History

The arena was originally opened in the year 1970. In 2005, it was reconstructed, renovated, and remodeled. After Khimki Moscow Region qualified to play in the 2009–10 EuroLeague season, the arena was again further renovated and updated, and its regular fan seating capacity was increased from 3,500 to 4,000, with the arena's overall capacity being increased to 5,025, including lounge areas. Starting with the 2016–17 EuroLeague season, the EuroLeague no longer allowed Khimki to play its home EuroLeague games at the arena, since it did not meet the EuroLeague's minimum arena seating capacity rule of at least 5,000 regular fan seats.

The arena was used to host the 2012 EuroCup Final Four.
