Stadion Brügglifeld
The stadium opened on 12 October 1924 with a friendly match against local side FC Zürich. A new main stand was added in 1982 and a smaller grandstand was completed in the 1990s, along with a complete renovation of the standing areas. The stadium is in the Suhr municipality.
In 2008, proposals were put forward for a new urban development to include a new home for FC Aarau. The proposal included that Mittelland Arena, in the heart of Central Park in Aarau, could be used to provide a capacity of over 12,500 seats. On 25 September 2005, the proposal for the new development, including the football stadium and a shopping centre, were rejected by the people of Aarau in a referendum. FC Aarau Ltd and the city council are currently working on a new solution for the club, as the current stadium is considered to be not good enough for top-flight football. The Swiss Football Association are unhappy at its use in the top flight.
