MainzArena is the working title for a planned multifunctional large sports hall/multifunctional arena at the Mainz-Mombach site. In addition to school, popular and top-class sport, cultural conferences and events are to be made possible in a new, high-performance infrastructure, thus ensuring a wide range of possible uses.

Why is the topic topical?

The existing hall "Am Großen Sand" is in need of renovation, but is extremely important for school and popular sports. Instead of renovation and patchwork, we want to seize the opportunity and think bigger about the project.

Why does this MainzArena initiative exist?

For over 40 years, there has been a need for a large sports hall in the state capital. We want to keep pushing so that the project can finally be realized. 

What is the current status?

On October 1, 2025, the city council modified its original decision of November 20, 2019, to build a large sports hall at the "Am großen Sand" site in Mainz-Mombach and voted in favor of building a large multifunctional sports hall/multifunctional arena. The construction and operating concept was then optimized and further developed, thereby reducing costs.

On December 17, 2025, the city council decided that the MainzArena should now be realized as part of the special fund of the Rhineland-Palatinate Plan. The state program supports key municipal investment projects for which the multifunctional hall is particularly suitable due to its sporting, cultural, and social significance. The relevant documents for submission to the state are currently being prepared.
