This is what fans are demanding for the new Hertha Arena – BZ Berlin

On the website new-herthastadion.de, some of the Hertha fans have come together and presented criteria that should be taken into account when building a new stadium.

The AG (working group) Stadion calls it a position paper that has been drawn up together with regular stadium visitors. “The main question is how we fans imagine a possible new stadium. Because from all of us this should be one thing above all else: Fan-friendly, so that all spectators can have the best possible stadium experience ”, write the organizers in the introduction.

Among other things, the following is required:

► The smallest possible distance from the grandstand to the pitch

► Good view from all seats

► No printed safety nets behind the goals

► Interior in the club colors blue and white

► Sensible pricing policy

► Good places for people with disabilities

► Ad-free east curve

► No separation fences in the east curve

► Integration of a museum

In conclusion, the creators of the site write: “Using positive and negative examples, in this catalog of demands we give recommendations for important topics.” These have gathered many fans in Germany and around the world.

At the same time they demand that “our demands are actively included in the planning of a stadium. Therefore we welcome the publicly demonstrated outstretched hand of the club officials to take the fans and members of the old lady with us early on. “
