Stadion an der Bremer Brücke (officially: Osnatel-Arena) is a football stadium in Osnabrück, Germany. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of VfL Osnabrück. The stadium holds 18,415 people and was built in 1933.

Since April 1, 2008, demolishing works of the very old North Stand are under way to make way for a modern mostly roofed stand to be built at the site. The club had planned to build an entirely roofed stand; however, there has been controversy with a local resident whose property is situated very close to the ground. As a result about one-third of the construction will be significantly lower than the rest, and the overall capacity will decrease to 16,250, but seating capacity will rise to 5,728.
