BCF Arena

BCF Arena, Indoor ice rink in Fribourg, Switzerland.

The BCF Arena is a covered ice rink on the Saint-Léonard plateau in Fribourg, built to the design of architect Serge Charrière and home to HC Fribourg-Gottéron. After its 2018–2020 transformation it holds 8,934 places: 6,394 seats and 2,540 standing places, plus 108 press seats, 23 boxes with 336 box seats and 76 Dine&View places. Its roof carries 3,770 m² of solar panels supplying the four buildings on the site.

The Saint-Léonard rink was built by the city to plans by architect Serge Charrière, first used for training on 9 August 1982 and inaugurated on 25 September 1982 with a match against Davos. It was renamed BCF-Arena in 2010 after the Banque Cantonale de Fribourg, the first naming deal for a rink in French-speaking Switzerland. It was rebuilt between September 2018 and September 2020, reopening on 1 October 2020 against the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers.

The venue hosts the home games of HC Fribourg-Gottéron, bringing thousands of local fans together throughout the hockey season to support their team.

The arena sits on the Saint-Léonard plateau outside the old lower town, so allow time to reach it from the city centre. Inside, 23 boxes and 76 Dine&View seats sit alongside a sports café and five restaurants with 1,181 seats; snacks at the buvettes can be ordered and collected through the Gotteron app.

The roof of the arena is covered with 3,770 m² of solar panels, and the energy they produce is used by the four buildings on the site. The arena was the first ice rink in French-speaking Switzerland to carry a sponsor's name, becoming BCF-Arena in 2010.
