Welcome to the Club!
With the modernization of the MHP Arena Stuttgart, we have succeeded in raising the experience for visitors to a new level. Germany’s first tunnel club, the Porsche Tunnelclub, plays a key role in this. Located directly under the main stand, it is practically at the heart of the stadium and offers up to 200 visitors a unique insight behind the scenes of the matchday action on 360 square meters.
The exclusive area lives up to its name in two ways: visitors get the feeling of being in a club as soon as they enter. The rather dark rooms in combination with the lounge furniture are given a club atmosphere thanks to the use of specific lighting elements.
The effect is underlined by the 360-degree glass façade, from which visitors can watch up close as the players run from the team dressing rooms through a kind of tunnel onto the pitch or give interviews after the soccer match. A surrounding screen with individually playable visuals underlines the club atmosphere. The exclusive concept is rounded off with a front cooking area.
