Westfalenstadion is the principal football stadium in Dortmund, Germany, and the home ground of Borussia Dortmund. Opened in the 1970s and later expanded and modernized, it is one of Europe’s largest-capacity club stadiums.

The stadium is renowned for its energetic atmosphere, especially on the Südtribüne or “Yellow Wall,” a massive standing terrace that concentrates tens of thousands of home supporters. Regular match-day features include full-capacity crowds for Bundesliga fixtures, highly visible fan choreography and a club museum with stadium tours.

Located in the Dortmund district of Hörde in North Rhine-Westphalia, the stadium is well served by public transport and is a focal point for regional sports events and concerts.

Visitors should expect heavy demand for tickets on match days; guided tours and the club museum provide alternative ways to experience the stadium outside match times.

• Capacity and tenant: Home stadium of Borussia Dortmund with a maximum football capacity around 81,000 for domestic matches and reduced seating for international fixtures.
• Yellow Wall: The Südtribüne standing terrace houses approximately 25,000 supporters and is widely regarded as one of the most intense spectator sections in world football.

What to See#

• Südtribüne (Yellow Wall): The Südtribüne, known as the “Yellow Wall,” is the stadium’s large standing terrace and Europe’s largest free-standing grandstand, famous for its concentrated supporter atmosphere.
• BVB Museum and tours: The BVB museum and club visitor facilities adjacent to the stadium that chronicle Borussia Dortmund’s history and offer regular stadium tours.

Westfalenstadion (Signal Iduna Park) is in Dortmund and is well served by the city’s public transport. From Dortmund Hauptbahnhof take local S‑/U‑bahn or tram services that run toward the Stadion area and alight at the dedicated stadium/station - a short walk (typically 5-15 minutes) brings you to the stadium entrances.

By car, follow the A40/A45 motorways and local Dortmund highway signs to Signal Iduna Park; allow extra time for matchday traffic and use designated stadium parking or park‑and‑ride facilities.

• Use public transport to reach the stadium on matchdays-local trains and metro connections are faster than trying to drive and parking is extremely limited.
• Book the stadium tour and museum on a non‑match weekday morning to get behind‑the‑scenes access with far fewer visitors than on weekends.
• If you want to stand on the famed Südtribüne (the Yellow Wall), buy tickets for that section well in advance; those tickets sell out fast for big matches.
