Tampereen monitoimiareena or unofficially before Tampere Central Arena is an indoor arena in Tampere in Finland that is currently under construction. It is planned to replace the old Tampere Ice Stadium. It will host ice hockey games and will be the home of Ilves and Tappara of the SM-liiga. The project was approved by the Tampere City Council on May 19, 2010.[1]
The arena and the adjacent commercial/residential skyscraper development got a final approval and construction began in January 2018. The final plan calls for a deck to be built over the existing railway connections. This deck will have the multi-use arena (13,000 seats), offices, commercial development, housing, hotel and casino. The overall vision was designed by Daniel Libeskind. The arena is expected to be complete by 2021, in time for the 2022 IIHF World Championship. The rest of the development is to be completed by 2024. [2]
