The MET Arena, formerly known as the Alba Arena, is a large-scale investment that can accommodate 6,000 people and can be expanded to accommodate 2,250 people in the arena. In addition to serving ice hockey matches, the hall is also suitable for other indoor sports and other performances, fairs, concerts and other sporting events in Székesfehérvár and the surrounding area.
The excavation works started in November 2021 on the outskirts of the city, on the Buda road. In addition to the construction of the multifunctional events and sports hall, which is part of the Modern Cities Programme, major road network improvements have been made, creating a direct link between the Alba Industrial Zone and Budai út.
By the end of 2021, 22 thousand cubic metres of humus had been extracted and transported to the Lower Town Meadow, where we helped the tree planting programme of the municipality's White Castle Lung project, while the 60 thousand cubic metres of fill soil excavated from under the building and the associated roads provided enormous help in the recultivation of the nearby Csúcsos Hill quarry, and its subsequent transformation into green space.
From the top, the Alba Arena is a 120x120 m sports hall. The piling and concreting of the foundation slab was completed by the end of June 2022, and the entire monolithic and reinforced concrete frame structure was completed by the end of December. For the pile foundation, almost six kilometres of piles were driven into the ground. Almost 20,000 cubic metres of concrete were used and more than 2,000 tonnes of reinforcing steel were used for the monolithic structures. More than 14,000 square metres of slab roofing was applied.
The planned facility will be a sports hall with an essentially sporting function, designed primarily for ice hockey events. Its multifunctionality will be ensured by the permanent ice coverage in the hall, which will allow the creation of a playing field for all other major sports, in line with international standards. Other multifunctional spaces (such as restaurants, offices, meeting rooms, multifunctional rooms) will be attached to the hall.
