New Tivoli

The Tivoli, colloquially known as the new Tivoli, is a football stadium in the Sportpark Soers in Aachen, Germany, that opened on 17 August 2009 replacing the nearby old Tivoli. It hosts the home matches of Alemannia Aachen in the Regionalliga West. The stadium has a capacity of 31,026 spectators – space for 11,681 standing spectators and 19,345 seats. Theseating capacity for international games is set at 27,250.

The city first suggested the new stadium should be built outside the city, near the local airport. However, fans wanted the stadium built within the city. After much debate, plans were released in February 2007, showing that the new stadium would be built in Sportpark Soers, the sporting area the previous stadium was in.
