Journey with me back to 1989. The Heysel Plateau buzzed with excitement. Not for a concert or sporting event, but for the grand opening of a new hall at the Brussels Expo complex. This wasn’t just any hall. This was the twelfth hall, a structure brimming with potential. Today, we stand before that very hall, transformed and renamed the ING Arena. Originally called Palais 12, this venue has undergone a metamorphosis. In 2013, it reopened after extensive renovations, evolving into the impressive arena you see now. The ING Arena is a crucial piece of the NEO project. This project envisions a revitalized Heysel Plateau, transforming it into a modern, multipurpose district. The arena hosts a multitude of events. From electrifying concerts featuring artists like David Guetta and Muse to conferences and major sporting events, the ING Arena has seen it all. It even hosted the semifinals of the 2017 Davis Cup World Group, where Belgium triumphed over Australia. Imagine the roar of the crowd as Belgium clinched victory on the arena’s very own clay court. With a capacity of 15,000, the ING Arena is a true giant among Belgian venues. Only Antwerp’s Sportpaleis and Hasselt’s Trixxo Arena surpass it in size. So next time you’re at the ING Arena, remember its humble beginnings as the twelfth hall of the Brussels Expo. Picture its transformation and the countless memories made within its walls. The ING Arena stands not just as a venue, but as a testament to Brussels’ vibrant cultural spirit.
