Borussia-Park is located in the North Rhine-Westphalia district of Germany and is the home stadium of the Bundesliga team Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach. It opened in 2004 and was designed to replace M\u00f6nchengladbach\u2019s former home, B\u00f6kelberg Stadium. This was a smaller ground and failed to reach the criteria necessary for the safety of supporters in the modern era.<\/p>\n

The stadium cost around \u20ac85 million to build and contains most of the amenities that you\u2019d expect to find in a modern-day ground. There are VIP lounges, bars for supporters to get a drink in and, as is the case with any stadium worth its salt, a fan shop where supporters can part with their hard-earned cash. The ground can house over 54,000 people but because more than 16,000 of them are in a standing area it is converted into an all-seater stadium for European games.<\/p>\n

Though Borussia-Park is built in the typical \u2018European Style\u2019 of having a bowl of continuous seating, is it still split into four distinct areas for the purposes of easy identification. These stands are named after their geographical location, with the Osttrib\u00fcne to the East etc. Here\u2019s some information on each:<\/p>\n
