ticket information and bundle

SSV Ulm 1846 also worked intensively on the improvement of his stadium in order to meet the requirements of the 2nd Bundesliga. The main committee of the municipal council of Ulm has decided to create a master plan for the necessary conversions of the Danube Stadium. The plan will contain detailed information on conversion times, costs and financing.

conversion and licenses

The license for the 2nd Bundesliga was approved by SSV Ulm by the German Football League (DFL) with certain editions. These include the installation of a modern goal line technology, a referee radio and a stable fiber optic connection. In addition, a lighter floodlight system with at least 1,200 lux is required to meet the standards for television broadcasts.

The estimated total costs for the necessary conversions amount to around ten million euros. The most necessary measures include the roofing of the standing rooms in the curves, more modern media technology and conversions in the main grandstand, which, among other things, also includes doping control rooms. Mayor Martin Ansbacher emphasized that the city of Ulm wants to support the club to receive the career for athletics competitions in the stadium.

The city strives to pre -finance part of the renovation costs so that the association can later stutter them. With these measures and licensing, SSV Ulm is optimistic to be able to play its home games in the Danube Stadium. However, the implementation of the conversions could be in connection with the announcement of possible financial support from the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Overall, the SSV Ulm 1846 seems to be well positioned in order to establish itself in the 2nd Bundesliga in the long term and to offer fans an improved stadium experience. The interaction between the club and the city could be decisive for future success on and off the square.
