According to Keskisuomalainen, the arena rush is estimated to pay millions to Laukaa municipality.

Happy Arena, the home field of Happe, who plays in the floorball league, has fetched himself to bankrupt three months after the opening ceremony.
Hirviaoreena Oy filed for bankruptcy to the Central Finland District Court on Friday.
The opening of the Arena in Laukaa was celebrated on November 2. The opening of Saturday culminated in the floorball league between Happe and Classic.
Bankruptcy did not come as a surprise, as Hirvia, announced financial difficulties at the end of January. Already at that time, the company had lost its equity, which it reported to the National Board of Patents and Registration.
In January, Hirviraena reportedly announced that “the company’s funding is not enough to operate the hall”.
– The financial equation already seemed challenging based on pre -estimates, and now that it has started even impossible. With the current contract model and cost structure, Hirviaoreena Oy cannot serve as a hall operator, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Limited Liability Company Mikko Seppälä said in January.
Hirviarana also includes an overpressure hall with a full -size football field.

– From the beginning, we have known that the operation of the halls, especially during the start -up phase, is not an easy equation and a conversation with Hirviareena Oy has been open. The situation will not come as a surprise, but it is still a pity that the wall will come up soon after the start, the mayor of Laukaa Linda Leinonen said in January.
Chairman Seppälä said To the generalthat the company’s finances would not have been saved by the fact that the three floorball field reservation calendar in the Arena’s three floorball fields would be full.
“It wouldn’t have turned this overall equation rosy, but it would have made it easier for the early stages,” Seppälä told Yle.
Seppälä told Yle that there was enough use for the bubble hall, but the floorball field booking calendar has been very empty.
Central Finn According to the Arena’s main tenant Laukaa municipality, the aim of the Areena is to move with as few disruptions to the municipality. According to the magazine, “estimates of the fifteen years following the invoice for the municipality will move between EUR 10-20 million”.
– Nothing is risk -free, but the risk for the municipality is low. We have calculated that the utilization rate at which the operator makes the operation to run properly is realistic. This is a lottery win for the municipality, as private construction, more efficient, allows for implementation, said the second main owner of the Hirviarena property Jaakko Kurikka In 2020 for Central Finland.
