The new Hamburg Stadium opened its doors on 2 September 2000 for the international encounter between Germany and Greece. The showcase stadium and especially the local fans now keenly await the next visit from the German National Team. Uwe Seeler, for one, guarantees a “certain three points” for the German side if the team plays here during the World Cup.
Financing:
€11m from the city, €70m outside financing, €16m from the stadium’s proprietor company.
