About this place
History of the arena
PSD Bank Nürnberg Arena opened in 2001 as part of the city’s effort to modernize its indoor sports infrastructure. It quickly became the home of the Nürnberg Ice Tigers and established itself as a regular venue for top-level German ice hockey. Over time, the arena also developed a strong role in hosting professional handball competitions.
Architecture and design
The arena features a compact rectangular indoor bowl designed for flexible sports configurations. Seating tiers are positioned close to the playing surface, ensuring good visibility for both ice hockey and handball. The enclosed structure enhances acoustics and crowd engagement.
Atmosphere and matchday experience
Ice hockey matches at PSD Bank Nürnberg Arena are known for their intense and loud atmosphere, driven by passionate home supporters. Handball games provide a different but equally engaging experience, with fast-paced action and strong crowd interaction. The arena adapts well to both sports.
Location and accessibility
The arena is located in the Langwasser district of Nuremberg, close to the city’s exhibition grounds. It is easily accessible by underground, bus and road connections, with efficient transport links from the city center on event days.
Origin of the arena name
The name PSD Bank Nürnberg Arena comes from a naming rights agreement with PSD Bank. The commercial name reflects long-term regional sponsorship rather than a change in the arena’s sporting identity.
