The Olympiahalle (English: Olympic Hall) is a multi-purpose arena located in Am Riesenfeld in Munich, Germany, part of Olympiapark. The arena is used for concerts, sporting events, exhibitions or trade fairs. The official seating capacity for the arena varies from some 12,500 to 15,500.
History
File:GraphyArchy - Wikipedia 00018.jpg in 2018 with ensemble Olympiahalle (right), Olympic Swim Hall (left) and Olympic Stadium]]
In the past, it served as a part-time home for the defunct ice hockey team EC Hedos München. Olympiahalle opened in 1972 and was the venue for gymnastics and handball events at the 1972 Summer Olympics.[http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1972/1972s2pt2.pdf 1972 Summer Olympics official report.] – Volume 2. Part 2. pp. 182-4.
The current seating capacity of 15,500 was set after a massive overhaul was completed in 2009. A new VIP area, a restaurant and an underground second arena ("Kleine Olympiahalle") with a capacity of up to 4,000 was integrated in the new complex. The stage area was also rebuilt, which contributed to the increased seating capacity and at the same time allowed faster access for stage crews.
By February 2020, the air conditioning, other technology and lighting were modernised, and the original look from 1972 in the hall itself was restored in accordance with the monument. Most of the construction work took place while the hall was in operation.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/muenchen-olympiahalle-sanierung-1.4804708|title=München: Sanierung der Olympiahalle ist beendet|first=Ralf|last=Tögel|website=Süddeutsche.de|date=20 February 2020 }}
