The Olympiahalle Innsbruck is a multi-purpose hall in the Tyrolean capital Innsbruck , Austria .
history
The ice rink planned by architect Hans Buchrainer for the Winter Olympics in 1964 had a capacity of 10,836 spectators at the time. Twelve years later, in 1976, Olympic competitions were held again in the Olympic Hall.
For the men's ice hockey world championship in 2005 , it was converted into a multi-purpose hall and a second small ice rink was built right next to it. The capacity of the Olympic Hall today is between around 4,000 and 12,000 spectators, depending on the event. In the smaller Tyrolean Wasserkraft Arena there are 3,058 grandstands, 1,428 of which are standing. As another international championship, the Olympic Hall was one of the venues for the 2010 European Handball Championship for men. The following year, the men's European volleyball championship made a stop in the hall.
The hall achieved Olympic honors a third time in 2012, when competitions of the first Winter Youth Olympic Games in figure skating and short track were held in the arena.
The HC Innsbruck ice hockey club used the large hall for all games from 1994 to 2005. Since the construction of the smaller hall, play-off games have only been held in the Olympiahalle when required.
Since January 2018, the Hypo Tirol Alpenvolleys Haching from the German Volleyball Bundesliga have been playing their home games in the large hall. A few games take place in Unterhaching.
