Very nice project! Makes me think that Kaunas will probably be one of the team awarded an NBA Europe Franchise if they ask for it. Very nice location too!

Wow, very big, it's the arena for the final of EuroBasket 2011 right?
I like it inside very much, the outside so so. Congrats for Lithuania, 2 huge arenas. Last edited by Metal; October 1st, 2008 at 10:53 AM. |

Will Lithuania attempt to get teams into the Kontinental Hockey League? Minsk and Riga both will have sides.
Lithuania has bigger populations and better business backing that Riga and Minsk in theory. |
