Among other things, these facilities include a 300-metre running track with six lanes and a full-size football pitch. The stands in Hall A have 1,500 seats.
 
The hall also has restaurant, café and meeting facilities. In conference use, the facilities of Hall A have been dimensioned for 10,000 people.

Tramway construction starts - traffic arrangements change

The Pirkkala-Linnainmaa alliance of Tampere Tramway has started construction of the tramway in Hatanpää, Härmälä and Partola. The work-related traffic arrangements will also affect access to Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre, especially from the Tampere city centre; for example, Hatanpään valtatie will have more single-lane lanes at the beginning of February. It is also worth noting that passing from Nuolialantie to Tampere and/or Partola will be prohibited throughout the construction work.
