The sports and leisure park Tivoli Stadion Tirol , usually Tivoli for short , is a football stadium in the Pradl district of the Austrian city ​​of Innsbruck , capital of the state of Tyrol . It is part of the Tivoli sports complex . The stadium is home to the soccer club FC Wacker Innsbruck and the American football club Swarco Raiders Tirol and is also used for concerts. There is also a climbing hall in Tivoli-Neu .

The Tivoli belongs to an amalgamation of several sports and event facilities in Innsbruck called OlympiaWorld Innsbruck . These include the Innsbruck Olympic Hall , the Tyrolean Wasserkraft Arena and the Igls bobsleigh rink .

history

The new Tivoli was built between March 1999 and September 2000 according to plans by the architect Albert Wimmer for around 30 million euros. It replaced the old Tivoli Stadium as the largest football stadium in Tyrol. The stadium offers 17,400 standing and seats for national games and 16,008 seats for international games. FC Tirol won the opening game on September 8, 2000 with a late goal from Markus Scharrer against SK Rapid Wien 1-0.

After the bankruptcy of FC Tirol in 2002, the stadium had no potential users, a problem that was solved with the help of the establishment of the game community between the regional league club WSG Swarovski Wattens and the newly founded FC Wacker Tirol - now FC Wacker Innsbruck.

For the 2008 European Football Championship , in which three games were played in Tivoli-Neu, the stadium was expanded to a capacity of over 31,600 seats by temporarily increasing the south, north and west stands. The east stand could not be expanded due to a street directly behind it. The construction costs for the increase and the dismantling amounted to 30.6 million euros. So far, nine international matches for the Austrian national team have taken place at Tivoli-Neu - against Liechtenstein, Belarus, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Ivory Coast, Lithuania, Ukraine, Romania and Iceland - they won seven games and played two draws. In addition, the Spanish national team completed two friendly international matches against South Korea and Saudi Arabia at Tivoli in the course of their preparation for the 2010 World Cup .

The Tivoli-Neu is also the home of the three-time Austrian champions and European Cup winners in American football , the Swarco Raiders Tirol . The game for the Eurobowl XXV on June 17, 2011 was watched by 8,600 spectators, which at that time meant the record setting for an American football game in Austria (the game for the Austrian Bowl XVII in Vienna, however, exceeded this mark a week later) . The stadium was also the venue for three international matches as part of the American Football World Cup 2011 , in which Innsbruck was the venue alongside Vienna and Graz.

In August 2011, FC Wacker Innsbruck signed a sponsorship contract with Tirol-Werbung, which also includes the stadium naming rights. For the next ten years the stadium will be called “Tivoli Stadion Tirol”.

It should be noted that the stadium (as well as the entire amusement park) is popularly known as the Tivoli, while its namesake in Aachen is always called the Tivoli .

In the 2019/20 season, WSG Tirol will play its home games in Tivoli , as the Gernot Langes Stadium at home is not suitable for the first division and is being renovated.
