1. FC Koln is exploring the expansion of RheinEnergieSTADION to meet the ongoing high ticket demand. The club's presidency has established an internal committee to address issues such as costs, structural integrity, and traffic. The demand for tickets for FC Koln's home games has surged in recent years, prompting the club to consider the future of the stadium. A feasibility study from 2019 indicated that an expansion to up to 75,000 seats is technically feasible. In the 2025/26 season, nearly all of FC Koln's matches were sold out with 50,000 spectators, and approximately 45,000 people are on the waiting list for a season ticket. These figures highlight the necessity for expansion. The club is also planning to enhance its youth academy (NLZ) to foster the development of young talents. While discussions about stadium construction are taking place in other cities like Frankfurt, FC Koln remains focused on improving its own infrastructure to provide fans with an even better experience.
