The club played its 2004 UEFA Cup matches, however, in Cologne's RheinEnergieStadion. In August 2009 the new stadium, the New Tivoli was opened, which has a capacity of 32,960 spectators (11,681 in standing areas).

Nickname

Alemannia has the strange nickname of the "Potato Beetles". This is because of their striped yellow-black jerseys, which make them look like the beetles.
