Hi dear Marvin :hi:


Thank you very much for your useful information :hi::hi:

Can Düsseldorf manage ESC ???Well, let me say, they can. And that very easily.

To host the ESC is very expensive. Düsseldorf is one of the richest (if not the richest) city in germany.
The Airport at Düsseldorf is very large and is well known to all, who are familiar with flying around the world.
The city Düsseldorf itself is not that large. But nearby, with a travel-time less than one hour, live more people than in new york.
But the point in the end was, that Düsseldorf offers the best location for this event, the esprit-arena.

And in this esprit-arena more than 30.000 people can watch the show. It will be a very big party. :thumbsup:

Esprit arena is a multipurpose arena like Telenor Arena in Oslo.

Hey dear Pooya,


Is " lufthansa " national airline of Germany like " IRAN Air " in our country ?

Lufthansa was state-owned until the 60s and had fully been privatized in the 90s, so we don't really have a national airline, but Lufthansa is still the biggest and most popular one.


Whats the meaning of " Arena " ?

"Arena" comes from the Latin language and means sth like "battlefield" - today's meaning only includes sport events and contests of course ;)

...And the most expensive one :D

Hey Pooya, multipurpose stadiums are called <insert sponsor name here> Arena, and are designed to host a multitude of different kind of events (Soccer; Music; Sports in general; Entertainment events etc...). Places where we just play soccer are still just called, plain and simple, stadium :D

Dear Cybrescut & dear Ben :hi:

Now I understand , Thank you very much :-*:-*;)



All The best , Pooya
