Overview
- Authorities say the two eastern masts will be brought down by controlled detonation beginning around 11:00, preceded by standardized warning tones.
- A security cordon covering the sport park, parts of Mauerpark and the Max-Schmeling-Halle must be cleared by 10:00, while residents may remain in their homes.
- Police will briefly restrict traffic during the operation, with possible impacts on tram line M10, and all measures are slated to lift by about 11:30.
- Sound levels inside the cordon are expected to peak near 100 decibels, dust should be limited for the steel structures, and the masts are planned to fall onto the pitch.
- Two remaining masts will be retained for integration into the new venue, with full arena construction slated to start in the first half of 2026 and take two to three years.
