Swissporarena is a new multi-use stadium in Lucerne, Switzerland, completed in 2011. It's used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches of FC Lucerne of the Swiss Super League. The stadium has a capacity of 16,800 spectators. It replaced the demolished Stadion Allmend.

The stadium was due to open earlier in the year but several problems during construction changed the plans. [1] In February 2011 the club announced the new season ticket prices for their return home. [2]

The stadium held its first match, a 0-0 against FC Thun on 31 July 2011.[3]

Since November 2012, the stadium and surrounding area has been served by the underground Lucerne Allmend/Messe railway station.
