Went to see Borussia Monchengladbach – Eintracht Frankfurt (0-1). Easy to get to, close by the highway. In the middle nowhere where there is plenty of park space.

Next to the stadium they have great places to drink beers and eat bratwurst. When it rains, it’s just bad luck. Atmosphere was good although it could have been better (Gladbach didn’t play a great match) but all in all a club to recommend. Easy to get tickets (where just delivered to my home address in Holland a few days after booking. Few days before the match starts they also have e-tickets I think.

Borussia Park is a great ground and Gladbach are a great club.
If you want drinks in or around the stadium it is no problem – there is the Fanhaus which is awesome – just don’t wear a Cologne scarf 🙂
There is also now a very large fanpark.
If you have never been before and are making a special trip arrive early and soak up the atmosphere (1330 for a 1530 KO) and stay later (a good hour) – there is plenty of food and drink and lots and lots of friendly supporters to talk to and make you feel welcome.

I went to watch Borussia against Werder game last Friday. We travelled by car from Venlo. Parking was massive and did not have any problems finding a free space. It was 10 Euros. It can get a bit congested before and after the games as attendance is high. We made our way to Fan Zone were supporters sing songs and drink beers. Our friend arranged tickets way in advance so we could stand with the vocal fans behind the goal. 65 Euros for 4 tickets does not sound bad. The game was nice, 6 goals, 2 penalties and very nice atmosphere. Afterwards we got to the car and cleared off quite quickly. Very nice stadium and good support. German fans do not leave early and very often they stay for longer just to applaud their players. This is awesome.

We went to Mönchengladbach vs Bayer Leverkusen on 9th February 2013, getting the bus from Rheydt station having travelled from Cologne. There a few nice bars across the road from the station, including an Irish pub, so I would recommend a few pints here because there is nothing around the ground itself.

The atmosphere in the ground was pretty good but the football dire. Monchengladbach were 5th in the Bundesliga but played like a non-league team. Leverkusen were 2nd at the time and were slightly better, playing mainly on the break. So despite being a 3-3 draw we left feeling German football is not as strong as sometimes suggested.

As per other reviews, leave plenty of time to get to and from the ground, which really is in the middle of nowhere. The stadium itself is a good size but very bland – purely functional with nothing attractive or stylish about any aspect. Nice beer and sausages though.

It’s a great thing that German clubs have still terraces on their stadiums because

1) They create much better atmosphere
2) They pull more young people on matches
3) It’s much cheaper to match matches on terraces, so it’s much more social action there in Germany than in so many other countries.

This is fine counter-attack against current trend run by FIFA, UEFA and corporates to decrease tension, singing, chanting. With terraces there will be great chance to create more noice and make fans bounching like those fans, ultras and barras bravos in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile. So sad that terraces are soon history in Brazil because World Cup investment.

I strongly criticize anti-terrace trend making atmosphere more boring, just like have happened during the last 15-20 years in England. Well done German clubs!

Match visited: Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Greuther Fürth
Date visited: 6 April 2013

We bought our tickets online through the official website. No e-tickets yet, but they arrived at our home by mail a few days after ordering.

We travelled to Mönchengladbach from Düsseldorf Hbf with the S8 commuter train. There were a good few Gladbach fans getting on the same train so there was no doubt we had the right one.

We got off at Mönchengladbach Hbf where the front square was already packed with drinking Gladbach fans. The shuttle buses were easy to find, and while a small crowd had assembled around the buses, it took us only a few minutes to get on one. It took about 20 minutes to get to the stadium.

Borussia-Park is far from pretty from the outside and it lies in a not very appealing area. The pre-match atmosphere is great though with an abundance of beer, sausages, and friendly fans.

We had some good seats at one of the sides with a nice overview over the north terrace where Gladbach’s more fanatic fans are located. They set us back €29 each.

The stadium was well-filled, but the atmosphere far from great, presumably caused by the insignificance of the match, low-profile opponent, and extremely poor football on display.

After the match, a good queue had built up around the shuttle buses and it took about half an hour to get on one. So you might as well take your time leaving the stadium (or rush off 5 minutes before the end).
