The club has stated that the image rights for home games are contractually owned by TV partners of the 2. Bundesliga. As a result, publications with commercial purposes based on this agreement are prohibited. The updated rules aim to prevent commercial content from being made and shared online, particularly on the tribunes where fans often film and share footage.
The club hopes that the new regulations will help reduce the number of videos and photos being taken in the stadium. To achieve this, the club requires explicit prior permission from SDPG or the event organizer for commercial content creation. A new clause has been added to the house rules, prohibiting the production of content with the intention of generating income.
