After two years of
reconstruction and modernisation works Gottlieb Daimler Stadium was
inaugurated with a stadium festival on July 27-29, 2001.
The following alterations have been
realised in the second reconstruction schedule:
- A second storey accommodating 5,600
spectators was added above the grandstands.
- All benches were changed into individual
seats.
- Forty four boxes with 678 seats plus
1,500 business seats with lounges were built in the inside area of
the grandstands and the new front building.
- Building of a multiple storey car park
directly linked to the new front building with about 900 parking
spaces.
- Additional catering facilities and
improvement of standards for visitors, players and media.
As from 2003 further improvements,
particularly in the catering facilities, should be made in a third
building stage in the opposite stands and the corners. The capacity
should be increased to 60,000 seats.
