WT Energiesysteme Arena is a large multi-purpose arena in Riesa, designed so that its interior layout can be adapted for sporting competitions, concerts, shows, exhibitions and other major events. The main hall covers more than 8,600 square metres and, depending on the configuration, can accommodate up to approximately 9,000 spectators in seated layouts or around 10,000 visitors in standing configurations. Movable seating sections and the extensive floor area allow organisers to create substantially different stage and audience arrangements.
Inside, the emphasis is on clear sightlines and flexibility for different types of events. A large stage area, seating that can be configured according to the production and on-site catering facilities allow the same venue to function both as a sports arena and as a setting for major concerts and entertainment productions. The atmosphere and seating arrangement can therefore vary considerably depending on the particular event.
The arena is located at Am Sportzentrum 5, 01589 Riesa, Germany. Five parking areas with a total of approximately 3,000 spaces are situated directly in front of and beside the venue, leaving only a short walk from the parking areas to the entrances.
