Sports

From 1902 until 2005 the sports club Grazer AK had its traditional home ground in the Casino Stadium in Geidorf. However, in 2005 the football section of the club relocated to the new training centre in the city district of XII. Andritz north of Geidorf so that the football stadium was eventually demolished and replaced by housing estates. In contrast, the tennis section of the club is still using the historical grounds in Körösistraße in the west of the district.
