Sportovní hala Datart

Sportovní hala Datart sits in Zlín. Inside, however, the atmosphere shifts with the sport. The wooden parquet floor is the heart of the venue, a hard surface that echoes with the sharp clicks of hockey sticks and the squeak of volleyball shoes. It was laid down in 1977 and has seen decades of sporting activity since.

For the local handball fans, the arena is a familiar haunt.

The sponsorship names have changed over the years—Sportovní hala Euronics, then Novesta—but the structure remains the same. The capacity for a standing concert can reach 7,000, filling the space with energy, though for a volleyball match it settles to 2,000.
