Gerry Weber Stadion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gerry Weber Stadion is an indoor sporting arena located in Halle, North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. The capacity of the arena is 12,300 people and it was opened in 1992. It hosts the Gerry Weber Open every year in June. It is one of the few grass court tournaments around. The stadium has a retractable roof which can be closed in 88 seconds so that tennis games can continue when it begins to rain. The stadium is heated and also used for other sport events (handball, basketball, volleyball & boxing), TV shows and concerts. In January 2007, several games of the Handball World Championship took place there; most of them were sold out with 11,000 viewers.
