Donauhalle, indoor ice hockey arena in Linz, Upper Austria, Austria
The Donauhalle, now the Linz AG Eisarena, is an ice rink in Linz built in 1986 with a 60 × 30 m ice sheet. Since 2014 it holds 4,863 spectators, about 1,000 of them seated, and it is the home ground of EHC Black Wings Linz. Next to it stand the smaller Donauparkhalle and an open-air ice surface.
The building opened in 1986 and has been part of Linz's sports scene ever since. In 2008, it received the name Keine Sorgen EisArena through a sponsorship deal with an Austrian insurance company.
The arena's name has changed with sponsors: it was the Donauhalle, then the Keine Sorgen EisArena from 2008, and today it is the LINZ AG Eisarena. Besides Black Wings matches, it hosts the Ice Cats Linz women's team, hobby clubs, figure skating and Eisstockschießen, and the neighbouring Donauparkhalle holds regular ice discos.
The arena stands in the Donaupark by the Danube; the nearest Linz Linien stops are "Parkbad" and "Schlachthof". A car park adjoins the hall, though the spaces behind it are often taken. Next to the main LinzAG Eisarena are the smaller Donauparkhalle and an open-air ice sheet used for public skating, plus a separate ice-stock shooting area.
The arena's ice surface measures 60 by 30 metres. Besides the Black Wings, the Steel Wings Linz, the women's club Ice Cats Linz and hobby teams train here, and the hall also hosts ice skating and Eisstockschießen.
