Porsche Tennis Grand Prix (Tennis) (2006-present) |
Porsche Arena is an indoor sporting arena located in Stuttgart, Germany. The capacity of the arena is 6,100 people and opened in 2006. It is the venue for the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, a WTA Tour event. It also hosted some matches at the 2007 World Men's Handball Championship.
To fund the construction costs had already been pre-construction sales of the name rights planned. Dr. Ing h.c. F. Porsche AG bought the name rights for a ten million euro for a term of 20 years.
Anton Hunger: “The tournament is now at home in Stuttgart. We knew we’d make mistakes at the first edition. But we didn’t promise too much last year and have eliminated almost all the mistakes in 2007. A total of more than 36,000 spectators were in the arena. The number was up on the previous year even though seating was slightly reduced to improve comfort.”
