Having gone to Dortmund with mates in the summer 2 years ago, I’m confident in saying that the stadium tour is the only thing worth doing there… |  | | |

Given that I'm staying in Gelsenkirchen (the German version if Rotherham), I'll take Dortmund any day of the week! | |

Must be bad…
Me and my mates did reckon that those weren’t the actual changing rooms, or at best case the away changing room.
Weirdly, I did the Portman road stadium tour today and I agree our home changing room is very tidy | | | |

Perhaps the comparison is: our home changing-room is "better" than Dormund's away changing-room. |  |

Is that a Leverkusen reference? |  |

Everything pointed towards it being the home dressing room, and even the signs over the two routes off the mixed zone showed that it was the home dressing room. I can't imagine that they'd go to such lengths to 're-badge' the away dressing room, especially with the number of Dortmund die-hards on the tour.
Ties in with this (admittedly dated) Twitter post as well:

Close, but no cigar - it's Schalke 04. | |

Just having done some Googling, I've seen two reasons for it:
1) DFB rules state that away dressing rooms must have the same facilities/amenities as home dressing rooms.
2) It's by design, in order to keep the players grounded in the working class roots of the club. | |

Show me your "eveything pointed to" and "signs over the two routes" in the OP. | |

I stayed in a guest house just outside the ground once on a work trip. I was gutted to find they weren’t offering tours at the time. It looks like an awesome ground from the outside. Some quite nice walks around the area too if I remember rightly. |  |

You missed the German National Football Museum, near the station, which is magnificent. | | | |

Agree - it really is a bleak city. Chat football to the locals and they're only interested in telling you about how fantastic BVB are as well. |  | | |
