History

The construction of the venue began on 24 August 1974 and was finished in late 1975. The Red Hall had its unofficial opening on 11 October 1975. At first, it was built to host different kinds of fairs, and not sports events.

After some modifications to the object, the government of Slovenia established the public company Sports and Recreation Center Red Hall (Športno-rekreativni center Rdeča dvorana) on 25 May 1992. Sports facility was renovated few times in its history, most recently in 2004.
