Google maps fun: Leipzig football stadiumΒΆ

Tags: personal

Tomorrow the Dutch soccer team is going to play Serbia/Montenegro in Leipzig. It used to be the biggest stadium in Germany with 100000 seats. That's "Eastern Germany". They build the new stadium within the walls of the old Zentralstadion one, according to the fifa worldcup website .

I found the old stadium on google maps, old and derelict. No sign of the new stadium. But if you look closely at this photo of the new Leipzig stadium , you can it has been build within the original stands. Funny!
