Abstract
ABSTRACT Caused by COVID-19 pandemic the last matches of the 2019/2020 season and almost all of the matches of the 2020/2021 season had to be played behind closed doors in the German Bundesliga. I ask which factors prevent football supporters from returning to the stadium after the COVID-19 pandemic? These questions are answered with the help of a quantitative survey among the supporters of a major Bundesliga club. This club has launched this survey among its club members, season ticket holders and fan club members from 26 March 2021to 11 April 2021. In total, 28,111 people completed the questionnaire. The analysis shows that the two factors of ‘feeling at home before’ and ‘feeling at home during the COVID-19 pandemic’ made fans want to return to the stadium. Fear of COVID-19 in general and a negative assessment of developments in football in general made supporters reluctant to come to the stadium.
