Talk:MHPArena

Question
Inside the Wikipedia page for the "Mercedes Benz arena" located in Stuttgart Germany, you indicate under the picture "record attendance 97,553 22 November 1950." But in the body of the page, under the trivia section, second one down reads, "Germany's first international football match after World War II in 1950 (against Switzerland) was played at the stadium. The match attendance of 103,000 is the stadium record. The first match after the German reunification in 1990." Im concerned about the differences in facts and would be interested in knowing which is accurate. Sincerely, --77.250.137.112 (talk) 23:59, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

UEFA name?
The Mercedes-Benz Arena name cannot be used in UEFA competitions due to the rules surrounding stadium naming rights, right? So by what name is the stadium known in continental competitions? I feel that information is important to have.Damn me (talk) 18:57, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

MHPArena (Stuttgart) → MHPArena – On 1 July 2023 the official name of the former Mercedes-Benz Arena (spnsored name, see Mercedes-Benz) changed to MHPArena (another sponsored name, see MHP Management- und IT-Beratung = a Porsche company) On the actual building the name is already changed. Every name of the stadium since 1993 was a sponsored name. German supporters like to call the stadium Neckarstadion or Daimlerstadion but there isn't any name which is really popular because with it's original name the stadium had the worst possible start in 1933. 

Search results from the past don't matter because the name change wasn't announced before 27 June 2023. It only matters which names will be used in the future when people want to find this article and common sense tells us that journalists will immediately use the new name, just like they did when I moved Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion to Mercedes-Benz Arena on 30 July 2008. It is obviously inappropiate to use a former sponsored name when Mercedes-Benz gave up the naming rights and a Porsche (different automobile manufacturer) company secured the naming rights. Some stadiums aren't moved to a new sponsored name immediately. But the difference is: These stadiums had an established traditional name before. The MHPArena doesn't have such a traditional name because every name was sponsored since 1993.

So there obviously is no perfect solution but media already start to use the new name  and there is no doubt that English journalists will do the same when the 2023–24 Bundesliga starts. MHPArena is what will be searched most when people want to find out more about this stadium from this day.

Then there is another MHPArena which is called Arena Ludwigsburg. It's capacity equals less than 10 percent when it is compared with the MHPArena in Stuttgart. There were 82.563 pageviews for the stadium in Stuttgart during the last year (with the former name) but only 2.193 pageviews for Arena Ludwigsburg during the last year. So it is obvious that the MHPArena in Stuttgart is going to be the primary topic according to MOS:PRIMARYTOPIC. Yoda1893 (talk) 13:22, 1 July 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Support, a hatnote to Arena Ludwigsburg should suffice. 162 etc. (talk) 20:40, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. GiantSnowman 16:43, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose - we do not use sponsored names where an alternative exists, and the article confirms it has a non-sponsored name of 'Neckarstadion', so I suggest it is moved there instead. GiantSnowman 16:45, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Just like when the article about the RheinEnergieStadion was named Müngersdorfer Stadion before this requested move, it would be total fiction to name this stadium Neckarstadion. You won't find a single English source which uses Neckarstadion when it is about the present but not about the past. In the German article about VfB Stuttgart I wrote the most parts about the history of this club. So the name Neckarstadion for sure means more to me than to you. But the sad truth is that Neckarstadion didn't remain a common name and isn't even used by any German newspaper (except for reports about matches before 1993). Neckarstadion is even much less popular than Müngersdorfer Stadion is and the result of the discussion about this stadium was very clear. I don't get why you changed your own opinion. The Neckarstadion was a stadium with a running track. Since 1993 nearly every part of the stadium was demolished and rebuilt during the redevelopments since then. Since it is a football-specific stadium without running track, it never was called Neckarstadion in any report about the present. --Yoda1893 (talk) 17:46, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - there is no alternative to the official name of the MHPArena which qualifies as common name. This is probably why this article used always a sponsored name since Wikipedia exists. When I am not actually inside the MHPArena, I watch every match of VfB Stuttgart on German PayTV and TV commentators or interview guests never call the stadium Neckarstadion. Instead they always used the name which was official at the time. First Gottlieb-Daimler-Stadion, then Mercedes-Benz Arena and now it is going to be MHPArena. Only some supporters still call it Neckarstadion. But even a lot of supporters who were raised as kids after 1993 call it either Daimler-Stadion or MBA instead. 217.240.181.223 (talk) 08:06, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
