Graz: Machbarkeitsstudie zu Zwei-Stadion-Lösung für Sturm und GAK geplant - On The Grid Ep: 550

After Sturm Graz achieved the double this year (league and cup titles) and GAK also won the second division title and are now promoted to the Bundesliga, the long-simmering debate about two stadiums or a viable solution for the Liebenau Stadium has backfired on city politics. Due to the coronavirus crisis and other economic factors, a committee was only established last year to address the issue. This committee last met on May 21st and presented its findings. Following Sturm Graz's championship victory, the city government hastily called a press conference for 7:00 PM on Tuesday, the day after the championship celebrations at Graz City Hall and the main square. At the press conference, the committee's findings were presented, and it was clearly stated that the open space near the Puntigam public transport hub would offer the best conditions for a new stadium. However, other projects and other requirements are also being considered and will be discussed in the upcoming feasibility study. ``` The next step is to commission a feasibility study by the end of the year/spring 2024 to examine the possibilities of a two-stadium solution or even just a viable expansion of the existing arena in Liebenau. The city council is expected to commission the feasibility study in June/July, with costs estimated at approximately €200,000. More details on our website: https://www.inside-politics.at/stadio...
