Zimní stadion Tábor

The arena changed shape in the mid-2000s when the roof was repaired and the exterior cladding updated. The artificial surface is maintained to a high standard, and the players never get out of second gear because the tight seating forces every pass to be precise. The capacity is debated: some lists show over five thousand, others offer a lower figure, but the crowd always feels full. A match against Switzerland in the run-up to the 2002 Winter Olympics drew a packed house, and the crowd roared them on to a narrow victory. Work continues on the site. A second outdoor rink has opened for para-hockey, and a new roof will soon carry solar panels.
