Overview

The stadium and arena of the Tissot Arena serve as replacements of the Gurzelen football stadium and the Biel ice hockey arena. The football stadium part of the Tissot Arena is in the south-west side of the building complex and the ice rinks in the north-east. The watch manufacturer Tissot, a member of The Swatch Group that has a head office in Biel/Bienne, obtained naming rights of the arena for at least ten years.[2]

The football stadium has a capacity of 5,200 and it is extendable to 10,000 if needed. The ice hockey arena accommodates 6,521 spectators. Part of the electricity for the arena complex is produced by the 8,100 solar panels installed on the roofs of the Arena.[3]

[de] Tissot Arena

Tissot Arena ist der Name einer Eisstadions mit Nebenfeld, eines Fussballstadions sowie einer Curlinghalle und vier Aussensportfeldern in der Schweizer Stadt Biel. Am 20. Dezember 2012 wurde der erste Spatenstich durchgeführt und Ende Juli 2015 übergab das Bauunternehmen die Anlage. Die Stadien dienen als Ersatz für das 1973 errichtete Bieler Eisstadion und das über hundertjährige Fussballstadion Gurzelen. Die Hauptnutzer des Sportkomplexes sind der Fussballverein FC Biel-Bienne und der Eishockeyverein EHC Biel. Bis zum Februar 2015 trug der multifunktionale Sportkomplex den Namen Stades de Bienne. Der Schweizer Uhrenhersteller Tissot, zur Swatch Group gehörig, einigte sich mit der Stadt Biel und den Sportclubs auf einen Vertrag über zehn Jahre mit Option auf Verlängerung und erwarb die Namensrechte.[1]
