The stadium's interior structure was built inside the walls of the original 1956 Zentralstadion, creating a 'stadium within a stadium' effect.
During construction, the original grass embankment from the old stadium was left in place to support the new steel structures.
The stadium roof is designed with an integrated lighting system that can be illuminated in different colors based on the event.
It is one of the few elite-category stadiums in Germany that features such a unique fusion of historical 1950s masonry and modern glass-and-steel architecture.
Red Bull Arena is the home stadium of RB Leipzig, located within the historic Zentralstadion basin. The current structure incorporates the original, massive concrete outer shell of the 1956 Zentralstadion, which was preserved during the 2004 renovation. It holds a capacity of approximately 47,000 spectators for football matches. The venue features a modern, steep-tiered bowl design that provides high sightline visibility. It serves as a multipurpose venue, hosting both UEFA-sanctioned football matches and large-scale international concert tours. The stadium is fully roofed, with an integrated light system spanning the entire perimeter. It is situated in the middle of the Sportforum Leipzig, a cluster of sports facilities near the city center.
The elevated pedestrian walkway circling the stadium perimeter provides an unobstructed view of the unique circular facade.
