A Glimpse into History
Originally inaugurated in 1967, the stadium was known for many years as the Stadion am Dallenberg, named after the hill on which it proudly sits. Its early years saw the Würzburger Kickers establishing their presence in amateur and lower professional leagues. The stadium itself grew organically with the club's fortunes, undergoing various improvements and expansions over the decades. A pivotal moment arrived with the club's successive promotions, notably reaching the 3. Liga and even the 2. Bundesliga, which necessitated significant modernizations to meet DFL requirements. These transformations included improvements to the floodlighting, media facilities, and the installation of heated pitches, all while preserving the charm of its original design.

The Modern Era
The current name, flyeralarm Arena, was adopted in 2013, reflecting a partnership with the locally based online print shop, flyeralarm, a prominent regional business. This sponsorship underscores the strong connection between the club, its stadium, and the Würzburg community. The venue continues to be the pulsating heart of the Würzburger Kickers, hosting their home matches and serving as a vital training ground for emerging talent.
