The Salzburg ice arena is a multifunctional ice rink that was built on behalf of the City of Salzburg in 1960. It is the home ground of the EC Red Bull Salzburg , an ice hockey club of the Erste Bank ice hockey league , the DEC Salzburg Eagles from the top women's division and the Elite Women's Hockey League , as well as the EC Oilers Salzburg .

Today's ice arena was designed by the architect Heinz Hochhäusl as a pure artificial ice rink in the Salzburg Volksgarten . In 2002 and 2003, with the help of the EC Red Bull Salzburg main sponsor Red Bull and its patron Dietrich Mateschitz , the building was converted into a multi-purpose hall . The hall is 80 meters wide, 60 meters deep and 13.5 meters high. It offers space for 3,500 visitors at ice hockey games, but also up to 6,800 at other events. The ice arena has two ice rinks totaling 3,600 square meters, one of the two being outdoors.

From 2005, the EC Red Bull Salzburg hosted the Red Bulls Salute there , a season-preparatory and international ice hockey invitation tournament.
