Minsk-Arena Location Minsk Opened 2010 Construction cost $350 million USD Capacity 15,086 Tenants HC Dinamo Minsk Minsk-Arena (Belarusian: Мінск-Арэна) is a multi-use indoor arena in Minsk, Belarus.
The Minsk-Arena Complex is unique in its complexity and functionality not only in Belarus but also in Europe. It includes a multi-sports and entertainment arena for 15,000 spectators (making it the largest arena in use by a Kontinental Hockey League team), a skating stadium for up to 3,000 spectators and a velodrome at 2,000 spectators.
One of the primarily uses of the facility is ice hockey, as the building is the home rink of HC Dinamo Minsk of the Kontinental Hockey League. The arena's official opening was held on 30 January 2010 when the 2nd Kontinental Hockey League All-Star Game was held there. The first match in the facility, however, had already been played by Dinamo Minsk on January 14, 2010 against Metallurg Magnitogorsk. Two more KHL regular season games were scheduled in January before the official opening: against Avtomobilist on January 16 and against Traktor on January 18.[1]
Maybe the Bandy World Championships 2012 will be held here.[2] It is listed as one of two main venues for the 2014 IIHF World Championship.[3] It was also the venue for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2010, which took place on 20 November 2010.[4]
Minsk-Arena also arranged concerts and other mass performances.
