Ground
Since 2003 the home games of FCR 2001 Duisburg have been played at the 3,000-capacity PCC Stadium in the Duisburg district of Homberg. They share the stadium with VfB Homberg, a male team currently playing in the Oberliga. Previously FCR played at "Am Waldbronn" in Rumeln-Kaldenhausen. During the 2009/10 season, the club was playing its home games in the UEFA Champions League at the Stadion Niederrhein (Lower Rhine Stadium) in Oberhausen, because the floodlights in the PCC-Stadium did not meet the requirements laid down by UEFA.

Famous quotes containing the word ground:
“When the ground was partially bare of snow, and a few warm days had dried its surface somewhat, it was pleasant to compare the first tender signs of the infant year just peeping forth with the stately beauty of the withered vegetation which had withstood the winter ... decent weeds, at least, which widowed Nature wears.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Nor must Uncle Sam’s Web-feet be forgotten. At all the watery margins they have been present. Not only on the deep sea, the broad bay, and the rapid river, but also up the narrow muddy bayou, and wherever the ground was a little damp, they have been, and made their tracks.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Even great towers start at ground level.”
—Chinese proverb.
