Nicknamed 'Die Nullfünfer' (The 05ers) or 'Karnevalsverein' (Carnival Club), Mainz plays its home matches at the 33,305-capacity MEWA Arena. The club's identity is strongly tied to carnival culture, as Mainz is one of Germany's three foremost carnival cities. The 'Narrhallamarsch' (a famous German carnival tune) is played after every Mainz goal scored at home. The club maintains strong community connections through its charity branch 'Mainz 05 hilft e.V.'
