About Žalgiris Arena
Kaunas, Lithuania, is home to Žalgiris Arena, a multipurpose indoor arena in the city's New Town. It is the Baltics' largest indoor arena and stands on an island in the Nemunas River. Construction started in September 2008, with the Lithuanian company Vėtrūna as main contractor and Eugenijus Miliūnas as chief architect. The arena opened on August 18, 2011, with a basketball game pitting Lithuania against Spain, and it succeeded the Kaunas Sports Hall as one of the city's major venues.
The building covers 39,684 m² (427,160 sq ft) and has nine corners. Its facade is made of highly transparent glass, and one part of it is a metal wall that has rusted naturally. The seating capacity is up to 15,415 for basketball and 20,000 spectators for concerts. In 2015, it was the first arena anywhere to earn BREEAM In-Use certification for sustainable buildings.
BC Žalgiris, the most titled Lithuanian basketball team, has played its home games there since the opening. The arena hosted the playoffs and finals of EuroBasket 2011, played in September 2011. The 2023 EuroLeague Final Four was held there on May 19–21, 2023, a first for Lithuanian sports history, and Real Madrid won the championship game against Olympiacos 79–78. Lithuania's first science and innovation center, Mokslo sala (Science Island), is next to the arena.
