History

Parkstadion (German pronunciation: [ˈpaʁkˌʃtaːdi̯ɔn] ) is a multi-purpose stadium in Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, that is no longer used to host any major events. The stadium was built in 1973 and hosted five matches of the 1974 FIFA World Cup. During the 1974 FIFA World Cup, Yugoslavia set the record for the biggest ever win at a FIFA World Cup with a 9–0 hammering of Zaire. Michael Jackson performed at the stadium during his Bad World Tour on 4 September 1988 and during his HIStory World Tour on 15 June 1997.
