer Landstrasse and Willy-Brandt-Allee onto Adenauerring in the direction of the stadium. The arrival for guests is marked accordingly by traffic signs. In general, it should be noted that the suggested route of a navigation device to the stadium may differ from the route mentioned above. If, contrary to expectations, one or two vehicles do not leave the federal highway 5 in Bruchsal and continue on to Karlsruhe, the following route should be chosen: Leave the A 5 at the Karlsruhe-Mitte junction (exit 45). Then you have to follow the southern bypass (K9657) towards Wörth. You then leave the southern tangent at Bulacher Kreuz (exit 4) and take Brauerstraße towards the city center. Then you have to follow this street (Brauerstraße becomes Rheinhold-Frank-Str., then Adenauerring) towards the stadium. The arrival for guests is marked accordingly by traffic signs.
Parking:
The approach for away fans is exclusively from the direction of Mühlburger Tor (west). Guest buses park in the new guest parking lot (see image). There are also limited parking spaces available for cars. Important: We were told the following parking fee from Karlsruhe: cars and nine-seaters pay 10 euros, coaches pay 20 euros. The “Birkenparkplatz” opposite the stadium is no longer intended as a purely guest parking space, but still offers parking options as long as there is space there.
By train:
At Karlsruhe train station it is possible to store luggage in lockers. The lockers can be found in the west wing of the station hall to the right of the McDonalds branch or between platforms 12 and 13 in the underpass to the long-distance bus station. You can travel by public transport via the Durlacher Tor, Kronenplatz or Marktplatz stops and walk about 20-25 minutes through the castle gardens. A shuttle bus runs from Durlacher Tor to the stadium. After the game, the buses will return to Durlacher Tor from the Adenauerring/Theodor-Heuss-Allee intersection 30 minutes after the final whistle. The admission ticket is valid as a ticket for free return travel on match day in the KVV network area. The KVV tariff and transport conditions apply.
