MAGE SOLAR Stadion
Key facts
Club: SC Freiburg | Opening: 1954 | Capacity: 24,000 (10,000 standing)
History and description
The MAGE SOLAR Stadion, originally called Dreisamstadion, opened on the 4th of September 1954.
The Dreisamstadion was initially a modest affair, and it took until 1970 for the first major stand to be erected.
The stadium got further expanded in 1980, which included the construction of a main stand and additional terraces. This resulted in a capacity of about 15,000.
The Dreisamstadion got its current shape in the 1990s when all four stands got either rebuilt or renovated.
The stadium changed names to Badenova-Stadion in 2004 as a result of a naming rights deal, and again in 2012 after a new deal was agreed with sponsor Mage Solar.
The MAGE SOLAR Stadion has solar panels installed on its roofs which cover (part of) the stadium’s energy needs.
SC Freiburg is currently contemplating a move to a new stadium and has started a study for possible locations in the Freiburg region.
