The first major event in the arena took place on 26 November 2010, for Lady Gaga’s The Monster Ball Tour, with Semi Precious Weapons as the opening act.[1]
Various sports events, including the 2013 Men's European Volleyball Championship,[2] 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, have been held at the arena.
Ergo Hestia acquired naming rights for the arena upon its completion in 2010,[5] with the agreement most recently extended for an additional five years in 2025.[6]
A six-lane banked 200-meter oval is installed on the arena floor for athletics.[7]
