Tonight was a crisp Friday evening in Vienna and there's no better way to enjoy it than heading up…read moreto Döbling to take in a First Vienna football match at the legendary Hohe Warte Stadium. Let's start with First Vienna or just Vienna as everyone calls it. This is the oldest football club in Austria and one of the oldest on the European continent. They have proudly worn their blue & yellow colors since their founding in 1894. They play in the First League of Austria which is one level down in competitiveness from the top league but it is equally enjoyable as the top league. Even though my main football team is Austria Wien .... because they play in different leagues, I can also root enthusiastically for First Vienna. When I was younger, I lived in Döbling and all around me everyone was a huge Vienna fan. Though the city of Vienna football fandom for the most part is divided between Austria Wien and Rapid fans, Döbling remains loyal to their First Vienna club. And even if the working class Vienna fans don't march in the tremendous numbers that they used to in the 1930's from the nearby Karl-Marx-Hof up to Hohe Warte Stadion, First Vienna still rules the 19th district. And now for Hohe Warte Stadium. It's awesome. When it was built in 1921 it was considered the best football stadium in Europe. The Austrian national team used to play there and once they had 80,000 people for a match against Italy. The stadium is built into a hill with stands on one side and three grass embankments on the other sides. From the hills you can see all over Vienna. And a tip - attached to the stadium is the Vienna Stüberl which is an awesome place to enjoy an Austrian beer and some hearty food before a match. And actually the Stüberl is open everyday - even when there aren't matches... so you can enjoy it throughout the year. Anyway, First Vienna won tonight 3-1. Their fans at Hohe Warte Stadion loved it and so did I.
