SC Bern Stadium Solutions: Plans for a New Home

Eismeister Zaugg

Marc Lüthi hat den Zeitpunkt seines Abschieds gut gewählt: Das Stadionproblem ist inzwischen offenbar weitgehend gelöst und er kann ruhig in Rente gehen. Die Fans sollten sich innerlich auf drei Jahre Leben mit einer Baustelle auf und neben dem Eis vorbereiten.

Der SCB-Hockeytempel (PostFinance-Arena) ist längst eine «flachland-Valascia» geworden: Wenig Komfort für das Proletariat und ungastlich kalt. Warm haben nur die VIP-Gäste. Will der SCB mittelfristig unser Hockey wieder rocken, dann muss das Stadionproblem gelöst werden.Die Stadionfrage ist also mittelfristig wichtiger als sportlicher Ruhm.

Life Arena in Zürich (12,000) is the largest in the country. It should remain so despite a future smaller capacity. around 15,000 seats are planned, with only 4,000 to 6,000 for standing fans. the legendary standing ramp on the long side will therefore disappear, and the standing places will be moved closer to the pitch behind one of the two goals. This will improve the atmosphere. The current VIP area will largely remain unchanged in the new stadium. The fully renovated arena will not take up more space then the old one.

The connections for private and public transport are already in place, and there will be no increased burden from higher traffic volume. Therefore,the entire approval and objection process,which can block such a project for years,is eliminated. A referendum is also not required.

The financing question remains. In detail, the costs have not yet been calculated.But the new or completely renovated arena will cost more than 100 million. The money is to come from private investors. That is a faithful account of what has been heard regarding the SCB stadium question.

A stadium renovation, as it apparently is taking shape, means:

Please provide the prompt/question you want me to answer. I am ready to begin once you provide the topic.
