We give a run down of the 2. Bundesliga, German Football's second division. Which might have the best stadiums for a 2nd tier league in the world. Thanks for watching!
Yeah it's sad how many big clubs are in tier 2 now. This is why I'm glad I live in the USA and don't have to worry about my favorite team swirling down the toilet bowl of relegation. lol!
@@SuperSirianRigel yeah, in the states you don't get relegated. You just vanish all together when you run out of money. I still can't believe kids nowadays don't know who the Seattle Supersonic were
Would be very nice if you could also cover the 3. Bundesliga and especially the Czech 1st League (Fortuna Liga). Keep up the good work, very nice content.
Germany's second devision has high attendence rates. Manclubs are in germany's second and third devisions have a lot of tradition. It might also be due to severe regulation that stadiums in their second devision are also in a good & beautiful status.
I´d recommend making a similar video about the Dritte Liga, they have some bangers, too. But the range of sizes is bigger and the gap between big and small is much bigger than in second tier
Funny intro. Your German is fantastic. Did you study abroad, m8? Anyways, for second division clubs these are impressive football stadiums with scenery, to boot. I think FC Nuremberg's is my fave, Hans. And I know I'll never get to see them in person but your videos are the second best option. Thank you for what you do. Cheers!
Promouncing German, not so hard.. UNDERSTANDING a native German speaking fast? THat takes some serious skill. The tendenc of German to compound far beyond reason creates a bit of a nightmare for people trying to learn to separate the words to make sense if it
@@Patrick-gy2xn nah, I think Udinese, Juve, Milan, Genoa & Sassuolo are the only good one. The rest are not good. Too big, with unused running track or strange shape.
I know the 1FCN club stadium is now called Max-Morlok Stadium, but I remember it as Franken Stadium. That is what it was called back in 1991 when I went to my first 1FCN game, I've been a fan ever since. When I see pictures of the stadium, I automatically call it Franken Stadium.
Fortuna Düsseldorf's stadium was a World Cup 2006 venue, even if F95 was just a forth tier club back then. Nobody really knew why they got that stadium build, but the fact that Volker Niersbach, a high ranking (corrupt) and ultimately DFB head may have played more than just a small part. There is a reason why Fortuna Düsseldorf is commonly refered to Fortuna Niersbach - including their questionable promotion in a relegation game against Hertha BSC Berlin in 2012 - which proofed to be a scandal and, honestly, should have been an even bigger scandal than it was.
Good as always, mate. Maybe a weird request but what about making a vid on russian premier league stadiums? Yeah, its not so popular as top euroleagues but we have quite amount of a new cool-looking stadiums build fot the 2018 world cup. Well previously you covered j-league and i think RPL is without a doubt more interesting and recognizable within european audience. :р
NOthing against the playes themselves, but the RUssina League and indeed thentire organizational struture are so corrupt it's hard to quantify.. THe fact that they bought the World CUp from that corrupt asshole Blatter sort of sealed the suspicions. That said, Ive had a soft spot for Spartak Moscow since I visited Moscow in 1988.
I dont know my finred.. aside from Ajax, Feyenoord, and PSV I dont think I cn aname a single Dutch team. It's stil fairly small potatoes behind the big 5
both darmstadt stadium variants you showed are incorrect. even the render is not what the stadium is actually going to look like. gonna be more like Karlsuhes new stadium.
It's cool the way you keep picking up on the old style 1950s floodlights. Very German. Love their footy culture; all week they live normal lives, then come maychday they go nuts. Shame its not like this in the UK. Fans there are lazy, entitled (the hunger games styled 'please can I have your jersey') and the atmosphere is poor comparing the Germany. But, the football is much better. Go figure.
Italy is seriously (bad pun there) it's own animal. Outside the big cities, money is much harder to come by. Look at the situation in Cagliari: Sant'Elia which was renoveted for Italia 90 is now abandoned, and they are using amakshift tempo stadium. San Nicola (Bari) isnt seeing much glory since their relegation. Benevento and Salernitana making it upat least temp.. to serie A is shwoing how crappy anything in Campania is beyond SanPaolo/Maradona. I'm stil amazed 2 teams are juggling the stadiums in Verona, Genova, and Reggio Emilia
30 years war anyone? LOL I can never see the name Ingolstadt without thinking of the alternate history series 1632 by Eric FLint.. INgolstadt got bounced around between sides like crazy
hm... Why does every stadium in league 2 has solar, excapt the teams coming from league 1 ? Why our 2 league can but the first not if they have more money. Eaven the SC Freiburg in league 1 is Climate neutral and had not much more money than a top Team in league 2.... Ok now we own the City 15 million € but in about 3 years its no longer existed and wer free to go with all our money
Hamburger used to be the only German club to never get relegated from the Bundesliga and had a clock in their stadium counting the time since the league was founded to celebrate this. It made it that little bit more awkward when they were finally relegated a few years ago and they had to turn off the clock
AkchUaLlY: there are several teams that were never relegated (eg. fc augsburg, bayern). Hamburg was just the only founding member to not get relegated!
it's so weird when people call the club "Hamburger" .. that's basically like saying ManchesterS, BirminghamS or LondonS ... the -er suffix on city names just denotes possession. SV is the Sportverein (sports club). So, Hamburger Sportverein = Hamburgs Sport Club. The city name or HSV will suffice. ;)
Im just so sad to see the once might 1FCK (Kaiserlautren) relegate to B3 or whatever German equivalent is of Serie C. I attended to games at the cozy yet raucous Fritz-Walter Stadion am den Betzenberg (the one I remember most was against St Pauli). I hope that tiny club can become giant slayers again someday. Currently I'm all on board for Eintracht, because who isnt sick A.F. of Bayern? Same fatigue as with Juventus. I Attended a game at the Waldstadion in Frankfurt in 1989 or so, more than a decade before its major upgrade for the World CUp.. It was a beautiful open air place, and I'm not sure I enjoy the roof on it.
Little bit sad, because you just showed an old picture of BBBank Wildpark. Half of the new stadium is already in use, the old main stand is Already teared down. But it shows already, how it will look like in little bit more than a Year.
I worked as a security guy in stadiums the fellas with the orange or yellow shirts. Max-Morlock-Stadium was the main place for me. In winter its fricking cold while in spring/sommer the sun was unberable. In 2014 on my first or second day of work Germany played against Gibraltar. Normaly you're not suposed to watch the game and you're facing to the ranks. But there was no task left for me so the supervisor placed me near the corner just infront of the pitch saying "today you're lucky, enjoy the game" And i stood there starstrucked as a young lad seeing the current world champions. It was a amazing night! Ps. Joachim Löw is a little fella while Müller or Boateng are fucking big.

Especially Kaiserslautern's Fritz Walder

Germany's second devision has high attendence rates.
Manclubs are in germany's second and third devisions have a lot of tradition.
It might also be due to severe regulation that stadiums in their second devision are also in a good & beautiful status.
Lucky and happy Germans to have such incredibile stadiums, even in 3rd or 4th Category !

You should do Allsvenskan stadiums!

2:57.. "wow . Ikea turned into a hardcore 50,000 seater stadium so gradually I didn't even notice... Yeesh"
1:35 love this old part, sad they will reconstruct that part
Mad how Schalke, Hamburg and Werder Bremen are all in the second division
I gotta hand it to the writing on these, the raw hamburger joke was excellent
"Whopper of a stadium" lmao I absolutely love dry humor
The Weserstadion - the blue patch next to it? Are those running tracks or a swimming pool? And no, Im not talking about the River LOL.

Compared with these, I wonder why English Premier league stadiums look like it's 1910.
Until early 2000 the German stadiums were all outdated. Because of WC 2006 a lot of the Stadiums got rebuilt or new ones were built.
