The GGW Arena in Flensburg sits on the edge of the university campus, a building that is a sports complex. The name has changed, as these things do in Germany: it was the Campus Hall, then the Flens-Arena, then the GP JOULE Arena, and now the GGW Arena. The structure itself has been quieter about its evolution. A €4 million renovation announced in December 2021 added a North building extension and expanded the stands, but the interior remains largely the same. The capacity of 6,300 seats has not budged.

The layout is defined by the handball club SG Flensburg-Handewitt. The parquet floor is a standard wooden surface, but the seating is arranged in a way that is standard. When the crowd arrives, they fill the tiered sections with a density that is typical. The LED screens around the court are bright, a replacement for the rear projection systems that used to dominate the upper walls. They are decorative.

The building has a distinct character because it was built by Winking Froh Architekten in 2001 to serve the university as much as the city. It is not a cathedral of sport, but a functional box. The attendance record is not set in stone, but matches in the EHF Champions League often draw around 5,500 spectators, which is close enough to the full house to put the game to bed early for the away side.
