The large hall of Hala Tivoli opened in 1965 and has hosted world ice hockey championships
The large hall of Hala Tivoli is Ljubljana's ice hall. Marjan Božič and Stanko Bloudek designed it at the edge of Tivoli park, and it was built between November 1963 and March 1965; its first guest was Louis Armstrong, who played to about 6,000 people. The hall covers 3,600 square metres and has 4,000 seats.
It was meant mainly for ice hockey and has hosted world championships in ice hockey, starting with Group A in 1966, as well as in basketball, figure skating and gymnastics. For basketball the court was laid over the ice and temporary stands raised the capacity to about 6,000. The record crowd, more than 8,000, came for a Dire Straits concert in 1985.
The city renovated the hall in 2013, and in 2015 it marked its 50th anniversary. For public skating the rink takes 200 people at a time.
