Sportplatz Memellandallee

The ground at Sportplatz Memellandallee is home to the Hamburg Blue Devils, the first American football team in Germany to own their own stadium, and this is where that history began. The venue has had several names, including the eVendi Arena and Jahnplatz, but the local identity sticks.

The stands are mostly covered seating, with a distinct architectural simplicity. The backdrop to the ground is a mix of industrial and residential buildings. The pitch itself is natural grass, which requires care, especially given the lack of floodlights. Matches are played under the natural light of the Hamburg sky. The venue is not just for American football; it also hosts association football matches for teams like Örnek Türkspor and youth sides from SC Union 03 Altona. The history between the different sports adds an edge to the location. The original construction involved significant volunteer effort from fans and support from local sports offices. It is a place where the community has worked together to maintain the facility. The ground is a product of its time, built in the mid-2000s to serve a specific sporting need that had previously been unfulfilled. It remains a functional and valued space for the district.
