Sheffield Arena (formerly Hallam FM Arena and Motorpoint Arena Sheffield) is an arena located in Sheffield, England.
The arena opened as Sheffield Arena and was renamed Hallam FM Arena, but returned to its original name as of 1 November 2007.[1] On 9 August 2010, Sheffield Arena was officially renamed Motorpoint Arena Sheffield, after the Derby based car sales company invested £1 million to rename the venue.[2] It is used for big name concerts and sporting events. It is home to the Sheffield Steelers Ice Hockey Club. In August 2015 the arena was once again rebranded as Sheffield Arena.
