ČEZ Aréna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The CEZ Arena is an indoor arena in Ostrava, Czech Republic. It opened in 1986 and underwent a €23.3 million reconstruction in 2003-2004.
It is the home of ice hockey club HC Vitkovice, and one of the two arenas used for the 2004 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships (the other being the Sazka Arena in Prague). In addition it hosted matches for the 2005 UEFA Futsal Championship.
The capacity of the arena is 9,000, plus 18 skyboxes. The rink can be converted into seating for concerts, increasing the capacity to 12,000. Sting, Aerosmith and José Carreras have all held concerts there.
