Updating the Niederrhein Stadium by RWO
Third-Division Stadium to Undergo Significant Renovations
The third-division football stadium in an unspecified location is set for a major overhaul, with a series of improvements planned both in the short and long term.
In the immediate future, the stadium will see the addition of four floodlights, a new tribune, and a VIP area. This tribune will accommodate 3,000 seats and will also include boxes, catering facilities, event spaces, and offices. To enhance the fan experience, modern technology for entry, video surveillance, and stadium announcements will be installed.
The club has announced that the next steps in the stadium's development will be decided soon, but it is known that long-term plans involve replacing the old canal curve with a new tribune. This new tribune will be equipped with the latest technology and is expected to boost the stadium's capacity.
A dock at the Rhine-Herne Canal is also part of the stadium's long-term concept. However, the specific purpose of this dock remains unclear.
The city has expressed its support for the stadium's concept in principle, indicating a shared vision for the project's success. The renovations are expected to create a more inclusive, state-of-the-art environment for fans and players, similar to the UFCU Stadium End Zone Complex, which underwent a $42 million renovation and was completed in mid-2025.
The club's long-term plans also include upgrading technology (such as modern training rooms, hospitality technology, and fan engagement features) and ensuring compliance with safety and building codes. While dock installation is not commonly mentioned in stadium renovations, the inclusion of a dock in this project suggests a multi-use facility that may cater to various needs.
As more details about the stadium's development become available, we will keep you updated. Stay tuned for further announcements.
The renovations for the third-division football stadium will not only include short-term improvements like four floodlights, a new tribune, VIP area, and modern technology, but the club also plans to upgrade the stadium in the long term by replacing the old canal curve with a new tribune equipped with the latest technology to boost its capacity. This stadium's renovation goals aim to create an inclusive, state-of-the-art environment, drawing comparisons with the UFCU Stadium End Zone Complex, a renowned European sports facility.
