About this audio guide
This guide to the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf goes back to the spring of twenty eleven, when the stadium traded football for the Eurovision Song Contest. It follows Lena Meyer-Landrut, the young singer whose win a year earlier brought the show to this city, and Fortuna Düsseldorf, a club suddenly short of a home ground with three games left to play. Best heard from the stands, looking down at the turf.
