The Heinz Steyer Stadium is a football stadium with an athletics facility in the Friedrichstadt district of Dresden, the capital of Saxony. It was initially called the Stadion am Ostragehege (Stadium at the Ostragehege) of the Dresdner SC (Dresdner SC). In 1949, it was renamed after the communist football player Heinz Steyer, who was executed in 1944. Renovation began in 2021. After the renovation, it offers over 10,400 seats, 5,400 of which are covered. With the addition of mobile stands in the curve areas, it can be expanded to up to 15,000 seats. The cost of the entire renovation and expansion of the facility amounted to approximately €54 million. The Free State of Saxony contributed €4 million to the stadium renovation and provided an additional €770,000 in funding for the proper disposal of contaminated soil.
The municipal stadium is part of the Ostra Sports Park and is primarily used by the soccer department and track and field athletes of Dresdner SC. Since 2007, the Dresden Monarchs American Football Club has also moved into the sports facility. (Source: Wikipedia)
