Brose Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena at 15 Forchheimer Straße in Bamberg, Germany. With a capacity of around 4,500 spectators, it is a venue built for close, lively crowds rather than vast ones, and it is best known as the home of Brose Bamberg, the professional basketball team that plays in the German Basketball League (BBL) and in European competition.
What a visit offers
For most visitors, the draw is a basketball evening. Home games bring the team's supporters together under one roof, and the relatively modest size of the arena means that most seats are not far from the court. Because the building is multi-purpose, it can also host other events, so it is worth checking the programme before you travel if a particular date matters to you.
Getting oriented
The arena sits on Forchheimer Straße in Bamberg, a city in Upper Franconia in Bavaria. Anyone planning a trip should allow time to reach the address and to check the day's schedule, tickets and access arrangements with the venue or the club before leaving home.
