The Fraport Arena (until 2011 Ball Sports Hall Frankfurt am Main ) is a sports hall in the Hessian city of Frankfurt am Main . Since the 2011/12 season, the hall has been called the Fraport Arena after the new main sponsor of the Fraport Skyliners , the Fraport operating company at Frankfurt Airport .
history
The hall should originally be called Ball Sports Hall Höchst . The naming was rejected again because it is not in the Höchst district , but in the area of the Unterliederbach district . Silostraße, which connects the districts of Höchst and Zeilsheim , runs on the south side . To the east is the area of the silo pool. Around the corner is the Centennial Hall .
The hall was built in 1988 and has since offered space for 5,002 spectators. The hall has an idiosyncratic architecture , because its east and west sides are modeled on the cross-section of a football . There is a photovoltaic system with 800 modules on the roof . It generates around 180,000 kWh per year, which covers the electricity needs of around 60 private households. The operators sell part of the electricity directly to the city for the operation of the arena. The arena is mainly used for basketball , volleyball and handball games. A major damage was caused in 2003 by inflowing groundwater .
On February 25, 2012, a disaster control exercise took place in this hall. In the scenario of the large-scale exercise with 250 injured and around 1,000 emergency services, immediate rescue was practiced in the event of major incidents.
