From 702 to 3000 - Hansa Rostock wants to ignite the next stage after the successful experiment and further increase the number of spectators in the Ostseestadion.

“Now we feel ready for the 3000,” said Rostock's CEO Robert Marien “Bild”.

On the previous day of the match, the Mecklenburgers won their third division game in front of 702 spectators against Halleschen FC 1-0.

The next home game of coach Jens Härtel's team is scheduled for April 10 against 1. FC Magdeburg.

"Based on the experiences from the Halle game, we will expand and adapt our concept for the home game against Magdeburg and we want to be ready by the beginning of next week at the latest," said Marien.

“Among other things, the opening of the east and south stands is also planned - with a corresponding expansion of the number of test stations.

With the infrastructure used against Halle, we would have already had 1500 spectators in the Ostseestadion. "

The second in the table wants to react accordingly to the development of the corona pandemic.

"We will be ready in any case," said Marien: "Whether there will be a political majority for it and whether the health situation allows it is not up to us."

The club had already announced before the Halle game that they wanted to increase to 3000 spectators in the second step.

The Rostock health department and the state government had given their approval for the first step.

Only season ticket holders from certain stadium areas from Rostock were authorized to enter, who submitted a quick test directly at the stadium before the game.
