history

The vast meadows east of the Sill at the foot of the Paschberg served the Innsbruck population as a recreational area, and sleigh races and horse races as well as cattle markets have been held here since the 19th century. In 1903 the Tivoli inn was opened, which subsequently gave the entire site its name. In 1913, the local council decided to build the sports field on the Sill . During the First World War this was built with barracks. It was reopened in 1920, renovated in 1924 and adapted for international competitions. It consisted of two soccer fields, the northern field served as a training field, the southern one was surrounded by a 400 m cinder track . On May 16 and 17, 1925, the facility was opened with numerous competitions, including an athletics city battle between Innsbruck and Klagenfurt , which Innsbruck won with 42:39 points, a soccer game between Salzburg and Innsbruck (3: 1) and a hockey game between Pasing and Munich against Cricketer Innsbruck (3-0).
