About epet ARENA: Layout, History & Architecture

Originally constructed in 1933, epet ARENA, historically known as Stadion Letná, has undergone significant modernizations in 1969 and 1994, shaping its current form. The architectural style reflects the functionalist tendencies prevalent in mid-20th-century stadium design, characterized by a utilitarian aesthetic dominated by concrete and steel structures. As a multi-purpose outdoor venue, its primary configuration serves football matches, accommodating approximately 18,887 spectators across four distinct tiered stands surrounding a central pitch.

For live music events, the hall adapts by converting the central pitch into a flat standing area, complemented by the existing stadium seating. Sightlines from the tiered stands, designed for viewing a football pitch, generally offer clear, elevated perspectives of a centrally positioned stage. However, for those on the standing pitch, views can be challenged by crowd density, with optimal sightlines dependent on individual position and stage height. As a large, open-air structure of concrete and steel, the venue inherently lacks natural acoustic resonance; sound quality for performances relies entirely on the precise engineering and power of the installed PA system to overcome the expansive, often reflective, environment.

The Live Experience & Current Schedule

Ingress to epet ARENA is managed through multiple gates distributed around its perimeter, funneling attendees into concourses beneath the stands. These areas typically house essential concession stands and temporary bar facilities. During concerts, the pitch transforms into a high-energy standing pit, offering direct proximity to the stage, though this can lead to dense crowding. Alternatively, the stadium's tiered seating provides a more considered viewing experience, with clear, elevated sightlines offering a broader, albeit more distant, panorama of the performance. With 5 live performances scheduled, upcoming entry prices start from £29.55. The next confirmed event on the calendar is AC Sparta Praha vs Lillestrøm SK - Europa League 2026-2027 on 15th October 2026.
