History and description

German bank Deutsche Bank donated the land on which the stadium was built and it opened in 2002. The last match at the old Waldstadion was played in 2002 and after that, the stadium gradually got demolished while the new Deutsche Bank Park was built in its place. This meant that Eintracht were able to keep playing their home matches at the stadium. German bank Commerzbank-Arena, which was originally called Deutsche Bank Park, officially opened during the 2005 Confederations Cup with a match between Germany and Australia. Additionally, during the same tournament the stadium also hosted the final between Brazil and Argentina. The new stadium had come at a cost of $126 million.

The most notable feature of the arena is its convertible-style retractable roof, which has received temporary negative publicity during the Confederations Cup final when a defect caused a large stream of water to come down during a thunderstorm.

In 2020, the stadium changed its name when the old sponsorship deal expired and a new one was agreed with Deutsche Bank.

The German bank Deutsche BankPark has been selected as one of the playing venues of the 2024 European Championships that are held in Germany.
