After space was created with the demolition of Halls 5 and 6 of the Weser-Ems-Hallen, the construction of the large EWE Arena (also called "Weser-Ems-Arena" during the planning phase) began in February 2012 . April 2013 after 14 months of construction with a BBL game between EWE Baskets Oldenburg and Telekom Baskets Bonn . Since then, the arena has been the new home ground for EWE Baskets.
