Flens-Arena, Sports arena in Flensburg, Germany
The Flens-Arena is a multipurpose hall on the Sandberg campus of Flensburg's university and university of applied sciences, about two kilometres from the city centre. Its capacity is 6,300 spectators, and at opening it had the largest standing terrace in the Handball-Bundesliga with over 1,500 places. The complex also houses a fitness studio and rooms used to train sports teaching students.
