About Deutsche Bank Park
Deutsche Bank Park, still affectionately called the Waldstadion, holds around 58,000 for Bundesliga matches and is home to Eintracht Frankfurt, whose European nights are famous for their noise and colour. The Nordwestkurve behind one goal is the ultras’ terrace and the beating heart of the support, with the Haupttribüne (main stand) on the west side and the Gegengerade opposite. Standing areas convert to seats for international games, lowering capacity. The forest setting, membrane roof and glowing video cube give it a distinctive feel, and central Haupttribüne seats offer the best all-round view.
Set in Frankfurt’s Stadtwald forest, the original Waldstadion dates to 1925 but was completely rebuilt for the 2006 World Cup, giving it a translucent membrane roof and a striking central video cube suspended over the pitch. A retractable inner roof can close the centre in bad weather, and the tight rebuild brought fans close to the action.

Seats to avoid & obstructed views
Back rows of the upper tiers: The highest seats sit well back from the far goal in a big bowl.
Front of the lower behind-goal blocks: Low angle behind the net makes far-end play hard to follow.
Corners by the away segregation: Buffer zones and a flatter atmosphere on the visiting-fan boundary.
Some lower rows under the roof edge: Wind-driven rain can still reach seats near the open front of the canopy.
Accessibility & companion seating
The rebuilt stadium provides wheelchair and companion positions with step-free access, lifts and accessible facilities, bookable in advance through Eintracht Frankfurt’s ticket service. Accessible parking and assistance are available on request.
Where: Wheelchair spaces are placed around the lower tier including central and behind-goal locations.

Getting there
Transport
Tram lines 20 and 21 run to the Stadion stop right outside, and matchday S-Bahn services (S7, S8, S9) call at Frankfurt Stadion station a short walk away. Large forest car parks serve the ground, but the tram and S-Bahn from the Hauptbahnhof are quick and easy.
The area
The stadium sits deep in the Frankfurter Stadtwald, a large city forest south of the centre near the Commerzbank-Arena sports park and the swimming stadium. It is a green, self-contained sports setting rather than a shopping district.
