Stadium information
Name:
Avnet Arena
Capacity:
30,098
Address:
Heinz-Krügel-Platz 1, 39104 Magdeburg, Germany
Description:
The Avnet Arena opened its doors on 10 December 2006, built on the exact site of the old Ernst-Grube-Stadion at a cost of around €30.9 million. For league matches the ground holds 30,098 spectators, split between 15,598 seats and 14,500 standing places on the famous Nordkurve, and there is also room for 60 wheelchair spaces, 77 media positions and 750 business seats. Not only does the arena carry undersoil heating for the pitch, also floodlights rated at 1,800 lux keep every evening kick-off clearly lit. Two new LED screens of 30 square metres each went up in 2024, the same year the ground itself was renamed: known as MDCC-Arena from 2009, it has carried the name Avnet Arena since 1 July 2024. You will feel the weight of the club’s history the moment you take seat, because the square outside is named Heinz-Krügel-Platz after the coach who led Magdeburg to its greatest triumph.
Best way to travel to the Avnet Arena
When you’ve booked your 1. FC Magdeburg tickets it’s time to find out how you can get to the stadium. The Avnet Arena sits just north of Magdeburg’s exhibition grounds, close to the GETEC Arena. These are the options you have to get to the ground.
By Tram
From Magdeburg Hauptbahnhof, tram line 6 runs directly to the “Jerichower Platz” stop, from where it is a short walk along Jerichower Straße and Georg-Heidler-Straße to the ground. Tram line 4 is the alternative, stopping at “Arenen” right next to the venue. Most fans coming from the station find the tram considerably easier than trying to find a parking space nearby.
By Car
Paid parking on matchdays is available at Gübser Weg and at Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 68, and additional capacity opens up on the exhibition grounds just north of the arena when demand is high. Home and away parking are kept strictly separate, so check your ticket type before you follow the signs on arrival.
By Bike
Magdeburg is a flat city with a well-developed cycling network, and plenty of supporters ride in along the Elbe cycle paths on matchday rather than dealing with traffic around the arena.
Avnet Arena guide
The Avnet Arena has a slightly different character on each side of the pitch, shaped by the mix of standing and seated capacity the club built in when the ground replaced the old Ernst-Grube-Stadion in 2006. On the opposite site from the main stand sits the section every visitor notices first, but every part of the ground plays a role once the match kicks off.
Nordkurve (Block U)
The Nordkurve, known to regulars simply as Block U, is the standing home of Magdeburg’s most committed supporters and the loudest part of the ground by a distance. This is where the songs start before kick-off and rarely stop for 90 minutes, and you will find the atmosphere here unlike anywhere else in the 2. Bundesliga.
Haupttribüne
Running the length of the pitch on the western side, the Haupttribüne is fully seated and includes the arena’s business seats and executive boxes, giving the calmest and most comfortable view in the stadium.
Osttribüne
The Osttribüne combines seated and standing sections opposite the main stand, offering a clear elevated view back across towards the Haupttribüne and a good mix of price points for first-time visitors.
Away section
Visiting supporters are housed in blocks 13 to 15, reached exclusively via the Gübser Weg entrance and the dedicated guest car parks, well separated from the home areas on matchday.
Which stand should you choose?
Not every stand gives you the same experience at the Avnet Arena. We made this table so you can compare the options in one quick look. Check what matters to you and you will find the right stand.
| Priority | Best Stand | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Nordkurve (Block U) | Standing terrace, the loudest and most traditional home support in Magdeburg |
| Best view | Haupttribüne Central | Fully seated, central sightline along the length of the pitch |
| First-time visitor | Osttribüne | Easy to find, mix of seated and standing, good overview of the whole ground |
| Families with children | Haupttribüne Upper | Seated, calmer part of the ground, away from the standing curve |
| Accessible seating | Haupttribüne | Dedicated wheelchair spaces among the arena’s 60 accessible positions |
| Budget-conscious | Osttribüne Standing | Standing places, good value for a first Avnet Arena visit |
| Premium comfort | Haupttribüne VIP | Business seats and executive boxes with the best hospitality in the ground |

Club history
1. FC Magdeburg was founded on 22 December 1965, bringing together several sports groups and works teams from a city with a football tradition stretching back to clubs like Viktoria 96 and Preußen 99. Under coach Heinz Krügel the club won three East German championships in 1972, 1973-74 and 1974-75, but it is the achievement of 8 May 1974 that still defines the club today: a 2-0 win over AC Milan in Rotterdam’s De Kuip, sealed by an own goal from Enrico Lanzi in the 43rd minute and a strike from Wolfgang Seguin in the 74th, made Magdeburg the only East German side ever to lift a European trophy, the Cup Winners’ Cup. Financial collapse in 2002 sent the club tumbling through the lower leagues, and it took until 2015 to reach the 3. Liga again, then 2018 to return to the 2. Bundesliga with a record-breaking 85 points that season. A further relegation and a 3. Liga title in 2022 brought Magdeburg back to the second tier, where it has stayed for five straight seasons since 2021-22.
The 2025-26 season saw Magdeburg finish 14th in the 2. Bundesliga under the coaching duo of Petrik Sander and Pascal Ibold, who took charge in October 2025. That result followed the best post-reunification finish in club history a year earlier, 5th place in 2024-25, and captain Dominik Reimann has been the figure supporters look to on the pitch through both campaigns.
German influences
Heinz Krügel remains the club’s defining figure, honoured with a statue outside the stadium since 2014 and with the square itself, Heinz-Krügel-Platz, carrying his name. Striker Joachim Streich, who played his club football in Magdeburg, still holds the East German national team records with 102 caps and 55 goals, a mark that has stood since the country itself stopped existing. The club also marked the 50th anniversary of the 1974 final with an exhibition at the Technikmuseum Magdeburg in 2024, and surviving members of that squad were honoured at a ceremony attended by more than 1,700 guests. Come to the Avnet Arena for a match and you will feel quite fast why this piece of East German sporting history still matters so much to the city.
1. FC Magdeburg Honours & Trophies
1. FC Magdeburg holds a trophy cabinet that stands apart from almost every other current 2. Bundesliga side, built entirely before German reunification and never matched by an East German club since. Reaching the second tier again after the 2002 insolvency showed the fight the club still has, even outside the traditional west German football landscape. Cheap and premium 1. FC Magdeburg football tickets for the 2. Bundesliga are available to buy now at LiveFootballTickets.com.

Regional fixtures
Hallescher FC
The Sachsen-Anhalt-Derby against Hallescher FC is Magdeburg’s biggest regional rivalry, rooted in the fact that both clubs represent the two largest cities of the same federal state. Also this fixture draws some of the highest away-ticket demand of the whole Magdeburg season, and both sets of supporters travel in numbers whenever the derby falls in the 2. Bundesliga or 3. Liga calendar.
