Arena AufSchalke
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Use British English Template:Use dmy dates Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". Arena AufSchalke (Script error: No such module "IPA".), currently known as Veltins-Arena (Script error: No such module "IPA".) for sponsorship reasons, is a retractable roof and pitch, football stadium in Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It opened on 13 August 2001,[1] as the new home ground for FC Schalke 04. The stadium has a capacity of 62,271 (standing and seated) for league matches and 54,740 (seated only) for international matches. It hosted four matches at UEFA Euro 2024. The naming rights to the stadium were sold in July 2005 to the German brewery Veltins.
In the late 1990s, plans emerged to construct a new stadium for Schalke 04 to replace the outdated Parkstadion. Following Schalke 04's 1996–97 UEFA Cup victory and anticipating the club's 100th anniversary in 2004, a contract to build the new stadium was awarded to the German construction firm HBM in 1998. The Veltins-Arena is located near the old Parkstadion on a club-owned property known as "Berger Feld." Due to the presence of two mine shafts beneath the site, the stadium's main axis was rotated to ensure structural integrity. The arena features a two-tier layout with a foundation of cast concrete and packed slag from steel smelting.
The Veltins-Arena features a Teflon-coated fiberglass canvas retractable roof that spans the entire venue and is supported by a rectangular truss and 24 steel pylons. The pitch can slide out of the stadium, allowing for optimal grass growth and versatility for various events. The stadium also features a centrally suspended scoreboard, a first in football stadiums. The extensive catering facilities include 15 small restaurants, 50 grilling stations, and 35 cafés, all supplied by a 5 km beer-line capable of dispensing 52,000 liters of beer per match day.
The arena has hosted significant events, including the 2004 UEFA Champions League final, five matches at the 2006 FIFA World Cup including a quarter-final, and the 2010 Ice Hockey World Championship. It has been a venue for concerts and other sports events such as the German Speedway Grand Prix and the 2018 German Darts Masters. The Veltins-Arena has inspired other stadiums, including State Farm Stadium and Friends Arena, due to its innovative features like the retractable roof and slide-out pitch. The arena has hosted concerts by major artists and bands, including The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Iron Maiden, Metallica, AC/DC, Taylor Swift and Rammstein.
History
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Plans to construct a new stadium emergedScript error: No such module "Unsubst". in the late 1990s, as fans and managers sought to move out of the outdated Parkstadion, and create a modern multifunctional arena. Following Schalke 04's 1997 victory in the UEFA Cup and the club's upcoming 100th anniversary in 2004, the contract to construct a stadium was given in 1998 to the German construction firm HBM.

Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
The site chosen for Schalke 04's new stadium is in the direct vicinity of the old Parkstadion, on an extensive piece of club owned property known as the "Berger Feld". Unfortunately,Template:Tone inline two mine shafts of the "Consolidation" and "Hugo" coal-mines run directly beneath this field at a depth of 800 m. These shafts (in use until 2000) would have caused unwanted shifts and tensions that could haveTemplate:According to whom compromised the structural integrity of the stadium. To avoid this, the main axis was rotated from the classic north–south arrangement to a northeast–southwest alignment, making the arena parallel to the mines.
The Veltins-Arena was created as a multi-functional arena of two tiers that completely surround the playing field. These allow for a league capacity of 62,271 spectators (standing and seated) and an international capacity of 54,740. For league matches, the North stand is left as standing rows (capacity: 16,307) to accommodate the Schalke 04 fans,Script error: No such module "Unsubst". while for international matches, these are converted to seats (capacity: 8,600). The 72 VIP lounges form a ring around the entire stadium, separating the first tier from the second tier. On the main Western grandstand, the VIP capacity is increased by a second level of lounges directly beneath the main belt.
The foundation for the stadium was created out of cast concrete and Script error: No such module "convert". of packed slag, a waste product from the steel smelting industry. These were packed into mounds to support the four main stands, which were made out of pre-fabricated, reinforced concrete sections. Leading into the four corners of the arena are Script error: No such module "convert". tunnels, which serve both as access for construction and assembly, and as ventilation for the interior.
Roof and pitch
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The Veltins-Arena features a Teflon-coated fiberglass canvas retractable roof, which spans the entire stadium. The roof is supported by a rectangular truss that is suspended above the field, which is in turn connected to the main building via 24 steel pylons. The center of the roof can be opened into two halves, allowing for an opened or covered stadium, depending on weather and event. To reduce the exterior noise of up to 105 decibels during concerts, a second layer of Teflon-coated fiberglass canvas was added over the first, creating a dampening air cushion. Hanging Script error: No such module "convert". over the center of the pitch are four video screens, each with a surface area of Script error: No such module "convert".. The centrally suspended scoreboard, similar to those found inside indoor sports arenas, was the first of its kind in football stadium, and has since been copied in the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt and the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf.

Like the Sapporo Dome in Japan, the State Farm Stadium and Allegiant Stadium in the U.S. and the GelreDome in the Netherlands, the Veltins-Arena features a slide-out pitch. Supported by a Script error: No such module "convert". substructure, the playing field can be moved in and out of the stadium within four hours. This has several advantages:
- The grass playing surface can grow under normal outside conditions without suffering from a lack of circulation and light as in other arenas.
- The football pitch is not damaged during indoor events such as concerts.
- The floor of the multi-functional hall can be converted and retro-fitted within a short amount of time.
- The outside area that is not occupied by the field can be used as parking facilities for buses during football matches.
