Antares is a multipurpose arena distinguished by its curved, futuristic architecture, often compared to a spacecraft. Its modular main hall can be adapted for sporting fixtures, concerts, family shows and large-scale stage productions. The basketball configuration accommodates approximately 6,000 spectators, while the overall capacity varies according to the stage and floor layout.
Steeply tiered seating provides clear views of the court or stage, and the flexible interior helps create an engaging atmosphere for both sporting and live entertainment events. Visitors can use refreshment areas offering drinks and light food, while accessible seating and facilities are available for guests with reduced mobility.
The arena is located at Av. Antarès, Le Mans, France, in the southern part of the city near its well-known motorsport complex. A large public car park is positioned beside the venue, with designated accessible spaces close to the entrances. The Antarès tram terminus is also immediately next to the complex, leaving only a short walk to the arena doors. Further information about travelling around the city can be found below.
