It is a venue for concerts, sporting events and due to flexible seating arrangements, there is space for up to 6,700[2] people. The venue was opened with a concert by the Vienna Philharmonic, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, on 7 December 2003.
The Salzburgarena has the largest wooden dome of Western Austria[3] and it is directly connected to the Messezentrum Salzburg via an indoor access.
