Bielefelder Alm
Bielefelder Alm () is a football stadium in Bielefeld, Germany. The stadium, which has a capacity of 26 515, is owned by the football club DSC Arminia Bielefeld and mostly used for the club's matches. Formerly named Stadion Alm , it is currently known as SchücoArena due to a sponsorship deal with the Bielefeld-based window and solar panel manufacturers. History The football ground was opened in 1926, with land acquired from a farmer named Lohmann. The stadium got its former name (''Alm'') because it did not look like a football stadium in the first years and so one of Arminia's members said that just a few cows were missing in order to look like an ''Alm'' ( en, alpine grassland). In 1957, it got its grass cover and the first grandstands were constructed. Until 1971 the stands were all terraced, but with Arminia Bielefeld winning promotion to the Bundesliga, the first stand with seating was constructed. By 1978 3 new stands had been built and the stadium's capacity was 34,22 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

SC Preußen Münster
SC Preußen Münster (English: Prussia Münster) is a German sports club based in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia which is mostly recognised for its football section. The football team currently plays in Regionalliga West which is the fourth tier in German football. Preußen Münster also fields teams in tennis, athletics, handball and fistball.
