Vorwärts Stadium is a football stadium in Steyr with a natural grass surface and no running track, bringing spectators very close to the field. The venue holds approximately 6,000 seats and provides standard facilities for both players and visitors.
A first stadium opened on Volksstraße in 1920. The current ground, with covered stands to the south and west and two open stands, was inaugurated on 20 September 1986. It was renovated in 2007, and in July 2018 an irrigation system was installed. The stadium took the name LIWEST Arena for the 2022/23 season, then reverted to Vorwärts-Stadion in March 2026 after a crowdfunding campaign.
