Swiss Indoors, Basel
The Swiss Indoors Basel is one of the world’s most prestigious indoor tennis tournaments, and NUSSLI has been a part of this international sporting event since 1988. Year after year, a temporary infrastructure is erected at the St. Jakobshalle that seamlessly combines top-level sports, media production, and visitor comfort. NUSSLI provides 2,750 spectator seats, including accessible wheelchair spaces, exclusive hospitality areas, and optimally positioned press and TV platforms. This creates an event environment that meets the high standards of an international ATP tournament.
The best view for fans, media, and guests
At international tennis tournaments, it’s not just the action on the court that defines the experience—the quality of the spectator facilities plays a key role as well. That’s why the Swiss Indoors Basel focused its planning on optimal sightlines, comfort, and functionality.
The modular grandstand systems were seamlessly integrated into the existing arena infrastructure and offer spectators a premium stadium experience right in the heart of the arena. The grandstands were complemented by accessible wheelchair-accessible seating and strategically placed press areas for journalists, photographers, and TV crews. Special attention was also paid to the exclusive hospitality and suite areas with Premium seats. They create a high-quality environment for the tournament’s sponsors, partners, and guests, combining sports with business and networking on an international level.
Live production in accordance with international standards
To ensure that the atmosphere of the Swiss Indoors Basel could be experienced worldwide, NUSSLI constructed several TV platforms for professional live broadcasts. The positioning of the platforms was precisely tailored to the requirements of international broadcast productions. The media infrastructure enables optimal camera angles and supports smooth production workflows throughout the entire tournament. Especially at international sporting events, the precise integration of TV, media, and press areas is a central component of modern event infrastructure.
Experience built up over decades
Our long-standing partnership with the Swiss Indoors Basel demonstrates the importance of experience and well-established processes in international sports event construction.
