Entry Situation

The stadium has four entrances, which are divided into home and away sections:

  • Home section (north, south and main stands as well as opposite stand): Access via the entrances South-West (Lilienschänke), North-West (Karl-Hess-Platz) and South-East (Traisaer Straße)

Guest Fans

  • Coaches: Parking lot P7 via Klappacher Straße/Böllenfalltorweg
  • Cars and minibuses (up to 2m height): Can access the public parking garage P8 of TU Darmstadt via Heinrichstraße/Eugen-Kogon-Straße.

  • Coaches 25€
  • Minibuses 10€
  • Cars 6€

Please pay attention to the detailed Arrival Information and only use the „North-East“ entrance on Böllenfalltorweg.

Coaches should contact our fan support team in advance to receive directions.

Stop throwing cups!

During recent matches, we have observed an increasing number of cups being thrown, and as a result, we will not only receive penalties from the DFB (German Football Association) sports court but have also had to issue numerous nationwide stadium bans of up to two years.

Please refrain from throwing objects! You are endangering others and committing dangerous bodily harm under Section 224 of the German Criminal Code. It is irrelevant whether someone is actually hit and injured by the cup.

Cannabis use remains prohibited

The consumption of cannabis remains prohibited under current legislation (prohibition in sports facilities).

Away fans in home sections

Based on recent experiences, SV 98 would like to draw your attention to the following rules and precautions that apply to this match:

Wearing away team items is not permitted in the areas of the opposite stand (blocks G1-G3, A, O2 to O4) and the south stand.

The club, the police, and the stadium management are authorised to deny away fans access to these areas, even if they possess a valid ticket, and/or to remove them from these areas and, if sufficient space is available, to take them to the away section of the stadium. If no other suitable seat can be offered, the away fan in question may be removed from the stadium or denied entry; in this case, no compensation will be provided.

Theme area full standing room blocks

This match is also expected to see almost full standing blocks. SV 98 therefore asks all fans to arrive early and, as soon as the stadium opens, to take up positions as far away from the stairs and block entrances as possible. Under no circumstances should fans stand on the stairs or directly in the entrance area. Your friends in your block may not be able to get into the stands or leave safely – regardless of medical assistance. We can only succeed together!

Experience shows that there are usually still gaps, especially in the lower rows and on the outer edges of the blocks, while there is a bottleneck at the block entrance at kickoff. Furthermore, fewer standing tickets were sold than permitted. Nevertheless, everyone’s cooperation is needed to ensure a pleasant experience for all fans.

Weather

Temperatures of around 13 degrees Celsius are expected in Darmstadt under cloudy skies. There is an 80 percent chance of precipitation.
