FC Union Berlin - Stadion An der Alten Försterei

Stadion An der Alten Försterei (English Stadium near the old Forester's house) is a football stadium in the German capital Berlin. It has been home to football club 1. FC Union Berlin (and its forerunners) since it was opened on 7 August 1920. The stadium's capacity was approximately 18,100 spectators until its complete redevelopment, which commenced in the summer of 2008. It is now just under 19,000 although some important development aspects (seated main stand and V.I.P areas) have not been carried out yet. The club's management, with the backing of the fans, decided the stadium would now have a capacity of just under 19,000 including 3,014 seats (just over the minimum required for the 2. Bundesliga) whilst the rest of the ground remains terracing.
