It is one of the first structures all over the world employing the principle of tensegrity. The 300 tones steel structure is joined with an external steel ring by means of 120 cables in a form of trusses bearing the roof.
The main hall shape resembles a flying saucer and that is the result of joining two basic functions of this structure: sports arena and show arena. The plans of two auditoriums are much different: the first one is designed for the arena central arrangement, the second one for a directional arrangement. A rink, a gym, and a hotel are adjacent to the arena and they are joined together with the so-called entresol. Spodek hosts volleyball, basketball, and ice hockey matches, as well as, music concerts, different events, scientific conferences, circus performances, and fairs.
