The 2006 WC was also very instrumental in that.
It's great when after a major sporting even the stadiums can be used.
Hertha, Schalke, HSV, Nürnberg, Kaiserslautern and Hannover - six of twelve '06 World Cup stadiums are used by clubs currently in the 2. Bundesliga. Add Düsseldorf and that's seven stadiums with 49.000+ seats, while the Championship, Serie B and Segunda Division have just one 40.000+ seater each (two in Ligue 2).
Has to be Sainté and Bordeaux right ? Still weird that they're in Ligue 2. Kinda like Hamburg/Schalke situation
2006 is also a big part why some of those stadiums are now not in the Bundesliga anymore. A lot of Clubs taking on huge debt to pay for upgrades that couldn't really afford it.
well, not really...
schalke opend theirs in 2001, parkstadion was fkin outdated, this was planned before gemany even got the world cup. Hertha obviously rent the stadium, Glubb does so as well. Hannover rent their stadium for less then a million a year, it was actually somewhat of a scandal, when it became public. HSV paid only about 15m for renovations prior to the world cup.
Lautern just fucked that one up all by themselves....
