High security standards at the BayArena
Bayer 04 review the club's security standards following the attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen constantly work with the club’s events and security management teams plus police and local authorities on the organisation and performance of matches in and around the BayArena not least because of the sad and tragic events in Paris in 2015. The aim of these measures is always to guarantee all visitors and staff an incredibly high standard of security at our stadium.
The attack on the Borussia Dortmund team bus ahead of the Champions League game against AS Monaco has also drawn attention to the security issue. We continually endeavour to improve our security procedures and always be in a position to take appropriate measures as required. We are in constant contact with the police and other security agencies. Bayer 04 aims now and in the future to ensure every visitor and member of staff who enters the BayArena feels safe and secure.

New seating for the BayArena - donation and reuse of existing seats
A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
