The arena for Kometa at the fairgrounds knows its final appearance, take a look
The glass façade brings in plenty of natural light. The slats change the color and color of the light according to the current use. Two large screens show what is happening in the arena. The appearance of the planned multifunctional hall at the Brno Exhibition Center is shown by its final visualization. Whether construction will actually start next year, but it will depend on money that city officials do not have secured.

The dominant elements of the building are to be the glass facade and horizontal lamellas made of brushed stainless steel. “The façade with a high degree of thermal insulation allows shops, offices, exhibition spaces or restaurants with daylight to be designed on all floors, thus achieving full use even outside the events in the hall itself. This solution underlines an important part of the intention to create a new urban living space, “said Brno Mayor Markéta Vaňková.
The slats can change the color and use of lighting according to the current arena. “The color solution is clear – the original metal surface and then the color created by the light, either by reflection from the surface or by direct lighting in the form of light strips at the head of the slats,” Vaňková specified.
A pair of large projection screens will become a significant part of the hall’s façade. “They make it possible to mediate what is happening in the hall or to attract attention with information or advertising messages,” the mayor added.
Christmas madness in Brno: crowded parking lots and roads. People went shopping
The size and shape of the arena should respect the genius loci of the exhibition center and at the same time suitably complement the surrounding important pavilions. Namely, for example, pavilion Z, which is located next to the planned hall.
The start of construction of the arena next year will depend on securing a sufficient amount of money. Currently, the costs range between 3.7 and 4 billion crowns. The price also includes a major change to the part where the parking lot for visitors is created.
Representatives of Brno at the hall are currently looking for a contractor and a construction manager. Negotiations with the person interested in operating the arena, the Hockey Comet, are also in the process. For her, the tent becomes a home stadium.
