Lido
| Information and visiting experience by Daniel Geering (dangeery@bluewin.ch) Translation by Bernt Poelling-Vocke (Bernty@gmx.com) |
The SC Rapperswil-Jona has found it´s home at the "Lido", a new and modern arena with a capacity of roughly 6.000 divided into 2.500 seats and 3.500 standing-room spaces.
The team whose biggest success was the rise to the NLA in 1994 was founded in 1945. At the moment the transformtation to a corporation is under way in order to give the club modern structures.
Especially games against Zuerich, Kloten and Lugano are definetly worth the price of admission. Tickets aren´t tough to find for normal games due to the relatively low turnout at games in Rapperswil.
Rapperswil is also known for it´s very tight security at the arena´s doors. Each fan basically has to strip to his underpants and you can expect long waiting-lines at times at the main-entrance.
Fans of the team will also never forget the few but glorious days in the fall of 1995
when Doug Gilmour, an NHL-superstar, played for the team for a short period of time. The
same can be said about the aquisition of Paul Icebeart for the 1999/2000
campaign.
