The dynamic superelevation of the roof above the East tribune is an architectural highlight of the stadium. The slightly increasing West ramp going towards the stadium, as well as several stairways that allow access to the stadium on the cornerstones of the platform are other eye-catching features. The tribunes are as close as possible to the soccer field and make every game a very special live experience.

The generously elevated box above the West building holds the VIP Lounge and its equipment and furnishing are designed for VIP season ticket holders. The VIP area has a special tribune for 300 special guests that slightly hangs over, and therefore, is even closer to the soccer field.
