Ergo Arena, formerly known as Hala Gdańsk-Sopot, is a multi-purpose indoor arena on the border of Gdańsk and Sopot, Poland, opened in 2010. The boundary between the two cities runs through the middle of the venue. The arena has a capacity of 11,409 people for sports events and up to 15,000 (with standing places) for concerts, making it one of the largest indoor arenas in the country.

History

The first major event in the arena was a concert of Lady Gaga’s The Monster Ball Tour on 26 November 2010, with Semi Precious Weapons as the opening act.[1]

The venue has hosted various sports events, including the 2013 Men's European Volleyball Championship,[2] the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships[3] and the 2014 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship,[4] as well as a part of the 2016 European Men's Handball Championship.

Ergo Hestia acquired naming rights for the venue upon its completion in 2010,[5] with the agreement later extended until 2030.[6]

A six-lane banked 200-meter oval is installed on the arena floor for athletics.[7]
