A solution had to be found, especially because of the stadium. Because the venue in Maxglan still needs adaptations for the 2nd league, but these renovations can only be started after the submission deadline has ended, the club had to look for an alternative stadium within a 150 kilometer radius. The choice fell on Upper Austria. But not in Ried or Linz (talks with Blau-Weiß and LASK fell apart). But on Steyr!
“They were totally cooperative. “It worked in a very short time,” said Rettenbacher about the talks with the Upper Austrians. In addition, the venue formerly known as the Vorwärts Stadium, now called LIWEST ARENA, is an “old-school stadium that suits us,” emphasized the 42-year-old. A rent was agreed upon that both sides could live well with.
