Rigas Sporta Pils
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rigas Sporta Pils (Latvian: Rīgas Sporta pils) is an ice hockey arena in Riga, Latvia. It was built in 1970 with the total capacity of 5,500 (including room for 500 standing spectators).
In the 1970s-80s, it was the home arena for the renowned ice hockey club Dinamo Riga and frequently hosted figure skating events.
From 1990 until 2006 it had been the home games' arena for the Latvian national ice hockey team. However, since 2006 it has been playing its home games in the twice-as-large Riga Arena that was built to host the 2006 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships.
Currently, the Rigas Sporta Pils is the home arena for two ice hockey clubs: Baldera hokeja skola and Vilki OP/LaRocca.
