FC Luzern supporters enjoyed their time in the stadium, even naming it as the 5th best thing about supporting the club[1] and so have made a scarf as a tribute to their time there.[2]

There has been talk of Grasshopper Club Zürich moving into the Gersag stadium as they seek a home for the 2011-12 season. GC current pay 2.7 million CHF and would find the 570,000CHF rent that FCL currently pay to be a more attractive price.[3]
