Club: SNK St. P\u00f6lten | Opening: 2012 | Capacity: 8,000 seats<\/p>\n
The NV Arena replaced St. Polten’s old Voithplatz, which had been the home of the club and its predecessors since 1951. The Voithplatz was a very simple ground consisting of a small seater stand and bleachers on earth mounds, and with St. Polten’s increasing successes a more comfortable stadium was needed.<\/p>\n
First plans for the new stadium were presented in 2006, but it took until early 2011 for building\u00a0works to start. Construction took a little over a year and the new NV Arena opened on 7 July 2012 with a tournament including St. Polten, Rapid Wien, and Sparta Prague.<\/p>\n
The NV Arena came at a cost of \u20ac18 million. The stadium is easily expandable to a capacity of 13,000 seats.<\/p>\n
