The certificate granted was at the ‘Very Good’ level. The arena, which is located on Karaliaus Mindaugo avenue, was opened in 2011. On an everyday basis it is used by the Žalgiris Kowno basketball club, the winner of the Euro league of the 1998/1999 season. The hall can seat 14,500 spectators (during a basketball game), which could be raised to 20,000 during other events, and can also be used as a conference facility. It is the largest sports arena in the Baltic states.
