My visit

Friday 18th February 2011

I was on my second visit to the city of Dortmund with Carl and Colm and we were in jubilant mood after purchasing some match tickets for the following days clash at the nearby Westfalenstadion between Borussia Dortmund and St Pauli.

My research on Google maps had spotted another venue near to the home of Borussia so I suggested we took an extra ten minutes walk so I could take a few snaps. There was a tram station across the car park and everyone was in good spirits so it was met with little resistance. We walked over a major road and were soon outside the DSC-Stadion an der Flora.

 

There was a red shale practise pitch behind one of the ends with an open gate by it. The pitch was surrounded by a running track. There was banking behind the ends with a few steps of terracing. This continued down the far side. The Main Stand which banked on to Victor-Toyka-Strasse was a large building with a few rows of steps with bench seating in front of large indoor sports facilities and leisure facilities. A covered box protruded at the centre section.

 

We walked along the back of the stand and were tempted to enter the bar and restaurant but resisted to walk across the park to Remydamm tram stop and go back into the city for lunchtime libation.
