Traveler reviews

★★★★★Edited 2 years agoWe went there for Timmy Trumpet 🎺 concert last night. It's big enough for that kind of events. However, the number of toilets should be increased in my opinion. I had to wait in a very long queue. They were offering wardrobe service for 2€ per piece, which was good. On the other hand, the variety of drinks were very limited and the prices were extremely high; like 7,5€ for spritzer, plus 5,5 for the glass. It could be amazing if they think about lowering down the beverage fees and improve the variety of them for the next events.

★★★★★3 years agoI visited this place during a public holiday where no events were hosted but just to look around the place.. it was usually opened to let anyone indoors (not sure if that's only on that day) but I have seen people working in office premises. Pretty large stadium 🏟️🏟️🏟️ and it seems one of the old Olympics was held here. Place outside this stadium is pretty beautiful with tulips flowers 🌹🌺 on the roadside during summer or spring.. usually can be visited by bus from the Innsbruck main station 🚉 Nice place indeed.
