News Article: Fortuna Düsseldorf Prepares for Home Opener Against Hannover 96
Fortuna Düsseldorf is gearing up for its first home game of the 2. Bundesliga season this Saturday, August 9, as they take on Hannover 96 at the Merkur Spiel-Arena. Kick-off is scheduled for 1 PM.
The arena will open its doors at 11:30 AM, with the VIP area opening an hour earlier at 11 AM. Tickets are still available in almost all categories for the game through the online shop.
In preparation for the match, Fortuna Düsseldorf will pay tribute to the late Frank Mill, who passed away on August 5 at the age of 67. Mill played for the club from 1994 to 1996 and managed the team for a year. A minute of silence will be observed before the game in his memory, and there will be an opportunity for spectators to applaud in honor of Mill's life's work and his commitment to Fortuna.
For those attending the match, there are some changes to the food and drink prices in the arena. A curry sausage roll now costs 5.30 euros, while a portion of fries will set you back 4.20 euros. Other food items, such as a pork roll, have seen a moderate increase in price, now costing 8 euros. The price of non-alcoholic beverages remains the same, with Cola, Limo, and water priced at 5, 5, and 4 euros respectively. The price of a 0.5-liter cup of Schumacher Alt remains unchanged at 5.50 euros plus a 1 euro deposit.
Card payments are now the only accepted form of payment in the stadium's inner area to reduce waiting times. Warsteiner Pils will be served again in the arena from September. In the meantime, Carlsberg has seen a price increase from 5.20 euros to 5.50 euros.
Fortuna Düsseldorf's coach for the season is Daniel Thioune. The team will be looking to make amends after a clear 1:5 defeat in the season opener against Arminia Bielefeld. The Warsteiner beer garden will open at 10 AM before the home game against Hannover on August 9 and will remain open until 5 PM after the game.
Fortuna Düsseldorf recommends early arrival for the game, and only blocks 36-39 on the south tribune are sold out. With the tribute to Frank Mill and the chance to make amends for the season opener, this promises to be an exciting match for both teams and their fans.
Football enthusiasts are encouraged to attend Fortuna Düsseldorf's home opener against Hannover 96 this Saturday, as the team aims to perform better following a disappointing 1:5 defeat in their season opener against Arminia Bielefeld. During the game, a tribute will be paid to the late Frank Mill, a former player and manager of the club, with a minute of silence observed before the match.
