Excerpt: Glucksgas Stadium (German: , German pronunciation: ) is a football stadium in Dresden, Saxony. It is the current home of Dynamo Dresden. The facility had previously been known as the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion, but in December 2010, the naming rights were sold to Glucksgas, a Bavarian energy company. Sports facilities have existed on the physical site of the stadium since 1874, and the site noted an attendance of 270,000 people during the 1885 festival. The former stadium was completed on June 16, 1923 at a cost of 500,000 German reichsmark allocated for the expansion of the existing Ilgen-Kampfbahn centrally located in the inner city. The football club Dresdensia was the first organization to use the new facility. In 1953, the Sportvereinigung Dynamo took over the stadium and on September 23, 1953, the stadium was re-named for athlete Rudolf Harbig. In the summer of 1971, it was renamed Dynamo-Stadion for the football club Dynamo Dresden which used the stadium as its home ground. The capacity of the stadium was twice expanded: to 36,000 in 1976 and then to 38,500 in 1980. The current capacity is approximately 23,940 seats (220 roofed and 10,670 open)..
