Full detailAbout Signal Iduna Park
Signal Iduna Park (the Westfalenstadion), home of Borussia Dortmund, is Germany's biggest stadium at 81,365 for league matches — and home to the Yellow Wall (Südtribüne), Europe's largest standing terrace with almost 25,000 fans behind the south goal. The four stands (Nord, Ost, Süd, West) rise in two main tiers with filled corners. For pure viewing, central upper West or Ost blocks are best; for the experience, nothing in football matches standing on, or facing, the Yellow Wall. International matches convert standing to seats (~66,000).
Germany's largest stadium at around 81,000, defined by the Südtribüne, the enormous single-tier South Stand known as 'The Yellow Wall' and the biggest terrace in European football. Distinctive yellow support pylons frame the corners.

Signal Iduna Park seating capacity and layouts
The Signal Iduna Park seating capacity is about 81,365 seats. The number in use changes with the layout, so here is how each set-up works.
Bundesliga — with the Yellow Wall standing
League capacity 81,365 with the Südtribüne as one giant safe-standing terrace of ~24,450. The definitive BVB configuration.
International / UEFA — all-seater
Rail seats convert the Südtribüne to seating, dropping capacity to about 66,000. The Wall still sings, seated.
Concerts (occasional)
End-stage shows use the pitch as floor; the Süd end or the stage end is closed depending on orientation.
Seating levels explained
Lower Tier (Unterrang)Inner ring: Süd 10–15, West 20–27, Ost 40–49, Nord 60–63, corners 35–36, 55–56, 64–65, 85–86
The lower ring on all four sides — including the standing Südtribüne in league mode.
Pros: Close to the pitch; the Südtribüne is the most famous terrace in world football.
Cons: Standing means standing — 90+ minutes; lower corner seats are the flattest views.
Upper Tier (Oberrang)Outer ring: Süd 80–84, West 30–34, Ost 50–54, Nord 70–78, corners 37–39, 57–59, 66–68, 87–89
Steep upper decks with commanding views, joined at the corners by the distinctive yellow pylons.
Pros: Central upper West/Ost blocks give the best balanced view in the stadium — and face the Yellow Wall spectacle.
Cons: High back rows are far; the steep rake demands sure footing.

Accessibility & companion seating
Wheelchair user areas with companion seats, dedicated seating for visually and hearing impaired fans, accessible entrances, lifts and adapted toilets; BVB runs a dedicated disabled-supporter booking process and demand is high — apply early.

Food & drink at Signal Iduna Park
Food and drink at Signal Iduna Park sticks to Bundesliga tradition: kiosks, grill wagons and pretzel stands on the concourses serve bratwurst and other match-day staples, washed down with Brinkhoff's No. 1, the locally brewed house beer. As at most German grounds, draught beer comes in returnable deposit cups.
The stadium went fully cashless from the 2024-25 season: kiosks accept girocard, credit cards and mobile payments (plus the club's Stadiondeckel card at fixed kiosks), mobile stands are card-only, and only the roaming beer sellers still take cash.
Worth seeking out
- Bratwurst from the concourse grill stands
- Brinkhoff's No. 1 — the house beer
- Pretzel stands and grill wagons on the concourses
