Fan info for the away trip to Stuttgart

Travel

Due to a concert at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle on Saturday evening and setup work for the fair on the Cannstatter Wasen, delays are expected when arriving and departing. Early arrival or the use of public transport is therefore recommended.

Arriving by car

No parking spaces for away fans arriving by car are available in the immediate vicinity of the MHPArena. VfB Stuttgart asks fans to use the VVS park-and-ride options. The recommended P&R facilities for away fans are Obertürkheim (exit Obertürkheim), Oberesslingen DB Park (exit Oberesslingen), and Esslingen-Mettingen (exit Mettingen).
Please refrain from parking at P10 (Cannstatter Wasen) to avoid mixing with home fans.

Arriving by bus

Take the Bad Cannstatt/Untertürkheim exit and turn left onto Benzstraße.
Coaches can park on Benzstraße in the immediate vicinity of the away section.
The MHPArena is located within the environmental zone of the state capital Stuttgart. Since 1 January 2019, a year-round traffic ban has applied throughout the entire city area to all motor vehicles with diesel engines of emissions class Euro 4/IV and below. In Stuttgart, only the green emissions sticker is now valid. In addition, since 1 July 2020, a zonal traffic ban has been in force in, among other places, the Stuttgart basin area and the Bad Cannstatt district (!) for diesel vehicles of Euro 5/V standard and below.

Arriving by train

Coming from the city centre and the main station: take the U4 to Untertürkheim Bahnhof.
Coming from the P&R car parks: take the S1 to Untertürkheim.
Please avoid Bad Cannstatt station, as it is the main meeting point for home fans.
Travel via the U11 is not recommended.
On home matchdays, the match ticket entitles you to travel on all VVS services from seven hours before kick-off until 5 a.m. the following day.

Entry

The stadium opens at 4:30 p.m.
VfB Stuttgart has issued digital tickets for the match. These can be used either as a printout or digitally on a smartphone (only with an undamaged display).
Access to the away section for blocks 61 to 65 is via the side path from Benzstraße.
Access to blocks 55, 59 and 60 is via a separate entrance – access via Fritz-Walter-Weg (entrance D3).
At previous away matches in Stuttgart, there have occasionally been conflicts between home and away fans in the area around the stadium. Please therefore observe the separation of home and away fans and avoid the home sections of the stadium.
Please note that intensive checks are carried out by security staff at the entrance. Delays at entry therefore cannot be ruled out.
There are a limited number of lockers for bags and backpacks in front of the away entrance (deposit system). Due to the limited capacity, we kindly ask you to leave your backpacks and bags in your cars and buses.
The alcohol limit is 1.0 per mille. Random checks will be carried out. Entry will be denied from a blood alcohol level of 1.0 per mille.
Both carrying and consuming cannabis are prohibited in the MHPArena.
