		The rebuilding of Germany's football stadia ahead of the 2006 World Cup finals continues apace, with the official opening of Hamburg's Volksparkstadion last weekend marked by the country's 2-0 victory over Greece.
		Though fairly rudimentary (uncomfortable bucket seats with views of the pitch obscured by crash barriers), the process works sufficiently to keep Uefa happy while maintaining the fan's desire to stand.
		Dirk Mansun, secretary of the Hamburger SV Supporters Club, explains that, working alongside both the club and its' fans, the architects developed a system whereby the terrace steps rotate through 180 degrees to be replaced by steps with seats.

		The rebuilt stadium, traditionally known as the Volksparkstadion, has been known as the AOL Arena for the last five years.

	The AOL Arena
		Originally built as the Volksparkstadion (People's Park Stadium) in 1953, the ground was completely rebuilt in 1999 as the impressive modern arena that you see in these pictures.
		In 2001, AOL paid a reported 30m DM (around 15.3m euros) for a five-year ground naming deal that saw the stadium rechristened the AOL Arena (although many locals still call it the Volksparkstadion).
		However, FIFA have ruled that sponsored stadium names are not allowed for the World Cup (except in Stuttgart - don't ask why!!), and have rebranded it for 2006 the 'FIFA World Cup Stadium, Hamburg'.

		ESPN.com Soccernet WorldCup: News - Owen can prey on Voeller's new order
		Fireworks lit up the night sky as traffic crawled from the Volksparkstadion to the heart of old Hamburg, but any Germans prepared to celebrate on the strength of what they had witnessed from Rudi Voeller's new order were decidedly premature.
		The 2-0 win that Germany recorded over Greece was hardly the resounding triumph they were seeking.
