The stadium is the largest in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan area, although it is situated in a town with only 3,600 inhabitants.

The first competitive match was played on 31 January 2009 against FC Energie Cottbus, and ended in a 2–0 win for Hoffenheim.

[5] The stadium hosted international matches at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.

The Sinsheim-Museum/Arena S-Bahn stop at the Elsenz Valley Railway (Elsenztalbahn) is just over a kilometre walk away[6] and there are shuttle buses from Sinsheim main station.

The stadium can be reached by car via the newly built Sinsheim-Süd junction of the federal motorway 6.
