DonauArena

The Regensburg venue on Walhalla Allee spends most of the year hosting ice hockey rather than football, which sets it apart from the two grounds that share the DonauArena name confusion s — this is the real one, sitting on the Danube's edge in Bavaria, not a stand-in for anything in Austria.

The building went up in 1999 and took on its current commercial name, das Stadtwerk.Donau-Arena, once a utilities sponsor attached itself to the project. Capacity runs to 4,936 for the sport it was built for, though organisers have squeezed in larger crowds for concerts when the seating bowl gives way to standing space on the floor.

The pitch itself is natural grass, an detail that marks it out among indoor and hybrid arenas of similar size, which more often go artificial to survive a shared events calendar.
