Iserlohn Roosters Start the Next Intensive Phase of the Season on Thursday in Frankfurt / Discussions about the Future of the Balver-Zinn-Arena at the Seilersee

Iserlohn Roosters Launch into the Next Season

The Iserlohn Roosters will start the next intensive phase of the season on Thursday in Frankfurt. The Sauerlanders will then compete in eight games within 17 days. For the Roosters, it is the last endurance test before the start of the new DEL season on September 15th. "The next few weeks will be crucial for us," says Roosters coach Greg Poss. "We have to use the games to find our shape and rhythm for the season."

Balver-Zinn-Arena: A Venue with an Uncertain Future

The Balver-Zinn-Arena at the Seilersee has been the home of the Iserlohn Roosters for over 20 years. However, the future of the venue is uncertain. The city of Iserlohn is planning to build a new multifunctional arena. However, the financing of the project is still unclear. The Roosters would have to move out of the Balver-Zinn-Arena during the construction phase.

Discussions About the Arena's Future

There have been discussions about the future of the Balver-Zinn-Arena for several years. In 2019, the city of Iserlohn commissioned a study on the future of the venue. The study came to the conclusion that the Balver-Zinn-Arena is no longer up to date and that a new arena is needed. However, the city has not yet made a decision on whether or not to build a new arena.

Uncertain Future for the Roosters

The uncertain future of the Balver-Zinn-Arena also affects the Iserlohn Roosters. The club would have to move out of the arena during the construction phase of a new arena. This would mean that the Roosters would have to find a new home for several years. The club has not yet made any plans for this.
