Matchday Compact: All Information for the Ulm Game
For the first time in 15 years, SV Darmstadt 98 will be visiting SSV Ulm. Before the game at the Donaustadion, we've summarised everything you need to know about Matchday 27 in our "Matchday Compact."
The Stadium
SSV Ulm’s venerable Donaustadion celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. And for the Lilien fans in attendance on Friday evening, it’s time to enjoy one last view. Because it’s quite possible that you won’t see Ulm’s Donaustadion as it is now again. The admittedly somewhat dated stadium, which seats around 20,000 spectators, is slated for renovation. The Ulm City Council approved this on March 19. The modernisation work is expected to cost up to 30 million euros, start „quickly,“ and continue during regular game operations.
