The National Gymnastics Arena, or Milli Gimnastika Arenası, in Baku, Azerbaijan is an indoor arena designed to have an expansive space, which is as flexible as possible (a nod to Azerbaijan’s excellence in rhythmic gymnastics!). The SPS Stadia+Arenas System helped make that happen.
Primarily designed as an indoor arena to accommodate rhythmic gymnastic competitions, the permanent seating saw the installation of 3,319 m² [35,725 ft²] of SPS stadia decking for this new gymnastics arena, which can accommodate anywhere from 5000 to 9000 spectators, depending on the event requirements.
This new arena complex houses the gymnastics arena, an additional 2,500 m training hall, a medical centre, canteens, offices, and 16,000 m² of landscaped gardens. In addition to the permanent Sandwich Plate System stands, there is retractable and moveable seating and the arena can be easily adapted to host various sporting events and concerts. The venue has hosted many high-profile events, including the 2014 European Championships, the 2015 European Games, numerous taekwondo and martial arts championships and is home to the Azerbaijan National Gymnastics Team.
”The SPS units were so light and easy to position. We simply followed the keyplan and erected it just like steel – in fact, easier.
