Raiffeisen Arena

About Raiffeisen Arena: Layout, History & Architecture

Opened in February 2023, the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz presents a thoroughly modern, functional stadium architecture, primarily serving as the home ground for LASK football club. Constructed with a robust palette of concrete, steel, and glass, the design prioritises operational efficiency and spectator experience. The stadium features four distinct stands – North, South, East, and West – providing a total capacity of 19,080 for sports events.

For live music and other large-scale performances, the configuration typically involves a flat standing area established on the pitch, supplemented by the fixed tiered seating of the surrounding stands. Sightlines from the tiered seats are generally unobstructed, though those on the pitch will find their view dependent on the stage elevation and crowd density. Acoustically, the hall's large, open-air structure, combined with its prevalence of hard surfaces like concrete and steel, creates a resonant environment. Effective sound reinforcement for concerts relies heavily on professional PA systems and skilled sound engineering to manage the inherent reverberation and ensure clarity across the expansive space.

The Live Experience & Current Schedule

Ingress into the Raiffeisen Arena is managed through multiple clearly signposted entrances positioned around the venue's perimeter. Once inside, patrons will find extensive concourse areas featuring numerous concession stands and bars, designed to accommodate large crowds. For concerts, the atmosphere can vary significantly depending on the genre and artist, ranging from a dense, energetic standing pit experience on the main pitch to a more relaxed, seated vantage point from the stadium's tiered stands. With 2 live performances scheduled, upcoming entry prices start from £139.33. The next confirmed event on the calendar is Austria vs Israel - Nations League 2026-27 on 24th September 2026.
