The 40,000 square metre area allows over 10,000 supporters to view the game at any one time and, as befitting a real football stadium complex, the surrounding area also includes football pitches and football skills training sessions, allowing fans to get active themselves. Ironically, prior to the football world cup, it had always been forbidden for the public to play football in this area in front of the parliament.
This author gave the faux-stadium a test-run today in person for the Australia vs Japan match, televised from Kaiserslautern. The Australian side was victorious 3-1, their first victory ever in a football world cup. al
