Pancho Arena

Pancho Arena is a sports stadium in Felcsút featuring contemporary architecture that combines wooden beams, glass panels, and natural stone on its exterior. The building merges these materials with functional design to create spaces for both spectators and athletes.

The venue was completed in 2014 based on initial sketches by architect Imre Makovecz, with Tamás Dobrosi developing the final designs following Makovecz's principles. This collaboration shows how architectural ideas were carried forward in contemporary Hungarian design.

The venue brings together modern sports facilities with Hungarian building traditions through its curved rooflines and natural materials, creating a connection between daily events and regional craftsmanship.

The site accommodates roughly 3,865 spectators with designated areas for media coverage and athlete facilities accessible through multiple entrances. The layout enables smooth crowd movement and easy orientation during sporting events.

Natural light flows through the stadium's glass panels and wooden framework, creating shifting patterns across interior spaces as the day progresses. This interplay of light and shadow appears notably different depending on the time of day.
