Stade de Genève, Modern football stadium in Lancy, Switzerland
Stade de Genève is a football stadium in Lancy with 30,084 covered seats in two tiers, the lower maroon and the upper dark grey. A gently curved roof canopy rests on a white steel truss, with floodlights along its inner edge. The main stand has five levels, and the VIP concourse serves 1,228 business seats and 27 private boxes.
The stadium was built between 2001 and 2003 as a modern home for Servette FC. It replaced an older facility and was equipped with contemporary infrastructure to support national and international football matches.
The stadium is home to Servette FC, which took over its operation on 11 March 2011. The ground has also hosted concerts by Johnny Hallyday, The Police, Céline Dion and Mylène Farmer, and in January 2014 an outdoor National League A ice hockey game between Genève-Servette HC and Lausanne HC drew 29,400 spectators.
The stadium sits near the Etoile park-and-ride transportation hub and connects easily to central Geneva by public transport. Visitors can reach the city center using tram lines 12 and 15 as well as bus line 4.
In January 2014, the stadium was briefly transformed into an ice hockey arena and hosted nearly 30,000 spectators for a top-league game. This conversion shows the flexibility and adaptability of the modern facility for different sports.
