Signal Iduna Park


Club: Borussia Dortmund
Opening: 1974
Capacity: 80,720 (25,000 standing)

Signal Iduna Park, before 2005 called Westfalenstadion, was built to serve as a playing venue for the 1974 World Cup.
Signal Iduna under a sponsorship arrangement, giving naming rights to the Signal Iduna Group, an insurance company.
Sometimes referred to as the 'Temple of the Yellow Wall' , the Westfalenstadion has the largest free-standing grandstand in Europe.
In 2006, Signal Iduna Park was one of the playing venues of the 2006 World Cup. Temporarily renamed and with a reduced capacity of 67,000 seats, the stadium hosted four group matches, a round of 16 match, and the semi-final between Germany and Italy (0-2).
