When Nurnberg lost 2-0 to Bundesliga dominators Borussia Dortmond last Sunday, a fan captured the unsettling sight of the awesomely named Frankenstadion (aka the less awesomely named EasyCredit-Stadion) bouncing and buckling under the weight of thousands of fans jumping in unision. But before you hyperventilate and have flashbacks to horrific stadium disasters, Nurnberg officials would like to sooth you with the reassurance that this is supposed to happen. Really.
"It looks scary, but it is not. The stands are specially built for these moments vibration. By the formation of columns, energy can escape."
So there you have it. The upper deck isn't going to collapse, it's just allowing energy to escape. Which really makes it look like it's going to collapse.
