St. Jakob-Arena

The St. Jakob-Arena, with a capacity of 6,300 persons, serves primarily ice sport. This includes ice hockey, figure skating, ice dance, synchronised skating, short track and freestyle skating. However, the ice surface can be covered with special mats to allow the new hall to be used for other types of sport. Needless to say, the new sports facility can also be used for non-sporting events such as concerts, ice revues, ice discos, annual general meetings or cultural events.
