Since then, the O2 World has been the venue for sporting and entertainment highlights in the German capital. Since autumn 2008, up to 17,000 spectators at a time have attended concerts, sporting and entertainment events in a superlative arena. Not only do the O2 World’s technical facilities ensure that the acoustics and sightlines are excellent wherever spectators are seated, they also enable the arena to be converted from hosting concerts to sporting events in a matter of hours. The building owner and operator of the multipurpose arena is Anschutz Entertainment Group. The O2 World is part of a far-reaching strategic, interactive and international partnership between Anschutz Entertainment Group and O2 which is scheduled to run for 15 years.
