Founded1896-04-12
Capacity49,000 arena places; arena source lists seated, standing and hospitality breakdowns.
Official tickets firstHannover 96 sell home tickets through the official ticket pages, hotline and club routes; high-demand fixtures can move quickly.
Maschsee routeThe stadium sits in Sportpark Hannover by the Maschsee, just south-west of the centre and reachable by tram or a long central walk.
Nordkurve is homeNordkurve is the home-atmosphere end; neutral and family copy should not send casual visitors there by default.
Away allocation changesAway sections and routes are fixture-specific; use Hannover 96 matchday information and away-club instructions.
City plus Maschsee foodThe guide splits central beer halls, Markthalle and Maschsee food rather than pushing one place.
Hotels by priorityUse Maschsee hotels for ground-first trips and central hotels for station/night-out weekends.
