BayArena
Our home
Perfect view from every seat
Hardly any other stadium in the Bundesliga offers such proximity to the action on the pitch. The distance from the seat furthest to the centre spot is 94 metres – and that with a total capacity of 30,210. It is rare to experience top-class football as closely as at the BayArena. A new era began with the start of the stadium's rebuild on 14 December 2007, which was mainly aimed at modernisation and comfort. A state-of-the-art sports venue has arisen out of the little gem of a ground. Ultras as well as visiting fans, CEOs and families are all equally welcome at our home.

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.
