Ernst Happel Stadium – a stadium with a future?
The Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna's Prater park has been Austria's most talked-about building for several years now. Wherever it is brought up as a topic of discussion, it causes quite a stir. Some want to preserve it, while others advocate for its demolition and the construction of a modern national stadium. Most recently, the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) and team manager Ralf Rangnick have also regularly joined the debate, promoting a multifunctional arena that not only offers space for soccer but also meets the requirements of the times. At Club 2 × 11, the discussion about the present and future of the stadium will be led by various parties. A panel discussion with representatives from sports, politics, and architecture.
