The municipal football and athletics stadium
The Hans-Walter-Wild-Stadion, as it has been called since 2002, has been an integral part of Bayreuth’s sporting landscape since the 1960s. It is the venue for the home matches of the Spielvereinigung (SpVgg Bayreuth), which locals also like to call the “Oldschdod”. For football matches it held up to 22,000 spectators. Since then, the municipal stadium has seen numerous matches with remarkable attendances:
1979: Promotion play-off for the 1st Bundesliga: SpVgg Bayreuth – Bayer 05 Uerdingen; 22,000 spectators
1980: DFB Cup: SpVgg Bayreuth – FC Bayern München; 18,000 spectators
1987: Bayernliga championship: SpVgg Bayreuth – TSV 1860 München; 20,000 spectators
2005: Women’s international: Germany – Scotland; 15,000 spectators
2022: Regionalliga Bayern: SpVgg Bayreuth – Bayern München II; 10,016 spectators
2022: DFB Cup: SpVgg Bayreuth – Hamburger SV; 14,700 spectators
Really? Michael Jackson?
Yes, he too played the Hans-Walter-Wild-Stadion in Bayreuth, in 1992. With more than 28,000 spectators, the attendance has been considered an unbeatable record ever since. Not even Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, PUR or Die Toten Hosen could change that.
