The home of Hungarian top division handball club Tatabánya KC, it can accommodate up to 1,000 spectators in handball matches. Due to its dimensions, the sports hall is suitable for a number of other indoor sports as well as exhibitions and concerts.[2]

Built in 1976,[1] the arena went through a refurbishment in 2009 at a cost of 212 million Hungarian Forint (approximately US$900,000). In the project the weightlifting hall has been expanded and a new 280 square meter warm-up room was created. On the top of the weightlifting hall a 255 square metre training hall for the wrestling department was constructed while judo competitors got a 220 square meter practice room on the top floor.[3]

Since March 2009 the sports hall bears the name of local Olympic champion weightlifter Imre Földi.[3]
