Dynamo Dresden experiences a surge in fan support. - A packed stadium may be viewed as a curse rather than a benefit.
Ultimately, 28,732 signifies more than a new record for the third division for Dynamo Dresden. They even outperformed six of the Bundesliga teams from the previous season.
Wolfsburg, Bochum, Union Berlin, Hoffenheim, Darmstadt, and Heidenheim are among those fell short in terms of numbers, attributed to their smaller stadiums. To make it more shocking, ten other teams in the 2. Liga couldn't surpass Dynamo's tally.
Folks, this is insanity! Dynamo Dresden's Rudolf-Harbig-Stadium was sold out eight times, with 30,000 spectators in attendance. In total, a whopping 546,342 spectators visited the venue last season. That's almost as many people as reside in Dresden itself.
And let's not forget the unexpected financial benefits - nearly 1.5 million euros were earned due to an increase of 5,700 spectators. Originally, the season was expected to attract only 23,000 fans, which is overshadowed by the impressive attendance numbers.
The home games were a double-edged sword
However, from a sporting perspective, this massive crowd should've been a game-changer. But it seemed to turn out overwhelming for the athletes, potentially contributing to their pressured performance.
Interim coach Heiko Scholz: "It's unfortunate to think about how many games we lost at home in the second half of the season."
Exactly five of the ten home games ended in Dynamo's loss. The end results remained a source of silence for a Bundesliga-level arena.
The phrase 'The Twelfth Man' in their club anthem demonstrates: "When the black and white team isn't sailing smoothly, we fans remain loyal as gold." But it would've been great if they seized that chance to get on a winning streak!
