The MDCC-Arena

The MDCC-Arena, named after local telcommunications provider MDCC, is currently the third largest stadium in the 3. Liga behind Dresden and Rostock. It is a pure football venue that allows room for 27,250 spectators, of which 4,500 are terraces. The stadium, opened in 2006, is nothing spectacular, as is often the case with new stadiums.

The stadium is single tiered, fully covered and has a distinct arena flavour due to the corners being closed. The main stand distinguishes itself from the other stand due to the executive boxes taking up quite a lot of space in the its centre. The floodlights are integrated into the roof construction. There are two large video screens over the stands at the shorter side of the pitch.

Mageburg supporters are located in the north stand, visiting supporters are located in the southeast corner.>
