Mile of fans at the Brandenburg Gate. - The European Championship field in Berlin is being installed.
The 17th of June Street will be shut down for three months, causing buses to detour. This is due to the need to cover 24,000 square meters in front of the Brandenburg Gate and a section of the street with artificial blades of polypropylene. The bill for this project is 1.2 million euros.
The green asphalt already captivates wild creatures. A picture captures a fox on the heaps!
A post-Euro 2024 clean-up will take place where the artificial grass will be wet-cleaned and rejuvenated. These pieces will then be donated to football fields for reuse.

Natural grass wasn't a viable option for the Euro Championship fan zone because it would have had to be watered constantly. The unpredictable weather conditions with intense rainfall and severe heat would have been too much for it.
Natural grass was not suitable for the European Championship Fan Mile because it would have necessitated daily watering. The unstable weather conditions featuring heavy downpours and intense heat would have been too much for it.
