The Voralpenstadion Vöcklabruck ( since 2012 Volksbankstadion ) is a sports facility in Vöcklabruck ( Upper Austria ). Although all facilities for athletics are available, it is primarily used for football and was the home of 1. FC Vöcklabruck , today it houses the newly founded Vöcklabrucker Sportclub and is also an alternate stadium for SV Austria Salzburg for games in the ÖFB Cup , as the Homestead in Maxglan does not meet the minimum requirements. It has a capacity of 4400 spectators, of which 1000 are covered seats. A capacity of 10,400 visitors is possible for concerts.
In addition to a club building with a restaurant, the stadium includes a VIP room, a table tennis facility, heavy athletics rooms, a shooting range, three secondary playing fields (including one artificial turf field), three fistball courts and a beach volleyball court.
history
The sports facility was built in 1978 and officially opened on September 2, 1979. With the opening, the then Vöcklabruck football clubs ASKÖ and SV played their home games in the Voralpenstadion. The LCAV athletics club also moved to the facility. This produced successful athletes like Andreas Berger . The multi-purpose facility enabled the city of Vöcklabruck to hold larger events. From July 15 to 21, 1985, the 8th International Fire Brigade Competitions of the World Fire Brigade Association CTIF (Fire Brigade Olympics ) were held in the Voralpenstadion . For the first time, volunteer fire brigades took part in the fire fighting competition. They thrilled the audience as well as the numerous athletics events. In August 2003 the stadium hosted the 14th European Rifle Meeting.
The stadium area was renovated from 2006 to 2007 to meet the increased demands of the local soccer club 1. FC Vöcklabruck . The most noticeable renovation is the construction of a floodlight system in 2006 and the installation of new seats in the club and city colors.
