The Bergholz stadium is located in the city of Wil in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen and is the home of the FC Wil football club . The football stadium is owned by the city of Wil. Due to a sponsorship agreement on the naming rights , the venue is currently called IGP Arena .
The total capacity is 6,000. There are 700 seats and 5,300 standing room. The playing surface is made of artificial turf. The stadium has four 38 meter high floodlight masts with a total of 126 lamps and illuminance of 700 lux . In the 2012/13 season, the stadium was renovated into a “Bergholz Sports Park”. That is why the home games of FC Wil during the Swiss Football Championship 2012/13 were played in the AFG Arena in St. Gallen.
In November 2013, the Wil-based company IGP Pulvertechnik bought the naming rights for the sports park. The football stadium will therefore be officially called “IGP Arena” for ten years. The company pays 100,000 francs a year for this.
