Westfalenstadion

edit

Done for now. Should you feel that the article has omitted anything, feel free to add, subtract, re-arrange or raise the matter as a discussion. The image added is also very fitting. Roger2dc 12:29, 21 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Change of name

edit

Westfalenstadion is now Signal Iduna Park, and changes are being taken to reflect that. NoseNuggets 10:41 PM US EST Dec 9 2005

First Line

edit

I believe that first line should be "Signal Iduna Park is the name the Westfalenstadion carries from December 2005 until June 2011." instead of the present version that reads "Westfalenstadion is the name the Westfalenstadion carries from December 2005 until June 2011." --Setzerknight 02:23, 1 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yep, that's called vandalism. It has read your suggested version before someone changed it. I changed it back. -newkai | talk | contribs 08:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Signal Iduna ParkWestfalenstadion — The current name is a sponsored name that is, by definition, temporary. When the stadium is re-sponsored, the article will require a rename, and therefore hundreds of links will need correcting. Furthermore, the common name for the stadium is "Westfalenstadion". Even when it is referred to as "Signal Iduna Park" in the media, the name "Westfalenstadion" can be found nearby, as people are obviously more familiar with the name "Westfalenstadion". — – PeeJay 07:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Nicknames

edit

In the article is written, that the stadium is nicknamed "yellow wall". This is quite not correct. The Südtribüne is nicknamed "yellow wall". The nickname is even written on a banner above the famous Südtribüne ("Gelbe Wand Südtribüne Dortmund"). This should be corrected. For reference: picture 1, picture 2, picture 3, picture 4. When looking at the pictures it should be quite obvious why the Südtribüne is called "Yellow Wall" --Turbotörtchen (talk) 13:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

WestfalenstadionSignal Iduna Park – How do you know its common name is still Westfalenstadion to make it the official page name? The German version of this Wikipedia page is called Signal Iduna Park. Every stadium as far as I can remember that I have seen in all of sports has the Wikipedia name of whatever that stadiums name change is. Some examples in Germany are the Veltins-Arena which was first known as Arena AufSchalke and the AWD-Arena which was first known as the Niedersachsenstadion. Here is a list of stadiums worldwide with naming rights List of sports venues with sole naming rights. It is the case with every stadium that I know of that has naming rights. Whenever the stadiums name changes, the name of its Wikipedia article changes.relisting for defintive discussion--Mike Cline (talk) 16:25, 5 February 2012 (UTC), relisted -Mike Cline (talk) 17:45, 23 January 2012 (UTC) Hornymanatee (talk) 02:37, 13 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

WestfalenstadionSignal Iduna Park – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Also, Wikipedia has no policies about commercial names and traditional names. This should be moved. --Il223334234 (talk) 11:02, 10 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Capacity (2012–2015)?

edit

According to the infobox, the capacity between 2012–2015 was 81,264. I can not find any source for this figure and having followed BVB over these years, I have never seen such an attendance figure being reported. On the contrary, most sources I have found states that the previous capacity (or the current, since the planned expansion has not yet been done) was 80,667 or 80,720. One source even states the the previous capacity was 80,554. (The source we use for the new capacity figure states that the previous capacity was 80,720.)

The figures in the opening of the article contradict each other. The current stated capacity in the article would make it the second largest 'top flight' stadium in Europe after Camp Nou, not the third.81.108.165.3 (talk) 20:17, 5 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
