Arrival/Parking
Cars/buses:
We recommend the “Große Straße” car park for all fan buses (€15) and car drivers (€5). The parking lot is signposted via the traffic control system from the motorway (Nürnberg junction or BAB exit N-Fischbach). Simply follow the “Guests” signs. The walk to the guest entrance takes about 10-15 minutes. An environmental sticker is not required.
Trains:
Guest traveling by train are guided by the federal police into the subway (line 1 in the direction of Langwasser-Süd) at the main station. The exit point is the “Messe” stop. Then you go through the trade fair car park towards Große Straße, from where the footpath to the guest area of the stadium is signposted. The ticket entitles you to use the subway before and after the game. The walk from the subway station to the stadium’s guest entrance takes approximately 15 minutes.

Disappointment & pride
Darmstadt's 2-1 defeat at Karlsruher SC also ended any remaining theoretical hopes the South Hessian club had of finishing the season in the top three. The loss at the Wildpark stadium served somewhat as a symbol for the past few weeks, during which SV 98 had only managed one point from five matches since the international break in March. Following the game on Sunday afternoon, the Darmstadt players addressed the assembled media representatives with mixed feelings.
Merx hat trick: U21 deservedly wins at Hünfelder SV
Three points! SV Darmstadt 98's U21 team secured a victory in the Lotto Hessenliga on Saturday afternoon (May 2nd). In their match against Hünfelder SV, the young Lilies overcame an early deficit to clinch a convincing 3-1 win. This result puts the U21 team currently outside the relegation zone. "Our trend is clearly upward," said a delighted U21 coach Sebastian Schmitt.
HBRS and SV 98: Cooperation extended indefinitely
The successful collaboration between the Hessian Disabled and Rehabilitation Sports Association (HBRS) and SV Darmstadt 98 will continue long-term: Both partners have extended their existing agreement to promote inclusive sports indefinitely.

After the match, the players were particularly frustrated with the missed opportunities in the first half.

Opposition Check: Karlsruher SC
Left hook, 'One hundred and eightyyyyyyy', and hand over the baton. Doesn't sound like football – and that's true. KSC is often associated with professional football, but with the sheer number of titles the club has won, it's worth looking beyond the pitch. Titles from Baden-Württemberg to Rome.
