About the place

A catamaran-shaped arena brings continental basketball and arena tours to Klaipėda.

The catamaran-shaped indoor arena anchors sports and live performance in Klaipėda. Commercial naming rights belong to the local brewing enterprise Švyturys, which secured the brand placement. The venue regularly alters its floor configuration for basketball games, ice hockey matches, boxing and wrestling cards, and seated music concerts. The dual-hull exterior profile directly evokes the maritime heritage of the Baltic port.
