On Sunday (12.05./3.30pm) SV Darmstadt 98 welcomes TSG Hoffenheim and asks you to pay attention to the following information.
The game starts at 3:30pm. The north-west entrance “Karl-Hess-Platz” opens for you two hours before kick-off (1.30pm) so that you can already be in the area around the south and main stands.
Access to the stands and the back straight, the north stand and the guest block is possible from 2 p.m.
The parking garage for away fans opens at 12.30pm.
If possible, SV 98 asks all Lilien fans to come to the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor early and by public transport, on foot or by bike. The journey with the RMV is included in the ticket price.
For drivers from the surrounding area, it is advisable to go to parking garages or parking spaces in the city center or neighboring towns and then take the bus or train from there.
In addition to the parking spaces at the Böllenfalltorhalle, cyclists have also been able to use other parking spaces on Traiser Straße since April, which are made available in cooperation with TEC Darmstadt.
The stadium has four entrances, which are divided into home and away areas:
Arrival: Please pay attention to the detailed arrival information.
During the last home games we noticed an increase in the throwing of cups and as a result we not only received penalties from the DFB sports court for this, but also had to issue numerous nationwide stadium bans. Please refrain from throwing objects! You are endangering other people and committing dangerous bodily harm in accordance with Section 224 of the Criminal Code. It doesn’t matter whether someone is actually hit and injured with the cup.
The consumption of cannabis is still prohibited based on the current legal situation (ban in sports facilities).
For this game, too, it is to be expected that the standing areas will be almost completely filled to capacity. SV 98 therefore asks all fans to arrive early and to occupy seats as far away from the stairs and block entrances as possible from the moment the stadium opens. Under no circumstances should fans stand on the stairs or directly in the entrance. As a result, your friends in your block may not be able to get into the stands or, regardless of medical service operations, not be able to leave them without worry. It only works together!
Experience has shown that there are still gaps, particularly in the lower rows or the outer areas of the blocks, while there is a build-up at the block entrance at the start of the game. Furthermore, fewer standing room tickets were sold than would have been permitted. Nevertheless, everyone’s support is needed to ensure a pleasant stay for all fans.
In slightly cloudy conditions at the Böllenfalltor, the temperature climbs to a maximum of 25 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. The chance of precipitation is 25 percent in the afternoon.
