It's a long time that the stadiums are no longer sports arenas, but only accessories (bulky and expensive, of course) shopping centers. Stage is no longer profitable. And even for events like Eurofoot, managers of these pumps in money, but not repressed aspirants, announce that they will be happy not to lose too much money. Football is not a profitable activity in itself it is profitable, that is all that organizes around. We need 14,000 fans per game the team return to normal stage in Switzerland, about as much to recoup the Geneva Stadium. The Stade de Suisse in Berne, which cost 350 million, includes retail shops, schools, conference rooms, a solar power plant. Ac accessory and a football field. The Basle stadium has cost 220 million francs, the Zurich stadium 130 million, the Geneva stadium stages millions.Les 240 Swiss hosting matches of the Euro weigh together 930 million investment for their construction. Leased to the UEFA Euro, they had to be adapted at the expense of public authorities. The bill amounted to ten million in Zurich, Geneva and fifteen.
For Jelmoli, the construction of the stadium Praille was a way to swallow than its mall. But the Zurich group was willing to sell this stage now, with all the real estate group (one hundred buildings in Switzerland), for 3 and a half billion. Jelmoli even thought to have found buyers: an Israeli group. And July 31, Jelmoli Holding announced the sale. For two months later, announce that the transaction was compromised, purchasers challenging the agreed amount (Jelmoli would have 300 million requested for the sole center of Praille, who did that in steel string 140) ...
The good old football club Urania Geneva Geneva Sport (UGS) is living the most beautiful stadium in the Republic, the Frontenex (although that would also need to receive a few crumbs of what was given to the turd of Praille). UGS is also a tenant, by his circle, the City of Geneva for his bistro located in the old town hall Eaux-Vives. Now the City of Geneva wants to recover the premises to enlarge the Office of Civil Status, actually very close to the ground floor of the Old Town Hall. City and therefore plans to terminate the lease of the circle UGS, whose president, Alain Morisod brave, wrote to the heads of political groups in the City Council asking for their support and tell them that at least considering a petition or an initiative for the bistro UGS does not suffer the fate that threatened (imperfect is optimistic) and the Alhambar which has already hit the lens, radar and relay the steak-which was of also sparked protests from the City.
However, if the City is seeking for its office premises Civil Status, it may find the Praille: y 'is a great machine generally unused, or empty to 90%, and whose primary function is the money pump. But
suction pump only.
In Lausanne, a citizens' committee has initiated and is leading an initiative communal people attacking the plan "Metamorphosis" from the municipality for which a credit of $ 6.3 million study was approved by the council. which implies (at least in one of its three variants) the demolition of the old stadium and the Pontaise development on the site of an "eco-district", the athletics stadium redevelopment Vidy, the concreting of a portion of the expansion area of Vidy and building a new stadium (12 to 15,000 seats), an Olympic pool and a bowling alley in Bourdonnette and a multipurpose room at the sports-movie Blécherette. For the initiators, the athletics stadium and football Pontaise are a "key element of the identity of the northern city" and should stay there (not necessarily the Pontaise, although it would be stupid to demolish the stadium , and Geneva, so it can be renovated) but in any case in the north of the City. The initiators also plead for mixed assignments "each district must have housing, employment, public facilities ...". The right Lausanne, worried, asked that the municipality organizes itself spontaneously and (almost) a referendum on the project "Metamorphosis", a story to avoid victory of the initiators, and especially to vote the right people as quickly (and best) possible. Lausanne The Greens voted against the initiative, accusing him of being "binding" (which is usually the case initiatives made), not to respect the "functioning of our institutions" (the right way, though initiattive part of the "functioning of our institutions") and "short" approach "participatory" lancvée by the authorities (what's more "participatory", however, that a popular initiative ?)...
Biel, December 9, 1970 yen and% of citizens who have agreed to vote (abstention rate: 73%) agreed to draft a new football stadium and that of a NOUELLE rink. Funding for this sports complex is supposed to be fully insured by a partnership with the private sector.
In Valais, and in January, the seminar fundamentalist Catholic Ecône filed an appeal with the government against changing the allocation of areas essential to the project de stade et de centre commercial (plus éventuellement un téléphérique et une patinoire) présenté par le patron du FC Sion, le promoteur Christian Constantin, qui contrôle déjà 140'000 m2 de terrain (il en est propriétaire ou dispose d'un droit de préemption) Les écônards invoquent les "nuisances", notamment sonores, qu'ils subiraient si le stade se construisait. Y'a pourtant qu'à faire chanter les supporters en grégorien.
A Zurich, le vieux stade du Hardturm a été occupé pendant trois jours, une semaine après la fin de l'Euroboxon, par des militants de la gauche alternative, qui y ont organisé une "Fan zone alternative" pour protester against "the domination of UEFA on public space" and "commercialization of football." Thousands of people attended the festival held in the stadium, unused for a year.
is an idea that is good. And importable in Geneva, where we also have a stage usually unused ...
Supporters Swiss football teams denounce prohibitive tariffs charged in the stadiums of the country, especially for fans of the teams received (it's cheaper for those teams domiciled). The difference between the fare for the support of the local team and the visiting team is from 30% to Zurich to 50% in Berne. In the new stadium Letzigrund, the place is the cheapest at 35 francs: it is 50% more than in Milan or Munich. In Neuchâtel and Bern, visitors pay 10 francs more than the hosts, in Basel, 11 francs more ...
France wants to undertake a comprehensive program to build new stadiums in preparation for Euro 2016-that it wants to be awarded. The French government has set up a commission "Great stadium 2016", chaired by former Minister Philippe Seguin. France wants to run for the Euro 2016, and must do so in 2010, the designation of the host country is faisant en 2011. Il se pourrait que l'Eurofoot fasse s'affronter 24 équipes (au lieu de 16 actuellement). Mais pour l'Euro 2012 déjà, l'UEFA impose (car c'est l'UEFA qui impose, pas les collectiités publiques qui décident...) au pays organisateur huit sades d'au moins 30'000 places, dont deux d'au moins 50'000 places. Or la France ne possède que cinq stades de plus de 40'000 places. Mais treize stades vont être rénovés ou construits dans les prochaines années, à Grenoble, Lille, Valenciennes, Lens, Le Mans, Le Havre, Nice, Lyon et Strasbourg.
A Lyon, le futur "grand staded" d'une capacité de 62'000 places pourraît être livré fin 2001.
A Strasbourg, Eurostadium a (necessarily) is projected.
In Lille, it's a 50,000 seater stadium, funded by the public of the urban community (to the tune of at least 490 million euros), which is projected. The Metropolitan Council would provide more, free field. Two other stadium projects hanging over northern France, Valenciennes and Lens, which would make chtis the happy inhabitants of the region with the highest concentration of stadium paid for by public funds, with three stages of at least 30 '000 places 30 km apart.
