As it stood in 2019

What Lanxess Arena looked like in its prime.

A large, elliptical indoor arena defined by a single, high steel arch rising 76 m above the roof and braced with steel suspension cables; the exterior presents a low, rounded mass with glazed entry sections and service walls, while the interior contains a deep multi-tiered seating bowl surrounding a flat central floor/ice surface. Materials are exposed steel for the arch and cables, concrete and metal cladding for the bowl, and rows of dark spectator seating in continuous tiers wrapping the floor.
