Building history
The episode of Flash St. Pölten is also part of the history of a new stadium in St. Pölten . The association and the city of St. Pölten fell for the fraudster Benjamin Englisch (alias Benjamin Abramovici ) in November 1999 , who pretended to provide over five billion schillings for a new association. Among other things, a huge stadium was planned that should have cost two billion schillings. English was arrested in December of that year.
In September 2006 there was an agreement in principle between the Province of Lower Austria and the Republic of Austria. A month later, a project study was commissioned which, based on a needs analysis, suggested an expandable capacity of 8,000 seats. It was also proposed to build a pure football stadium (without the use of a jacket ) and a VIP area as a separate event location. In September 2007 a working group was set up with representatives from the federal government, the state, the city, Sportwelt Lower Austria, SKN and HYPO Real Consult to further develop the project. The result was a stadium concept by NÖ Hypo Bauplanungs- und Bauträgergesellschaft mbH from December 12, 2007. The name of the construction project for the football stadium was “Niederösterreich-Arena”.
