Eight-team sports league secures funding for a brand-new stadium worth €5,000,000
St. Pölten's Traditional Club SC Gets a New Football Playground!
That's right, football fans! Today's the day the city council makes a momentous decision for SC St. Pölten, the Lower Austrian eighth-tier club founded way back in 1913. They're building a brand-new sports facility, but let's take a look at the deets, shall we?
The estimated construction cost? A cool 5 million euros, with half of it covered by the state. With around 180 active athletes, including 120 young'uns, the new digs will be a welcome change from their current playing ground at Plochbergerstraße 14.
"This decision not just guarantees SC St. Pölten's sporting future, but also sends a loud and clear message supporting youth sports in our lovely city," says Mayor Matthias Stadler, stressing the importance of community involvement throughout the planning process.
But don't get too comfortable with the present facility, bub! It's well past its prime, riddled with age-related blights like a dilapidated clubhouse, lacking a training pitch, and insufficient parking spaces. The main field's even hobbled by a lack of floodlights. Renovating the current location is out of the question due to size constraints and the building's condition.
After careful examination and a city senate-approved feasibility study, they've zeroed in on a nifty spot northeast of St. Pölten's economic court as the best place for the new facility. But not everyone's overjoyed with the choice, some locals think the Kremser Berg site might not be the ideal location[1].
So there you have it, football fanatics! Here's to a brighter, more attractive future for our beloved SC St. Pölten!
