Spaladium Arena is a new multi-purpose sports and entertainment arena located in Split, Croatia. The 12,000 seat venue is very flexible for a variety of events and can be configured to seat anywhere from 1,246 people to 12,339. Event setups range for sports to concerts to exhibitions to conferences. Spaladium Arena was developed to meet all the requirements and dimensions of International Olympic Committee guidelines. Greatest attendance was at the Haiti benefit concert, which was viewed by 15,000 spectators.
Developed as a public/private consortium between the City of Split, Croatia and Sportski Grad TPN d.o.o., the Spaladium Arena opened on December 27, 2008 to an end-stage concert featuring Croatian musical sensations Oliver Dragojević and Toni Cetinski.
Spaladium Arena is also the home for KK Split, members of the Croatian Basketball Federation and the Adriatic Basketball Association.
Originally designed as one of six venues to host the 2009 Men's World Handball Championships, Global Spectrum Europe managed the operations at Spaladium Arena. Global Spectrum Europe (Global Spectrum-NEC d.o.o.) was a partnership between US-based Global Spectrum and the UK-based NEC Group. Together the companies managed booking, operations, and marketing for more than 80 venues throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore and now Croatia. But after the fiasco caused by the low number of events organized, the city of Split canceled the deal with Global Spectrum, and the control over the arena went to the "Sportski grad TPN" consortium. As of then, event number went up and the arena is getting positioned to be the focal point for all sports, entertainment, and business events in the Croatia’s Dalmatia region as well as a must-stop tour destination in Southeast Europe.
In addition to the main arena, Spaladium Arena also features an adjacent 1,000 square meter sports hall that is convenient for sports competitions, practices, leagues, and other entertainment opportunities seeking a smaller venue.
The main arena Spaladium Arena also includes the Gold and Silver Lounges, two smaller rooms ideal for business meetings and catered functions, such as product launches, press conferences, presentations, and banquets. Catering is available for all events in Spaladium Arena.
