In 2006, the city government and team officials subsequently developed a plan to provide €1.6 million towards the renovation of the stadium.

The most significant changes included the removal of the dilapidated concrete steps that formerly encircled the playing field which were in danger of collapsing and unsafe for large capacity crowds.

The "Nordtribüne," measuring 119 meters long, now has 954 seats, surrounded by two blocks that each provide standing room for 1,200 additional fans.

In an attempt to improve sightlines and provide for a better fan experience, both grandstands were constructed only 8 meters from the playing field.

Additional upgrades include separated entrances for players, referees and other officials, new kiosks and concession stands, improved restroom facilities, and an on-site police trailer.
