And where were all those thousands of people that allegedly support Asiago? Apparently not in the stands, nor in front of pay-per-view streams.
Ice hockey it isn't like football or volleyball or basketball or tennis in italy.
Need visibility and a lot of work.
Ice hockey is becoming more and more exciting every year
Eine derart riesige (fast 2 Millionen Einwohner) und wichtige europäische Metropole in der Liga zu haben, kann man eigentlich nur positiv bewerten. Asiago hatte ca. 6000 Einwohner.
Mit dem wirtschaftlichen Hintergrund und lediglich Fehervar als Konkurrenzklub für die Einheimischen wird das über einige Saisonen hoffentlich zu einer genau so starken Konstante wachsen wie Fehervar!
No, not exactly.
Asiago yes 6000 people
But Asiago is in the "Altopiano dei 7 comuni" with 20.000 people, and 30 minutes you are in plains (Po Valley), Asiago is in "Province of Vicenza" with 800.000 people.
Asiago thanks to tourism, have people/fans from other regions in italy.
Maybe austrian clubs prefer to do a lot of km to Budapest.
Asiago it is no less than Feldkirch and Brunico, yes probably the staiudm (Brunico), look the old stadium.
We'll see in the future, next years or years
maybe this year the fans will have fun
In my opinion Asiago is a nice addition to the league, of course it is shitty that they didn't renovate their stadium in the time frame they received but I feel like this is the norm in Italy when you have bigger construction works. I think at least for us in Pustertal, even if we don't like them a lot, it is better to have them in the league rather than not.
By the way I really appreciate the posts by Omo here who gives good information in contrary to Odegar who only knows how to insult other people when they say something against Asiago.
thanks you too! Grazie!
Kann man nicht erfinden..
The company is working hard. The audience is growing, little by little every year there are improvements in the stadium and in the organization. Latest news is the agreement between the three Italian teams for the broadcast of 8 matches for each Italian team on the "DAZN" streaming channel. Greater visibility for everyone
1. Fehervar
2. Salisburgo
3. Klagenfurt
4. Villach
5. Bolzano
6. Vienna
7. Asiago
8. Linz
9. Graz
10. Ljubljana
11. Val Pusteria
12. Vorarlberg
13. Innsbruck
Latest news (recent press conference mayor, president, designers):
-Work on the roof postponed to April 2025, because the company in charge was awarded in July, requiring 5 months without interruption. Not possible now from July because first match in Asiago on 18 October.
-End of August/early September works, replacement and upgrading of air conditioning, heating refrigeration, and dehumidification of the stands, the ice rink, the entire stadium, the main cause of the deterioration of the roof.
- restyling/cleaning/renewal of the internal environments, stands, flooring, new seats
- removal of aesthetically ugly parts
- a mobile grandstand (stadium entrance) is planned for a further 300-400 seats (perhaps from September/October)
- After next season we will also think about 6 new changing rooms (west side/park side), 1 gym (also public) and 1 restaurant
- From April 2025, after the under-18 world championships, roofing work will begin, removal of photovoltaic panels, and subsequent installation and expansion of the panels, removal of wooden covers with sheet metal panels. The wooden parts under the roof, wooden beams, etc., some replaced because they were damaged, others completely cleaned. Unfortunately some wooden parts cannot be touched.
Without these interventions, the stadium would have been closed.
Over 40 years without maintenance.
The dream, the idea still remains a new stadium, in another area, but in the meantime the current stadium needs to be fixed up to be used. The interventions that will be carried out may eventually be transferred to a new stadium.
The team currently trains in the ice rink in Roana, a nearby town.
Now the stadium is now closed, ice melted, for various types of checks
Due to the current closure of the stadium, the friendlies and tournaments will all be played away. The closure of the stadium in this period brings economic damage, a summer tourist destination, sold out again this summer, all the altopiano of Asiago. Friendly matches in their own stadium would bring a lot of visibility and many spectators.
Various important initiatives are planned for the visibility of the teams and the entire environment, also collaboration with national TV. More news soon
Weil Asiago niemanden abgehen würde...
any team says it doesn't need the other
they simply applied, and they were accepted
This news in March about Asiago stadium:
The stadium deserves a separate chapter, whose renovation works are scheduled for the building, starting in June, and include the reconstruction and cleaning of part of the wooden roof, the replacement of the engines for creating ice and therefore the heating of the stands, new seats and the construction of a new turbine. “Certainly the stadium represents an important welcoming place not only for the citizens of the plateau, but also for tourists. Our requirement would be to have the stadium available again by 20 September, for the start of the championship, with a prospect of reopening to the public from early October at the latest - explains president Mantovani - If this is not possible, the closest arenas which we could make use of would be Bolzano or Cortina".
Für mich absolut unverständlich, das überhaupt jemand für Asiago abstimmt
Why?
