One of the most important, if not the most important, area covered by the FIFA regulations is stadium safety, in which the quality of the alarm and public address systems is of crucial importance. Like many of the top football stadiums in Europe, the Central Stadium is equipped with a sound system from EVI Audio; in this case, a Dynacord ProAnnounce, comprising DPM 4000 digital system controllers, DCS 420 monitor units and DPA 4140 power amplifiers, installed with support from Sigma TBL of Chemnitz.
The most striking visual aspect of the 45,000-seater stadium, apart from its lavish hospitality suites, is the spectacular roof construction with its integrated floodlights. The stadium is run by the Zentralstadion Leipzig Betreibergesellschaft mbH (ZSL).
