Red Bull Arena
The Red Bull Arena is located in the immediate vicinity of the Arena Leipzig, which was inaugurated in 2002, the Festwiese and smaller sports facilities. Between 1954 and 1956, the "Stadium of a Hundred Thousand" was built in a construction period of 15 months using rubble and other materials. This central stadium served as an athletics and soccer stadium in the following decades. Its 23-metre-high walls hosted major athletics events, the Leipzig gymnastics and sports festivals and more than 50 international soccer matches.
In 1994, the stadium was closed due to its poor state of repair. The foundation stone for the new construction of a modern soccer arena with around 43,000 seats in the old wall of the central stadium was laid in 2000. The arena subsequently hosted matches as part of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Since 2010, the stadium has officially been known as the Red Bull Arena and is now the home stadium of first division club RB Leipzig.
