MHP Arena

The Mercedes-Benz Arena has been rebuilt three times; its steep lower tier and 2,000-capacity away block are notorious.

MHP Arena has been the home of VfB Stuttgart since 1933, and holds 60,441 spectators for football. The playing surface is grass, and the record attendance of 72,500 was set in a fixture that still gets talked about in Stuttgart.

For a matchday, the ground sits in Stuttgart and is served by local rail and bus routes; arriving 45 minutes before kick-off is the difference between a queue and a seat. Away supporters are usually housed in one corner block, and the atmosphere is loudest behind the goal at the home end.
