New stadium of the Vienna Sport Club: Progress enthusiastic fans!
On May 15, numerous officials, sponsors, players, supervisors and fans were invited to visit the construction site at the sports club in Hernals. The occasion was the progressive recovery of the home of the Vienna Sports Club. The work that started disassembling the main and cemetery stands in June 2024 are now showing the first results. As part of the surface construction, concrete supports and steel booths are visible for the roofing of the main grandstand, such as OTS reported.
City Councilor Peter Hacker emphasized the importance of tradition, modernity and sustainability as part of the project during the tour. The completion is planned for the end of 2025, while the official reopening in spring 2026 is scheduled to take place. The WSC section manager David Krapf-Günther was pleased with the upcoming move into the new stadium.
sustainable components and modernization
The new main and cemetery stands are equipped with a photovoltaic system that is to achieve an output of approx. 100 kWp, and extensive green roof. Unnecessary energy is fed into the Viennese network, which represents a significant contribution to climate protection. This environmentally friendly planning is an example of the requirements for sports facilities, which are becoming increasingly important in the discussion about sustainable solutions. According to Slideserve are the factors costs, economy and environmental tolerance.
For the newly designed stadium, the aim is to equipment for "UEFA category 2", which means that it is not only suitable for the Vienna Sport Club itself, but also for the women's national team, young teams as well as rugby and American football games. The capacity of the stadium will be a total of 5,500 spectators in national and 4,500 in international encounters.
outlook and future of the location
The structural completion of the project is scheduled for the end of 2025, followed by complete commissioning in the second quarter of 2026. The location not only meets the needs of the Vienna Sports Club, but also offers a future perspective for a variety of uses that meet the requirements for modern sports facilities. The planning and execution is the responsibility of the WIP Wiener Infrastructure Projekt GmbH, which is characterized by innovative approaches in the industry.
Overall, the project is a step into the future of Austrian sport, which not only relies on modern structures, but also on sustainable energy use and environmental awareness.
