PalaPentassuglia, or PalaElio, is an
basketball coach Elio Pentassuglia. The arena has mainly been used to host volleyball, basketball, boxing, fencing, and gymnastics. The current capacity of the arena for basketball games is 3,534.[1]
History
The arena opened in 1981, originally having a capacity of 2,390. In 2007, the first renovation of the arena was done, with the structure's roof being reconstructed. In 2008, the arena's first expansion was done, with the capacity being increased to 2,502. That renovation also included new baskets, a revamped area around the court, remodeled and expanded locker rooms, a new gym, a new infirmary room, and a new press room.
Its capacity was then increased to 3,534 in 2010, in order to meet the 3,500 seat minimum requirement of the
Euroleague games.[2]
