Salzburg: Mayor against stadium at the exhibition center
After those responsible for the Salzburg exhibition grounds, where the new SV Austria Salzburg stadium is to be built, recently spoke out against building an in-house building, the city’s mayor has also positioned himself.
The Austrian football club Austria Salzburg and sponsor Max Aicher have been planning to build a new stadium for some time. The billionaire would assume all the costs of the new stadium and then give the property to the city, so the theory.

The Max Aicher Group Yesterday at the end of last year plans for the project were dying. Accordingly, a multi-purpose stadium with an attached residential complex is planned. The appropriate plot of land would be offered by the Salzburg exhibition center.
In an interview with the Salzburg news the mayor of Salzburg now spoke out against this possibility. One does not want to “sacrifice” the fair for the stadium, said Harald Preuner. The city’s politics are divided compared to the plans of the billionaire Austria sponsor Max Aicher. A final decision is not imminent. (Stadionwelt, January 10th, 2022)
