The Europa-Park Stadion, also known as the Mooswaldstadion (German pronunciation: [ˈmoːswaltˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn] ⓘ) by fans,[1] is a football stadium in Freiburg, Germany.

According to the building plans made by Düsseldorf-based architect group, HPP Architekten, the stadium has continuous upper and lower tiers, with the home stand behind the goal on the south side.

In order to examine the economic viability of converting the Dreisamstadion, the club commissioned a study from Freyler, according to which a conversion would take eleven years and cost only slightly less than a new building.

The Freiburg local councils ordered an assessment report from the auditing company Ernst & Young in the spring of 2012.

[3] In December 2012, the Freiburg city council voted in favour of the construction of a new stadium and confirmed the assessment of three possible locations.

[4] The joint task force of club and city agreed on the Wolfswinkel location next to the airfield and the university engineering faculty building in the district of Brühl.

The Hettlinger allotment gardens near the Messe in the western part of Freiburg and the Hirschmatten plot of land near the motorway feeder road, which had been taken into consideration[by whom?]

as possible alternative construction sites for the stadium, were deemed less suitable in a decision by the Freiburg city council on 25 January 2014.

In April 2020, SC CFO Oliver Leki disclosed in an interview with Kicker, a German sports magazine, that this original date would not be met due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

[11] At the end of 2019, the foot and bike path bridge over the new access road to the stadium (Suwonallee) on Granadaallee was opened.

On 2 October, the most important access road – Suwonallee (named after the South Korean twin town Suwon) – was opened to traffic.

The road runs between the stadium's training area and the landing strip of the adjoining Freiburg Airport (EDTF).

The previously completed road surrounding the stadium is named after the long-time club president, Achim Stocker (1935–2009).

[17][18] In May 2019, the administrative court of Freiburg had rejected an appeal for construction to stop, in summary proceedings brought up by five women and one man (represented by a Karlsruhe law firm), who live between around 430 and 740 meters from the westernmost edge of the stadium.

[21] The Freiburg glider pilots, on the other hand, withdrew their complaint against the stadium because they received a new grass runway in 2019.

[22] On 2 October 2019, the administrative court of Baden-Württemberg ruled that comparatively high noise protection standards must be met for the use of the stadium.

[25] On 20 May 2020, the administrative court fully granted the complaint issued by the state of Baden-Württemberg seeking remedy for a violation of the right to be heard.

If the sports club were to make it to the Europa or Champions League, it would be allowed to play at night however, since the matches would be considered "rare events" for which different conditions apply.

The Ministry of education, youth and sports of the state of Baden-Württemberg subsidized the stadium with an amount of 16.2 million euros.

The stadium was renamed from the placeholder's name SC-Stadion to Europa-Park Stadion when SC Freiburg moved in.
