The BayArena in Leverkusen is one of Germany s and Europe s most modern football stadiums. A one of a kind arena, setting and exceeding new standards not only as far as competitiveness is concerned.

2 The BayArena in Leverkusen is one of Germany s and Europe s most modern football stadiums. A one of a kind arena, setting and exceeding new standards not only as far as competitiveness is concerned. Home of the German Bundesliga Team, of Bayer 04 Leverkusen, the arena impresses with its tremendous architecture and offers perfect solutions for visitors seeking comfort, unobstructed sightlines and a well situated infrastructure. The official inauguration took place in August 2009 after 20 months of construction, when Bayer 04 had its first match against the team of 1899 Hoffenheim. The international premiere was celebrated in September 2009 with a friendly match of the German National Team against the 2010 World Cup Host, South Africa. 2

4 After 20 months of reconstruction and expansion the BayArena offers plenty of space for more than 30,000 spectators. It was formerly called Ulrich-Haberland-Stadium. The team colors red and black are visible on the lettering on the outside of the arena. The red and black seats inside the venue are arranged to display 1904 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen. According to the design of Hentrich-Petschnigg & Partner (HHP), architects of Düsseldorf, Max Bögl in joint venture with Köster AG, took on the overall responsibility for the realization of the 70 million Euro project. Some structural engineering challenges were mastered by enlarging the stands with additional upper tiers, increasing seating capacity from 22,500 to more than 30,000 and erecting a new main-stand building in the western area of the stadium as well as a spectacular roof construction consisting of steel cables and Makrolon. 4

5 In 2007 the main challenge of the expansion- and reconstruction activities was to increase the existing stands of the north, west and east sides of the stadium. Thus, new VIPboxes could be created between the lower- and upper tiers of the arena. Also, the hospitality section received a new appearance with restaurants and lounges for 2,000 spectators. The new 4-level west standbuilding with 17,400 m² gross floor area perfectly completes the extension program. The 2,600 m² glass paned lower level with locker- and treatment facilities has quadrupled in size. On the other floors, there are further VIP- and lounge areas and an open space area offering a panoramic view onto the soccerand training complex. 5

7 Spectacular roof construction of steel and Makrolon protects visitors from weather conditions. Structural highlight and prime example for Max Bögl s competence in steel- and plant design in the field of complex roof construction for sports arenas, is displayed in the circular roof formation of the BayArena. With a diameter of 217 m the roof reaches far beyond the extended platform areas, providing shelter from rain and sun for visitors even in the front rows of the arena. The supporting structure of the roof with a skin of Makrolon cellular sheets is based on the principle of a spoke wheel and resembles the roof of the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt. Illustrating an oversized spider web, the cable structure of 72 upper and 36 lower radial steel cables forms the supporting structure of the roof. For this spectacular roof construction, the Max Bögl Steel- and Plant- Construction Department provided 2,800 tons of steel and 12,800 m of steel cable. The Big Lift of the roof took place in May 2009 in four phases. In phase I, all steel cables were lifted simultaneously. Only minor rearrangements were necessary balancing the graceful but heavy weight construction. In phase II, the cables were pulled together in groups, and in phase III each single cable had to be aligned since massive forces impacted on the entire roof. Securing the cables concluded phase IV. A triple cellular roof cover of Makrolon was especially developed for the 28,000 m² roof system. After reconstructing and converting the BayArena in Leverkusen into a state-of-the-art stadium with all the amenities of today s venues, Max Bögl is proud to look back on four completed stadiums in Germany, including the RheinEnergie- Stadium in Cologne, the Commerzbank Arena in Frankfurt and the Allianz Arena in Munich all host of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Two more arenas in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Bucharest (Romania) stand for innovation and progress in development and construction as well as experienced competence in design & built. 7
