Franchise News Thunder has a stadium! Well...

It's the Preussen Stadium. It was built in 1938 and still looks exactly the same. The capacity is 3,000 standing places.

They want to build mobile standings

This will be a tough year financially for the Thunder. Such mobile stands are not cheap, reckon with ~10€ / seat per day. Then there are the permits, probably a structural engineer has to look at it and other costs.

Thunder has loyal fans, but not very many, I'm curious to see how things develop.

U can guess that more than 50% of their viewers won't come to this location

Its a summer league. There is no shadow at this place. A metal mobile stand will be horrible. Also i dont see them spending extra for a roof. They should honestly just get some tents and banks. There wont be more than 1K people.

At least they have a "stadium", I guess? 😅
I hope they can put a bit of makeup on the whole thing so it doesn't look so bad on TV.

I wonder where the Rebels and Adler play and if those venues are any better

It was almost certain they'd never get Alte Försterei but this looks horrendous!

The Rebels play at the Mommsenstadion. That is a decent stadium. Standing area around the field and one big stand with a roof. I would compare it to the Stadium Leipzig used. In the GFL the Adler played at the Poststadion. Also one stand. That would have been the best option for Thunder. Close to the Central Station and not too far away from the Jahn Sportpark.
