The main hall, a venue steeped in Lithuanian basketball history, has been reconstructed and reopened for use by the public. Starting June 29th, individuals are welcome to play basketball in the facility. This location has served as a proving ground for notable Lithuanian basketball figures, including Arvydas Sabonis, and was the site of Paulas Jankūnas’s early career moments.
Paulas Jankūnas reflected on the significance of the venue, recalling his initial visits. He stated that his first time entering the hall was around 2001, when he was playing with the reserve team. He remembered sitting on wooden benches to watch games, describing the atmosphere as profoundly impressive.
Jankūnas recalled the collective energy of the crowd, noting the feeling of being supported as a novice player. He added that many had predicted the atmosphere would reach new heights during a Euroleague event, a prediction that proved accurate. The reopening marks a return to a key athletic space for the local basketball community.
Fans and players can now utilize the renovated hall for their activities. The facility continues to hold importance for the sport, honoring its past while providing a modern space for current practitioners.
