The new LASK Arena on the Gugl in Linz offers fans a special football experience and, as an attractive and functional public venue, significant value for everyone.
The new concept and capacity of the multifunctional arena of the successful traditional Upper Austrian club consolidates its presence in the provincial capital and sets national and international standards far beyond the province's borders.
The repositioning of the arena allows for a compact and closed structure with steep tiers close to the pitch and unrestricted lines of sight.
Top-class sporting encounters and the choruses of the fans are the ingredients that, mixed together, create an atmosphere and mood that remains inside the arena and ensures peace and quiet outside the arena thanks to the outwardly shielding enclosure.
The arena's prominent, easily accessible location in the city centre is taken into account with the design of the arena. The arena and the surrounding outstanding sports facilities (Olympic training centre, 50m swimming pool, training facilities) form a sustainable and future-proof sports base at Gugl, which is enhanced by the arena's facilities.
The unmistakable, elegantly tapered shape of the arena creates immediate recognisability and thus identity - it reflects the inside of the arena to the outside.
Carefully cut as a landmark, the arena's bevelled metal shell reduces the visual height of the arena roof and shields the stadium atmosphere from the outside. The unique shape of the roof and building is characterised by this metal cladding.
Comprehensive sustainable thinking with regard to social, economic and environmental aspects characterise the ultra-modern, efficient arena. Existing technical systems were used in the new construction, ventilation systems are designed with heat recovery and the retrofitting of a PV system is guaranteed. Conserving resources was the top priority for the new building. Due to the required heights and steepness, the stands from the old stadium could not be reused. However, they were not simply disposed of, but the concrete was recycled and reused in the production of the new prefabricated elements.
The new LASK Arena on Linz's traditional sports grounds Gugl offers a special football experience and, as an attractive, functional public space, significant added value for everyone. The new concept offers a capacity of 19,080 seats, 42 Sky boxes, 2 event boxes and a total of 1,736 business seats. The multifunctional arena of the successful traditional Upper Austrian club sets national and international standards. The distinctive, elegantly tapered shape of the arena looks like a diamond and is visible from afar. It creates immediate recognition and thus identity - it reflects the interior of the arena to the outside. The architectural design of the arena is timeless and authentic and puts the sport and the spectators in the foreground. Carefully tailored to the spatial requirements, the bevelled metal shell of the arena reduces the visual height of the arena roof and shields the stadium atmosphere from the outside, both acoustically and in terms of light. The unique shape of the roof and building is characterised by this metal cladding, which is pierced in places with louvres to bring light into the interior of the building. The promenade level is shielded by the single-story kiosk and adjoining room zone.
The construction of the Raiffeisen Arena in the heart of Linz has ushered in a new era of football - for Linz, for Upper Austria and for LASK. The stadium not only raises football in Upper Austria to a new level, but also provides strong regional investment impulses for the business location, generates sustainable added value and creates important jobs.
