The Bears were able to present a net profit of CHF 75,589.50 for the 2014-15 season. In addition, the club plans to open four new restaurants in the upcoming twelve months to financially strengthen their core business on the ice. "The sport will always remain at the center," Walter Born, President of the Board of Directors, said.

For the new season, the capacity of the PostFinance-Arena will be lower than last year. For 300 more seating places, 400 spots in the standing places had to be sacrificed. The new capacity is now 17,031 of which 13,000 are already sold to season ticket holders.
