Ferry-Dusika-Hallenstadion

Ferry-Dusika-Hallenstadion, Indoor velodrome in Leopoldstadt, Vienna, Austria.

Ferry-Dusika-Hallenstadion is an indoor sports hall in the Leopoldstadt district of Vienna, built around a 250 m (820 ft) wooden cycling track used for track cycling events. A 200 m (656 ft) running track inside the hall allows it to host athletics competitions as well.

The Ferry-Dusika-Hallenstadion was built between 1968 and 1976 on the site of an open-air velodrome opened on 11 July 1931. It was inaugurated on 20 April 1977 by Vienna's mayor Leopold Gratz during an international cycling meeting attended by more than 9,000 spectators. The hall was demolished from January 2022, and the Sport Arena Wien, without a velodrome, was built in its place until September 2025.

The hall was named after Ferry Dusika, the Austrian cyclist it honours; in 2021 a report on Dusika's Nazi past led Vienna to examine renaming it after a female cycling pioneer such as Mizzi Wokrina, Cenci Flendrofsky or Elise Steininger, though the matter was shelved. The building has since been demolished.

The hall was demolished from January 2022, so there is no venue to visit at the site; the replacement Sport Arena Wien, built from summer 2022, has no velodrome. The location beside the Stadion stop on the U2 line remains the reference point for the area near the Prater and the Ernst-Happel-Stadion.

The hall was demolished from January 2022, so neither track survives; its seats were sold off for 10 euros each in 2021. During the 44 years it operated, 15 indoor world records or world bests were set there, along with 149 Austrian indoor records. The Austrian indoor championships took place in the hall 29 times.
