Thermoplan Arena
stadium in Lucerne
Thermoplan Arena, formerly known as Swissporarena, is a multi-use stadium in Lucerne, Switzerland, completed in 2011. It is used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches of FC Luzern of the Swiss Super League. The stadium has a capacity of 16,800 spectators, including an away fans' section fitted with 390 rail seats for safe standing. It replaced the demolished Stadion Allmend.
The stadium was due to open earlier in the year, but several problems during construction changed the plans. In February 2011, the club announced the new season ticket prices for their return home.
The stadium held its first match, a 0–0 draw against FC Thun on 31 July 2011.
Since November 2012, the stadium and surrounding area have been served by the underground Lucerne Allmend/Messe railway station.

Why this record matters
The phrase “stadium in Lucerne” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q692534. Authority coordinates are 47.033, 8.305. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2012 and 2025.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
