The "Vienna Holding-Arena", which will receive up to 20,000 visitors in the future, will be designed as one of the best multifunctional event centers in Europe. It will be the scene for large concerts, sports events, trade fairs and even e-sports events. According to Economic City Councilor Peter Hanke, the goal is obvious: the arena is to be completed by 2030. A total of 145 events in the new arena are expected each year, which contributes to a significant enrichment of the event offer in Vienna, as the Vienna city press confirmed.

The planning provides for a sustainable implementation according to the latest standards, and the arena is built according to the highest demands on event technology and security. "Our common goal is to develop the new Vienna Holding-Arena into one of the 'must-play arenas' in Europe," said the managing director of Vienna Holding, Kurt Gollowitzer. The request of the municipal council is a crucial step to realize this lighthouse project as quickly as possible, and is therefore of great importance for future events in the city, report both OE24 and the city press.
