What’s happening at the LVM‑Preußenstadion?

SC Preußen Münster has decided to run the newly upgraded east stand completely ad‑free. Starting on August 1, when the 9,000 seats are first used for the season opener, the stand will be called the "Fiffi‑Gerritzen‑Curve" after club legend Felix "Fiffi" Gerritzen. The name will appear on both the standing steps and the roof banner.

Why is the club opting for an ad‑free fan curve?

Many German stadiums turn terraces into lucrative advertising spaces. Preußen Münster wants to avoid that. The decision is a clear statement in favor of fan culture: supporters should experience the stadium as a pure atmosphere and community hub, without commercial distractions. Even LVM Versicherung, the stadium’s naming sponsor, will not claim any ad rights there.

How is the revenue loss being covered?

The club introduced the "Kurventaler", a solidarity contribution already included in the ticket price for the curve. The model was developed together with fan representatives to offset the missing sponsorship income. This keeps the financial base stable while fans enjoy an untainted matchday experience.

What does this mean for the current season?

Preußen Münster is fighting to stay up in the 2. Bundesliga. The team sits 18th with 30 points, after 6 wins, 12 draws and 16 losses from 34 games. The most recent match on May 17 2026 ended in a 0‑3 loss to SV Elversberg. Recent form stands at 0‑W‑2‑D‑3‑L (LLLDD, most recent a draw). Antonio Tikvić and Simon Scherder are sidelined with injuries. Despite these challenges, the ad‑free curve is expected to give fans a fresh boost of motivation as they cheer loudly for the side.

What can supporters expect in the weeks ahead?

The east stand will become the "mood centre" of the LVM‑Preußenstadion. Fans can look forward to an intense environment that strengthens club spirit. The "Kurventaler" is already built into the ticket price, so there are no extra costs. While the team continues to chase points, officials hope the pure fan experience lifts morale and eventually translates into better results.
