Stadion Wiener Neustadt

Stadion Wiener Neustadt (also known as Magna Arena) is a football stadium, in the city of Wiener Neustadt, near Vienna, Austria. The stadium was also called the Teddybären & Plüsch-Stadion during the 2017-18 season, after a German toy company won a 500€ ticket raffle to nickname the stadium during that season. The stadium opened in 1955, with its construction taking three years. Between 1955 and 2008, the stadium's been home to the former 1. Wiener Neustädter SC football team. After 2008, it's been the home ground to SC Wiener Neustadt, a result of a merge between Wiener Neustädter SC and FC Magna. The stadium itself underwent major renovations in the 1980s, including the installation of floodlights (which were upgraded in 2008), and the completion of the main stand. The stadium's seated capacity sits around 4,290, while its total capacity on stands is at around 7,700. The total capacity of the stadium sits at around 10,000. It is located next to the indoor Arena Nova, in the Nova City part of the town.

The stadium broke its record in attendance in 1963, hen 12,000 people watched the match between SC Wiener Neustadt and Austria Wien, which resulted in a home victory. The stadium also hosted the first leg of the 1964–65 Austrian Cup, the 1965–66 European Cup Winners' Cup match against Ştiinţa Cluj and the Austrian Supercup final in 1992. Stadion Wiener Neustadt also hosted a couple of concerts, including Iron Maiden and the Nova Rock Encore festival.
