Background: The ad hoc Arena and Arrival
The match will be held at the ad hoc Arena (historically known to many as Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld). Following the complete stadium renovation, the venue offers space for exactly 12,630 spectators. The stadium is located directly on the Saale in the Jenaer Paradies. Since knockout matches of this magnitude naturally generate high spectator interest, fans are strongly advised to arrive early.
Traffic Information: Parking capacities around the stadium in the Oberaue are very limited. Local residents and arriving fans should switch to public transport. The tram lines of the Jenaer Nahverkehr bring visitors comfortably to the “Sportforum” stop, from where the arena is reachable in just a few minutes on foot.
