Big Shot.
Big Shot. In ancient culture, arenas were places for contests of strength which carried cult significance. While such spectator sports continue in tradition, simple sand arenas of the past no longer provide sufficient terrain.
The Mannheim SAP Arena is the ultimate example of the evolution in sports arenas. A technically ingenious building, the Mannheim SAP Arena represents a model of transformation: on one day it may serve as a handball stadium, on another, an ice hockey ring, and yet on another, a concert hall or even a riding arena. The striking building accommodates up to 15,000 spectators and is correspondingly equipped for such high volumes of visitors, as it is fitted with Duravit's Starck 3 collection, ensuring top-notch design, cleanliness and hygiene in the building’s sanitary spaces.
