Just at this stadium the Ice Hockey World Championship ought to take place in year 2011. Building works should start on May 01 originally, however the New City building office issued the building permission this week and so the reconstruction can start-up earlier. „For me it is something like symbolism, because tomorrow the championship in Switzerland is going to launch,“ told the major Andrej Ďurkovský, who at the same time confirmed that the reconstruction would not touch the Tehelné pole swimming pool under no circumstances.

It will be necessary to demolish 80% of the building according to A. Bezák, the director of the supplier company Ingsteel.
