Home of the FC St. Pauli soccer team, this popular stadium has seen its share of exciting games - and controversy. When it was built in the 1960s and immediately had to be renovated because of poor drainage issues, setting back the dedication ceremony that had been planned. Over the years, many more renovations have been made to improve safety standards and update the center. In 1970, the stadium was renamed to honor the late president of the team, stirring up controversy because of the man's role in the NSDAP and the Third Reich. Consequently, the stadium reverted back to its original name in 2000. All the controversy aside, the stadium has remained a popular arena for games because of its intimate atmosphere that belies its expansive size.
