the club’s former home - the Stadion Albert Florian – which is on
the same site.
The stadium is integrated in a wider €200m - €300m commercial
development which includes 70,000 sq m office space, a 200-250 bed
hotel, over 2000 car parking spaces, a travel interchange, leisure
facilities and 46,000 sq m of retail/commercial space.
