The Trixxo Arena is the largest multipurpose arena in Hasselt, Limburg, Belgium used for music concerts, sports (tennis, indoor cycling, jumping, etc.) and other large events. It opened in September 2004 at a total construction cost of €11.7 million.[1] The arena complex can hold up to around 21,000 people, with the Main Hall holding a maximum of 18,000.[3]
The Trixxo Arena is a part of Park H and the complex has a surface of 25,000 square metres (270,000 sq ft),[1] with the Main Hall covering 13,600 square metres (146,000 sq ft).[3] At the end of 2005, "Plopsa Indoor Hasselt", an indoor attraction park for children, opened next to the arena and is unique in Belgium.
