The stadium Herti , even Herti stadium or ice rink Herti called, was an ice rink in Herti district in the political community train in the Swiss Canton train .

It was completed in 1967. At that time it had a capacity of around 8,200 visitors. In the 1960s, the ice rink was rebuilt; It was decided to convert the standing room on a side straight and parts behind the goals into seats. As a result, of the 8,200 seats in the hall, only 6,780 were left. Of the 6,780 seats, 2,858 seats and 3,922 standing places were now available. The Herti ice rink served the EV Zug ice hockey team as a venue for their home games. EV Zug has celebrated the runner-up title twice since its resurgence in 1987 and won the National League A championship in the Herti ice rink in 1998 . In addition to ice hockey , curling and figure skating took place in the ice rink .

history

The three ZKB bankers Werner Camenzind, Jost Grob and Richard Hager laid the foundation stone for the construction of an artificial ice rink in 1957 . Five years later the architect Karl Aklin was commissioned by the city to work out a sports facility concept in Hertiallmend, which was approved by the local community . The city approved a loan of 152,000 Swiss francs. In the same year the KEF Initiative Committee was established. Thanks to the consent of the Zug people, the KEB managed to secure a permit for the " Herti " area development.

In March 1963, the architect Aklin presented KEB with a cost estimate for the first time ; it amounted to around 3,825,000 Swiss francs. On July 4, 1965, the citizens of the city of Zug voted 1,350 yes to 570 no for this building, and on October 24, 1966, the Kunsteisbahn Zug AG was founded and all statutes were approved.

The groundbreaking ceremony took place on October 10, 1966 and the topping-out ceremony was held at the end of June 1967 . On November 26th of that year the ice rink was ceremoniously opened to the public by the then mayor Robert Wiesendanger .

In the 1970s, there was a great desire for a hall roof. At the beginning of 1974 the planning orders could be placed and on July 16, 1975 the decision for the project of the Zug carpenters followed. The roofing of the hall began in April 1976 so that the hall could be made available to the EVZ in time for the start of the 1976/77 season .

On May 10, 2010 the stadium was torn down and had to give way to the new Bossard Arena , which has been the new EV Zug venue since the 2010/11 season. The Bossard Arena has space for 7,015 spectators (4,280 seats and 2,735 standing places).
