Eurovia Arena (formerly known as Hant Arena) is a multi-use arena in
The building was created in 1962 and the architecture was considered too bold, too complicated, too progressive. During these year, a lot of constructions were built via prefabrication. The construction of the Hant Arena, which is a partial copy of the Dorton Arena in Raleigh, USA, was challenging, provocative and elegant at the same time.
The construction was planned in 1958, for capacity of 3,200 seats in the auditorium, but after additional adjustments to the plan, the number went up to 4,500 seat . For sports events, that require a playing area, or an area for placing a stage, is not so significant, it is possible to reach a capacity of up to 4,500 watching spectators in the auditorium of the hall.
The Projekt magazine from 1962 mentions, among others, the suitable location of locations for television broadcasts:
"For film and television, raised platforms are placed around the perimeter of the auditorium, which allows undisturbed filming of sports events. They guarantee good visibility of the playing surface as well as the electrical timing board and the scoreboard.“
This sports hall has become an icon of Slovak modern construction and belongs to the important milestones of Slovak construction in general.
The structure of the hall belongs to the buildings whose shape is determined by their static effect, which dominates the overall design. Its elegance lies in the statically artfully devised construction system, and it can therefore be considered primarily as an engineering work forming "dramatic architecture".
The Pasienka sports hall was designed and constructed about 50 years ago - with modern means, a modern approach, modern versatility. The hall does not belong to the sixties. It is timeless, still up-to-date, still used and works well.

Construction
When the need to build a new sports hall was considered in the 1950s, even the architect of the proposal, Jozef Chovanec, did not expect that its construction would cause such a strong response and would be part of the scene of Slovak architecture to this day.
