History and description<\/h3>\n

The Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena replaced Duisburg\u2019s old Wedaustadion. Plans for the construction of the new arena were presented in 2002, and demolition of the old stadium started in May 2003.<\/p>\n

Works on the new stadium began late 2003, and in April 2004 the first two new stands had been finished. The third new stand opened in August 2004, and six months later the stadium was completed with the opening of the new main stand.<\/p>\n

The first match at the completed stadium was played on 8 November 2004. The fixture between Duisburg and Alemannia Aachen ended in a 1-0 victory for the home side.<\/p>\n

The stadium was initially called MSV-Arena, but changed names in 2010 to Schauinsland-Reisen-Arena as the result of a sponsorship deal.<\/p>\n
