Anguish or joy later tonight?

Geneva is ready for a night of celebration or commiseration – and the city is changing the rules for one night to make sure we’re able party late into the night – or drown our sorrows.

Geneva Servette Hockey is facing Biel tonight in the last game to determine who comes away Swiss Champions. 

If Servette win, it’ll be the first time the club has ever taken the title. 

The city is allowing – for one night only – bars to show the game live on TV on their terraces and their outside areas can stay open until 2am, instead of the normal midnight. 

The city does warn bars and restaurants that they do have to still be aware of potential noise pollution.
