St. Galler Kantonalbank Arena, Sports arena in canton St. Gallen, Switzerland
The St. Galler Kantonalbank Arena is a multipurpose venue in eastern Switzerland with seating for around 6,000 people and hosts sports events and entertainment shows. The facility includes parking areas, food services, and is well-connected by public transportation for easy access.
The building opened in 1987 and underwent major renovations in 2005 that updated its infrastructure and expanded its capabilities. A sponsorship change in 2016 brought the current name, reflecting the venue's continued evolution.
The venue serves as the home ground for ice hockey and hosts concerts that draw visitors from across the canton. It functions as a community gathering space where different groups come together for entertainment and shared experiences.
The venue is easily accessible by public transportation, with ample parking available on-site for visitors driving cars. Inside the arena, you will find food options and clear signage to help you navigate the space.
Before 2016, the arena carried a completely different name tied to an international credit card sponsor, reflecting the history of naming rights in Swiss sports venues. This renaming shows how the economic context around sports facilities evolves over time.
