The Stadion Nürnberg is a stadium in Nuremberg, Germany, which was opened in 1928. It is located next to Zeppelinfeld. It also neighbors the Nuremberg Arena.
Since 1966, it has been home stadium to the German Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg. During the 1972 Summer Olympics, it hosted six football matches. In 1967, it hosted the European Cup Winners' Cup final between Rangers and Bayern Munich. Bayern won 1–0.
Originally it was known as the Städtisches Stadion [ˈʃtɛtɪʃəs ˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn] (English: Municipal Stadium) until 1945, when it was renamed to Victory-Stadium. In 1961, it returned to its original name until 1991, when it received the name Frankenstadion [ˈfʁaŋkŋ̍ˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn]. On 14 March 2006, the stadium was renamed easyCredit-Stadion [ʔiːziˈkʁɛdɪtˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn] for a period of five years, after a sponsorship deal with the German bank DZ Bank. Many fans of the 1. FC Nuremberg, led by the "Ultras Nuremberg" introduced on 1 April 2006, a demonstration against the name as well as a symbolic renamed Max-Morlock-Stadion [ˌmaksˈmɔʁlɔkˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn], in honour of one of the best players in the club's history, Max Morlock. On 14 February 2013, the stadium was renamed to Grundig-Stadion (pronounced [ˈɡʁʊndɪç ˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn] or [ˈɡʁʊndɪk-]), after a sponsorship deal with Grundig. In July 2016, the stadium arrived to its current name after the city of Nuremberg could not find a new sponsor.
