In addition, a streetball facility, a soccer cage, and a padel tennis facility, as well as a calisthenics facility are to be built. Moreover, energetic self-sufficiency of the entire sports facility should be ensured. Additionally, the entire facility is to be renovated and a clubhouse built. The stadium should also be made suitable for at least the fourth division. The Burgwall-Stadion is not far from the Bremen-Blumenthal train station, which can be reached via the RS1 S-Bahn line and the BSAG bus lines 90, 91, 92, 94, 95 and 96. It is also located directly on the A270 federal motorway near exit 2 (Bremen-Lüssum) and exit 3 (Bremen-Blumenthal).
