Since July 2005, Frankfurt's Waldstadion has changed its name to
the Commerzbank Arena. The 48,500 seating
capacity stadium is located in woodlands (hence the original name of Waldstion, meaning
forest stadium) south of the city and the River Main.
By car, simply follow the A5/A3 to Frankfurter Kreuz and follow the
football signs.
From the centre of Frankfurt, drive over the Mainbrücken (bridge over
the River Main) towards Sachsenhausen and follow Kennedyallee onto Mörfelder Landstrasse.
The stadium, on Otto-Fleck-Schneise, should be over to your right and parking signposted.
Most maps will probably still have the name Waldstadion printed on them.
From Frankfurter Hauptbahnhof:
Take the S8 or S9 (Direction Mainz or Wiesbaden) and get off at Sportfeld.
Tram 21 also runs from Frankfurt main station to the stadium (the stop
is called Stadion) on match days.
The long-distance railway station is at the AIRail Terminal, right
next to Terminal 1. There's also a local railway station for S-Bahn, regional and local
trains at Terminal 1, Level 1.
If you're going straight to the stadium from the airport, take the S8
towards Hanau or the S9 towards Offenbach Ost and get off at Sportfeld.
