The home to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, Leipzig Stadium opened in 2004, having been rebuilt inside the shell of the old Zentralstadion, the biggest stadium in the former East Germany. With a capacity of over 40,000 for football games, Leipzig Stadium was still known as the Zentralstadion when it staged matches at the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup as well as three group games and a round of 16 fixture at the FIFA World Cup the following year. Along with its major tournament history, the arena also features a state-of-the-art roof which was designed to provide superior acoustics. As a result, it is a popular venue for concerts, with the late Tina Turner, AC/DC and Bruce Springsteen all experiencing the excellent sound it offers.
