Porsche-Arena, Multi-purpose sports arena in Stuttgart, Germany
The Porsche-Arena is a multi-purpose hall in Stuttgart's NeckarPark, next to the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle on Mercedesstraße; the two share a foyer. Its dark grey upper facade carries red "PORSCHE" lettering and a silver oval with white italic "Arena". The hall measures 135 by 95 metres over four full storeys, with 9,400 square metres of floor space, 6,000 fixed seats and 20 boxes above the stands.
The facility was built in the early 2000s as an expansion of Stuttgart's sports infrastructure and opened to the public in 2006. Its design reflected new standards for hosting multiple sports disciplines in a contemporary setting.
The arena's name comes from Porsche AG, which bought the naming rights for ten million euros over 20 years. Since 2006 it has hosted the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, a WTA Tour event that moved here from Filderstadt. The TVB 1898 Stuttgart handball team has played all its home matches here since the 2021/22 season.
The arena sits on Mercedesstraße in the Neckarpark, directly beside the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle, and the two share a common foyer. The grounds are served by Stuttgart's transport network; a city transport plan is available as a PDF online. Up to 7,500 visitors fit inside depending on the event, with 6,000 fixed seats.
The arena shares a joint foyer with the neighbouring Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle, and both are run by the events company in.Stuttgart. Its name rights were bought by Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG for ten million euros over 20 years, agreed before construction began to help fund the 31 million euro build.
