    EVZ gets lead management for Bossard Arena expansion

    The city of Zug, the Kunsteisbahn Zug AG (KEB) and the EV Zug have agreed to implement the expansion of the Bossard Arena in a tenant model. “The city council recognises the necessity of further developing the Bossard Arena,” Urs Raschle, head of the finance department, is quoted as saying in a corresponding statement by the Zug city administration. “With the present Memorandum of Understanding, we have now created the necessary conditions together with the EVZ and KEB.”

    The memorandum of understanding stipulates that the Bossard Arena will remain the property of the city of Zug even after the expansion. KEB will become a tenant of the city and will operate the Bossard Arena on its behalf. KEB’s subtenant EVZ, as the main user of the arena, will realise and finance its expansion. A feasibility study estimates the necessary investments at around 36 million Swiss francs.

    The Keep Building project provides for the expansion of the arena capacity from 7,200 to 9,000 seats and the extension of the catering facilities. Among other things, the northern roof of the stadium is to be steepened and led over an extension module that will be built underneath. It is assumed that planning permission will be granted in 2024, with construction work to be completed in 2027.

    This year, the Zug Ice Sports Club is one of the finalists for the Prix SVC Central Switzerland, which will be awarded on 2 May. With this, the entrepreneurial network Swiss Venture Club honours companies for their innovative products and services, for their corporate culture and for their sustainable track record.

Patrick Fischer, the national ice hockey coach, will give a behind-the-scenes look at the national team with his presentation on “Inside the team”.

  • Nüssli builds a stadium for the Swiss Confederation

    Nüssli builds a stadium for the Swiss Confederation

    The event and construction service provider Nüssli , based in the St.GallenBodenseeArea, was responsible for the construction of the arena for the 22nd time for the Federal Wrestling and Alpine Festival , which takes place from August 26th to 28th in Pratteln BL. According to a press release , the company from Hüttwilen has been building the festival arena for the largest sporting and cultural event in the country since 1961. With six stands and seating for 50,900 spectators, the arena is one of the largest temporary stadiums in the world.

    In addition to the festival grounds, an athletes' village has also been created since June. In order to connect this with the festival area, the ten-strong Nüssli team decided on a footbridge over the nearby railway tracks. Nüssli received support from the army and civil defense. At peak times, up to 300 people were scheduled on the construction site.

    While the majority of the 300,000 building elements from projects in Switzerland were transported to Pratteln in the Basel area, certain components such as stair and roof elements as well as the company's premium grandstand for VIP guests from abroad and major international projects had to be brought in.

    After the crowning of the wrestling king, Nüssli starts dismantling again and transports the components to the next event.
