Porte de La Chapelle Arena

PARA_Paris2024_Look the the Games_Arena-PortedelaChapelle

The Porte de la Chapelle Arena, an eco-design venue thought out for a legacy to benefit neighbouring communities well beyond the Games, is a new cultural hub to the north of Paris hosting a range of cultural and sporting events each day, including the home games of Paris Basketball. This new facility is designed to be open to all (especially people living nearby) and to offer a variety of sports activities in its complementary spaces. With its mid-size capacity of 8,000 seats, the Porte de la Chapelle Arena will further strengthen the choice of sport and live performance venues available throughout Paris.

La Chapelle Arena’s design is distinctly eco-friendly. 80 per cent of the building’s surface will be covered with greenery, blending gracefully into the parks and gardens that surround the site. The front will be clad with recyclable aluminium and most of the building materials will be bio-based (principally wood). The arena’s design will also be universal: the main hall, the facilities around it and the terrace over the entire complex will be accessible to everyone.

Legacy

Paris has needed a mid-size venue for a long time. This new 8,000-seat arena fulfills that need, hosting major sports events in northern Paris and providing Paris Basketball, its resident club, with a home base befitting its bold aspirations.

The surrounding neighbourhood also needs more sports facilities, and the two gyms adjoining the arena will provide them. Residents are now able to enjoy a wide array of cultural events at the arena, including live performances and conventions. After the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Porte de la Chapelle Arena will host top-level sports tournaments, live performances and other events in its main hall, and its gyms and other facilities will be open every day for people living in the area.
