Alongside the "Auf Schalke" Arena, the Volkswagen Arena is the first new purpose-built stadium in years. Appropriately high demands were made of the planners, after Wolfsburg Town Council had taken the decision to build the new stadium. The total project costs ran to nearly 53 million euros, provided equally by the Town of Wolfsburg and the operator, VfL Wolfsburg Fußball GmbH, an affiliate of Volkswagen AG, which holds a 90% stake. Wolfsburg AG appointed Volkswagen Immobilien ("VW Property") as main contractor. The company was entrusted with the entire management of the project and delivered a turnkey ready stadium with room for 30,000 spectators.

Place for 30.000 spectators

The 30,000 places are divided into fixed seating for 22,000 and standing room for 8,000, which can be converted into 4,000 seats for international matches. Compared to the old stadium, the capacity increased by 10,000 spectators. The renouncement of a running track gives spectators the chance to get even closer to the action, while at the same time being protected from any weather conditions by the completly covered spectators area.
