Deutsche Bank Park

Deutsche Bank Park, earlier known as Commerzbank-Arena, got built in the place of the old Waldstadion. The last match at the entire Waldstadion was played in 2002, after that the former ground got gradually demolished while the new arena was erected in its place. This meant that Eintracht could keep playing their home matches at the ground.

Deutsche Bank Park, then called Commerzbank-Arena, was formally inaugurated throughout the 2005 Confederations Cup with a match between Germany and Australia (4-3). Throughout the same tournament the ground also was the venue for the final between Brazil and Argentina (4-1). The new arena had come at a cost of €126 million.

One year later the ground was one of the playing venues of the 2006 World Cup. Throughout the World Cup, it staged four first round group matches and the quarter-final between France and Brazil (1-0).

Most notable feature of the arena is its convertible-style retractable roof, though it received temporary negative publicity throughout the Confederations cup final when a defect caused a large stream of water to come down during a thunderstorm.

In 2020, after 15 years having the name Commerzbank-Arena, the ground changed names when the old sponsorship deal expired and a new one was agreed with Deutsche Bank.

Deutsche Bank Park has been selected as one of the playing venues of the 2024 European Championships that are held in Germany.

Deutsche Bank Park is situated in the south of the city of Frankfurt at about 5 kilometres from its downtown area.

The ground lies near where the A3 and A5 motorways intersect. From the A3 take exit Frankfurt-Süd toward the B44. Follow for Stadtmitte. The ground will be signposted with a stadium symbol.

If using public transit, the ground is reachable with S-Bahn lines S7, S8, and S9. From Frankfurt's main rail station (Hauptbahnhof) take train S8 or S9 in the direction of Mainz or Wiesbaden, or line S7 in the direction of Goddellau. Get off at stop Stadion. Line S8 and S9 can also be boarded at other downtown area stations. GeographicReference

An alternative is tram 21, which leaves from the main rail station and crosses directly to the south bank on its way to the ground. Get off at stop Stadion, which is the last on the line. On match days tram 20 follows the same route as tram 21.

From Frankfurt's southern rail station (Südbahnhof) you can take bus 61 to the ground. Take the bus in the direction of Flughafen and get off at stop Stadion/Osttribüne.

Frankfurt has one of Europe's largest airports and has direct connections to pretty much everywhere in the world. The international airport is situated south-west of the city in the same direction as Deutsche Bank Park. In fact, it's just one stop from the airport with S-Bahn line S8 or S9.

Frankfurt's low cost airport, Frankfurt Hahn, is a lot further away though and requires a bus ride into the city, though you could get off at Frankfurt International and take the S-Bahn from there.

Address: Mörfelder Landstrasse 362, 60528 Frankfurt am Main

If you wish to stay close to the arena, then the adjacent Lindner Hotel will be an strong choice. The Holiday Inn Frankfurt Airport, Melia Frankfurt, and Sheraton Frankfurt Congress are decent alternatives, but require some walking to get to the ground.
