What rules apply to fans
Fans in stadiums and arenas will largely have to stick to the measures they are used to. The distance requirement should apply, in some stages also a mask requirement. To ensure this, club hygiene concepts may include special measures, such as delayed admission to avoid crowds. It is preferable to arrive by bicycle, on foot or by car so that local transport is not too narrow. Borussia Dortmund, for example, will only use 10,000 spaces, although 16,000 would be allowed. The reason for this is the local transport capacity.
This is no longer a permanent ban, but invited fans are not allowed and alcohol should be banned as well. Bathrooms can only work one way. “It has to be clear to everyone: if the clubs cannot do this afterwards, he will immediately withdraw. There should be no doubt about it.”said the Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann (The Greens). In the games at the DFB-Pokal with spectators it could be seen in some videos that the rules were not always observed. In Rostock, fewer South Grandstand tickets will be sold in the future, announced Rostock Social Senator Steffen Bockhahn (Die Linke). There, in the game against VfB Stuttgart, conditions were violated several times.
