About this venue
Eissporthalle Frankfurt is more than an ice arena—it’s a well-known sports and event hall where Frankfurt’s hockey culture feels close and intense. Opened in 1981, it has hosted major games and a wide range of events for decades. With nearly 7,000 spectators, it’s a venue built for big emotions while keeping the action clearly in view.
Inside, you get a true arena experience: strong sightlines from the stands, punchy acoustics that lift chants and music, and visitor-friendly amenities for a smooth night out. Beyond ice sports, the hall is also used for “ice-free” productions, making its multi-purpose setup one of its strongest assets.
You’ll find it on the eastern edge of Bornheim at Am Bornheimer Hang 4, Frankfurt, Germany. The entrance is an easy walk from Eissporthalle/Festplatz stop (U7 and tram line 12). If you’re coming by car, the approach via the A661 (Frankfurt-Ost exit) is straightforward, with parking options in the surrounding areas of the complex.

About the city
Frankfurt am Main, known for its striking skyline, is not only a business hub but also a top destination for concerts and sporting spectacles. The city blends big-city energy with relaxed riverside walks, making it easy to pair a night out at an event with a short city break. With a strong range of entertainment options, a wide choice of arenas and stadiums, and lively neighbourhoods, Frankfurt is a great pick for anyone looking for high-level entertainment without unnecessary hassle.
The city prides itself on a highly practical transport setup: the RMV network connects the wider region, while within the city you’ll most often rely on S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Straßenbahn (tram) and buses. Getting in is straightforward for rail travellers via Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof, and for those arriving by air through Flughafen Frankfurt am Main (FRA). Links to the main event locations are excellent, so reaching stadiums and venues such as Deutsche Bank Park, Festhalle Frankfurt or Jahrhunderthalle is typically quick and easy to navigate, with frequent services and clear interchanges.
Take the chance to explore the city before or after the show: stroll through the historic centre around Römerberg, admire the elegant Alte Oper, and enjoy the promenade along the River Main, which combines urban buzz with calmer spots to unwind. Culture lovers often choose the Museumsufer, while for an evening atmosphere Alt-Sachsenhausen is popular for its traditional taverns. If you’re after shopping or simply lively city crowds, Zeil is a must, and for a classic metropolitan feel, just find a good viewpoint over Frankfurt’s skyline.
