About Uber Arena
Uber Arena opened on September 10, 2008, after nearly 2 years of construction and a project cost of 165 million euros. The building measures 160 metres long, 130 metres wide, and 35 metres high, with a total area of 60,000 square metres.2
Its technical design allows it to switch from a concert venue to a hockey rink or basketball court within a few hours.2 That flexibility has helped the arena consistently host a wide range of major events, from international basketball and handball championships to the MTV Europe Music Awards.1,2
