History

About Signal Iduna Park

The Westfalenstadion opened on 2 April 1974, built for the 1974 World Cup, with 53,000 places of which 37,000 were standing; Schalke won the opening friendly 3–0. The North Stand was converted to seats in 1992, upper tiers were added between 1995 and 1999, and the corners were closed between 2002 and 2003, supported by yellow steel pylons. The stadium has carried the name Signal Iduna Park since 1 December 2005, and the naming contract runs until 30 June 2031.
