Top Games in North Rhine-Westphalia

Make sure you arrive at your seat about 15 minutes before the match starts to catch all the pre-game excitement—it really sets the mood for the night.

If you’re planning on grabbing a bite, skip the arena food! Head to nearby restaurants like Hürth or Sülz for better prices and tastier options before the game.

Check the public transport schedule ahead of time; the U-Bahn is a lifesaver post-game, but it can get super crowded, and waiting for the next train can drain your excitement

i recommend arriving at the stadium around 2 hours before kick-off to soak in the pre-match atmosphere. there's loads of excitement building up and it really enhances the whole experience!

If you wanna save some cash, I suggest grabbing some snacks and drinks at a nearby supermarket instead of in the stadium. Prices inside can be a bit steep.

Consider going on a weekday around 4 PM. It’s way less crowded then, and you’ll get more space to play or practice your game without that competitive weekend rush.

Don’t be shy to ask locals for tips on playing Pétanque better. They are usually super friendly and willing to share some local tricks to get you started.

Bring your own snacks and drinks if you can. The on-site options are limited and can be pricey. A little picnic always makes the day more enjoyable!
