The Kraichgauers played an offensive, attractive style of football that not only delivered results but also captivated the spectators. Their home matches at the stadium became an experience that continually drew fans back to the arena.

The decisive moment came on the final matchday of the Bundesliga when Hoffenheim faced FC Augsburg. A draw or a win would be enough to secure the coveted Champions League qualification.
