Keine Sorgen Arena - SV Ried Stadium Guide

The Keine Sorgen Arena first opened in 2003 when it replaced SV Ried’s former home of Rieder Stadium with the old ground relegated for usage by the reserve and youth teams as well as for athletic events due to the existence of the problematic running track around the perimeter of the pitch. With better views of the footballing action and a much improved capacity compared to the 1,100 seats at former stadion, fans of the club were very positive about the team’s move to the new facilities.

As all four stands are currently covered by roofing, and all footballing facilities are up to the standard of the most European stadiums, changes to the ground since opening have been very limited and largely unnoticeable.

The expansion of the VIP area in 2013 to accommodate over 500 seats for management, sponsors, more affluent fans and journalists is probably the most significant change to the arena with the addition of fibre optic broadband not used by the regular paying supporters.

Similarly, the installation of under-soil heating in the Summer of 2013 didn’t represent a cosmetic change to the facilities unless you pedantically wanted to argue that the pitch looks better in the winter months as a result of the equipment. With one of the smallest budgets in the league, fans shouldn’t expect any major renovations in the near future unless the club were to qualify for a major European competition.

Lastly, The Keine-Sorgen Arena was formerly known as both the HomeLife-Arena and the Fill Metallbau Stadion when it first opened, with SV Ried always opting to sell the naming rights of the stadion to sponsors in order to maximise revenue. Currently the club is sponsored by the Upper Austrian Insurance company whose catchphrase of “No Worries” or Keine Sorgen is used for the name of the stadium.

Car Parks

There is a moderate amount of parking available on site at the ground although the exact matchday parking arrangements remains unclear.

Ried im Innkreis railway station is situated 1.9 km or so south of Keine Sorgen Arena, with the next station along “Ried im Innkreis Bad” only 500 metres away.

The two closest major airports to the town of Ried Im Innkreis are Linz Aiport (64 km) and Salzburg Airport W.A. Mozart (74 km).

Hotel Ried next to the river is less than five minutes away, three stars and reasonably priced which makes it hard to beat in a small town with a limited range of accommodation options.
